Headache of any kind, Is caused by

poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood SO fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins Of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable.

aspirin or the bromides which tempor-
arily relieve but do not rid the Dlood OF
these Irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full OF limestone phosphate in it. drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
TEN and cure you of headache but VIII
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
mound Of limestone phosphate. 1t Is In

or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
nhated hot water cure to rida your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and 1t Is claimed
