SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POlSONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In Is,
before breakfast. ..

TO feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every moving, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
cling with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a not
ed physician. . .s....s.,.... j.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily. It's your
liver. If you wake up with a bad
taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or
stomach becomes, rancid, it's your
liver. Sallow skin, muddy complex.
ion, watery eyes all denote liver un-
cleanliness. Your liver is the most
important, also the most abused and
neglected organ Of the body. Few
know its function or how to release
the dammed-up body waste, bile and
toxins. Most, folks resort to violent
calomel, which is q dangerous, sail
waiting chemical because it accumu-
lates in the tissues, also attacks the
bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with teaspoonful Of limestone phos-
phate in It, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigesti-
BILE material, the poisons, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and freshening the entire ali
mentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calonel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless
and you can eat anything afterwards.
It is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
and any pharmacist win sell you q
quarter pound, which is sufficient fol
demonstration of how hot water
and limestone phosphate cleans slim
ulates and freshens the liver, keeping
