Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep- well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split- | ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the { whole of the internal poisonous stag- nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing. weli, should each morning, before breakfdst, 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 purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and give one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoving your breakfast the water and pnosphate is quietly ex- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. o The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, brood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject of in-. | ternal sanitation. sick or
