a weed, nor flower even, anywhere.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In 1t before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto ntoxication-which means self
poisoning. Lives and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that 1t 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,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you Then you resort to acetanilide,
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 teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tenn and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound OF limestone phosphate. 1t Is In
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for q SouriSh
twinge which is not unpleasant.
II you aren't feeling your best, ii
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
/ indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
| phated hot water cure to rid your
| system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and 1t is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know q miserable moment
