BEGIN HOT WAITER
DRINKING TlP YOU.
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass OF hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; If your
head Is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stonn-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sauow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it, This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract Do your inside bathing inl>
mediately upon arising In the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-.
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm.
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound Of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which
Is not unpleasant.
Just rs soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
Kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis.
order should begir. this inside bathing
before Cbreakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly
