Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- hate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day's ac cumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal . pure and fresh, Those who are subject to sick head- ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheum stiff. ness, or have @ sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get @ quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing in- ternal sanitation. 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 im- purities into the blood, causing poor ealth, while the bowel pores do, Just and hot water cleanses, sweet- freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels— Advt.
