you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do not
absorb impurities into the blood, while
the bowel pores do, says a we'll known
physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, glass Of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-

and freshcn the entire alimentary tract,
