Just an coal, when it burns, leaves
| behind a certain amount of Incom
bustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken
clay after day leaves In the alimen
tary canal a certain amount of Indi
gestible material, which if not com
pletely eliminated each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria
which infest tfie bowels. Prom this
mass of left-over waste material,
toxins and ptomaine-like poisons,
called uric acid, is formed and then
sucked into the biobd where it con
tinues to circulate, collecting grain
by grain in the joints of the body
much like rust collects on the hinge
as shown above. *
Men and women who suffer from
lumbago, rheumatism or sore, 'stiff
aching joints should begin drinking
phosphated hot water, not as a
means to magic relief from pain,
but to prevent mare uric acid form
ing in the system. Before eating
breakfast each morning, drink a
glass of roa'. hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in

Absolutely Removes
Indigestion. Druggists
refund money if it fails. 25c
it. This will first neutralize and
then wash out of the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels the previous
day's accumulation of toxins and
poisons; thus, cleansing, sweetening,
and freshening the entire alimen
tary canal, each morning, before
putting more food into the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
any rheumatic or lumbago sufferer
an enthusiast on the morning Inside
bath.
Millions ft f people keep their
joints free from these rheumatic
acids by practicing this daily inter
nal sanitation. A glass of hot wa/ter
with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate, drank before breakfast, *
is wonderfully invigorating; besides,
it is an excellent health measure be
cause it cleanses the alimentary or
gans of all the waste, gases and
sour fermentations, making one look
and feel clean, sweet and fresh all
day.
Those who try this for one week v
inay find themselves free from sick x
headaches, constipation, bilious at
tacks, sallowness, nasty breath
stomach acidity.
