the heart which pumps the blood so
fast that IL congests in the smaller
arteries and veins of the head, pro-
ducins violent, throbbing pain and
distress, called headache. You be

erish and miserable, your meals sour
and almost nauseate you. Then you
resort to acetanilid, aspirin or the
bromides, which temporarily relieve
but do not rid the blood of these ir-
ritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
ii, drank before breakfast will not
only wash these poisons from your
system and cure you of headache,
but will cleanse, purify and freshen
the alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quar-
ter pound OF limestone phosphate. II
