Everyone Should |
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
V Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before,
j breakfast. j
To feel your best day in and day out,
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
eoat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa
tion, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom
ach, you must bathe on the inside like [
you bathe outside. This is vastly more j
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood. |
while the bowel pores do. says a well
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in IL This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
• Get a quarter pound of limestone
phoaphate from your pharmacist It
IB inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which Is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys
tem of these vile poisons and toxins;
a’so to prevent their , formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
■juscles became saturated with an ac
cumulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all. keep it up!
As soap and hot water act on ths skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so
limestone phosphate and hot water be
fore breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.
.IHAVEDARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
>
r Nobody can < Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.
.
» Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
■ faded or streaked appearance,this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect. By asking at any drug
store for “Wyeth’s Bago and Sulphur
Compound,” you will get a large bot
tle of this old-tlrne recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
j the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Su'phur Compound now because kt
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied—
it’s so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
Irnw it through your hair, taking one
trend at a time. By morning the
ray hair disappears; after another
ipplication or tw<>, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation l.s a
delightful toilet requisite. It Is not in
tended for tlie cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
