Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuiees of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to,
feel dull and heavy when we arse;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy al
ways by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphat-
ed hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the. stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards OF bowels tho
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate,
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a.
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but q little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone,
phosphate will cost very little at the,
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble,
or rheumatism a real enthusiast on
the subject of internal sanitation.
Try it and you are assured that you
will look better and feel better in
every way shortly.
