Not a Bite of
 Breakfast Until
 You Drink Water
Says glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when it buns, leaves behind certain amount of incOm- bustible material in the form of ashes so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the ailmentary canal q certain amount of indigestable ma terial, which if not completely elimi- mated from the system each day, be- comes food for the millions of bacte- ria which infest the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptomain-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't get feeling right must begin to take in- side baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previ- ous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire ailmen tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head. aches, colds, biliousness. constipa- tion, others who wake up with bad taste. foul breath, 'backache. rheuma- tic stiffness, or have sour, gassy stomach after meals are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phos- phatc from the drug store, and be- gin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little. but is sui ficieEt to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. causing poor health. while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens tho skin. so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
