Says lnalde-hnthlng"make one lock and feel clegn, sweet and refreshed. Wash yourself on_the inside before- breakfast like you do on the outside, This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly . ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which ara absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each d2y, a glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wach these poisons, gases and toxins from t@e stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentery canal before putting more food (nia the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drig store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with a dull, aching head ar. have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty; breath, sallow complexion, others wha! have bllious attacks, acid stomach cr, ion are assured of pro-! , | pounced lmpro\ement in both healthi and appearance shortly. =2 ROAD SOCIETY | Copp Place Purchased by St. Louls' Granddaughters of the Late Samucl Copp. Donald and Alten Wheeler attended Norwich fair 'Wednesday.
