WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins
from system before putting
more food into stomach.
Says lnslde-bathlng makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
illness, while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by
day it quickly ferments and gener-
ates poisons, gases and toxins which
are absorbed or sucked into the
blood stream. through the lymph
ducts which should suck only nour-
ishments to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, n
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
II. which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetaning
and freshening the entire alimentarv
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
