Not a Bite of Breakfast Until
 You Drink Water
says . glass of hot water and phosphate prevents Illness
 and keeps us it.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ash es so the food and drink taken day after day leaves i'll the alime ntary canal a certain amount of indiges- tible material, which If not com pletely eliminated from the system each day, becomes food for the mil lions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left over waste. toxins and ptomain-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who cant get feeling right must begin to take in- side baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a .easpoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of pois- ons and toxins and to keep the en- tire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick headaches, colds, biliOusness, con- stipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath. backache, rheumatic stiffness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urg- ed to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing internal sanf- tation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 |. Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing. be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health. while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and water cleans es, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the stomach, liver. kid neJs and bowels.
