Hot W alter for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
in it before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which means self
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 call
ed headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent. sick, feverish and miserable,
grade salt. IT is made entirely from
inviting ingredients. In the second
place you cannot distinguish it when
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood
Of these irritating toxins.
A glass Of hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it,
drunk befora breakfast for a while,
will not only wash those poisons from
YOUR system and cure you of head
ache but will cleanse, purify and
frcshen the entire alimentary canal,
Ask your pha 1macist for q quarter
round Of limestone phe.aAs8te. 1t is
Inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and
almost tastelcss, except for sourish
stwinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
] ad taste, foul breath or have colds,
Indigestion, billiousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning neyer have any headache or
know a miserable moment.

was too weak to cry out, or attract
her attention in any way. She, walk

said Cadmus, Il felt Sas if my only
chance of help had gone. Then
heard the swish of skirts and opening
my eyes I saw Miss Mcleod almost on

and the next moment she lifted up
my head and began pouring hot drink
down my throat Then she fairly jam
med a doughnut into my mouth and
begged mo to cat it. It was some job
but I finally got it down. She asked
my name and address and then gave
me hers She lifted me up and tried
TO get me 10 walk but the. pain was
too great so she caught me under the
arm pits and dragged me along. Then
