preceded by aides in distinguished

than the first lady Of the land, hostess

His treasure was constituted OF

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Silicon For Hair Growth

GIVE NATURE A CHANCE
All power for cure lies within the
BODY itself. and 1t has been truly SAID
that nature is the only physician. The
simple thing to do is to give your pooy
q chance to bring about cure oy
stopping any interference with the
normal order OF the natural processes.
No matter from what disease you
may be suffering, or whether you are
lust feeling sluggish and "dopey." the
first thing to do to get the best re-
suits is to increase elimination OF
bodily toxins. This you can do by
deep breathing exercises. using two
or three sponge or shower baths daily.
drinking two or three gallons Of water
each day, and taking two enemas
daily to flush out the bowels. That
drinking Of two or three gallons Of
water each day Is to help kidney elm
nation, and using two enemas daily
to cleanse the bowels Of fecal matter
and toxins.
These eliminative measures will be
many times more effective II no reg

and only fruit or fruit juices taken.

You can go about your regular
