Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.
If you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
i sours and forms gas and acid in stom
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can’t get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
; before breakfast, a glass of real hot
| water a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. Thi3 will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
\ sweeten and purify the entire alimen
tary tract. Do your inside bathing 1m
I mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre
I vious day’s poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
, the stomach.
, To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and:
! muscles became loaded with body im
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and womeii
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.

A widespread movement to preserve

aroused great interest in the material*
which will assist in such preservation.
Paint is by far the most important
agency in the protection of exterior
surfaces against deterioration through

coiding to the quality of that materia'
itself, so the effect of colors produce*
