PERFECT PEACE AND CONTENTMENT When You Eat Koors Bread Koors Butter Koors Ice Cteam Look ahd Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day { Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out polsons. Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work wvell, sleep well, look well, and yet 10w very easy it is if one will only dopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel 1ull and heavy when they arise, split- ing headache, stuffy from a cold, foul ongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, :an, instead, feel as frelh as a daisy »y opening the sluices of the system sach morning and flushing out the vhole of the internal poisonous stag- nant matter. : Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri{ylng the entire alimentary canal before utting more food into the stomach. e action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invi’gorahng. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thor~h flushing of all the inside ‘fon ‘e who are it on, bilious ac 1eumatism; , ha skins, blo e . and 8. aplexions are urged to get a quarver pound of lime- stone phos]phnte from the di store which will cost very -little, but is sufficient to make anyone & pro- nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation. ; ECKLES, KKK KKK KKK KRR K .
