Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water

out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat WELL digest we'll, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a

how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache. stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the. internal poisonous stag
rant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
WELL should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate In 1t. to wash !. from the
stomach. liver kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestitAe waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
tie entire alimentary canal before
putting moro food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully 1nvigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations. gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is. quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs. -
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is suf'
ficent to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject Of internal sani-
tation. adyt

Tells How to Take Soreness From %
Corn and Lift It Right Dat.

Hospital records show that every
time you cut corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority. who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit
tie cost from the drug store but is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
this on a tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved. Shortly
the entire corn can be lifted out, root
and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries ct once
and Is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
