of the hair, that dissolves and entirely

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat

is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal SANTA

man body as it is to the drains of the
house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a colo,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach. can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the slu,ces of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone

urged to get a quarter pound of lime
