Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can’t look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.
Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. “What’s ah inside bath?"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. It is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of intestines
of the previous day’s waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul
breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou
ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, im
pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
nottfget feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more
important to bathe on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do® not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do. *

Their Medicine Chest For 20 Years
IT is characteristic of
folks after they pass the allotted
‘ three score years and ten,” to look
back over the days that are gone
and thoughtfully live them over.
I find myself, at seventy-one, frequently
drifting back a quarter of a century, when
I see myself in the little drug store I owned
at Bolivar, Mo., making and selling a
vegetable compound to my friends and
easterners—what was then known only as
Dr. Lewis’ Medicine for Stomach, Liver
and Bowel Complaints.
For many years while I was perfecting my
formula I studied and investigated the
laxatives and cathartics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
wa-s not that they did not act on the bowels,
but that their action was too violent and
drastic, and upset the system of the user;
which was due’to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, some
■imply acting upper or small intes
tines, while others would act only on the
lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced a habit re
pairing augmented doses.
I believed that a preparation to produce
the best effect must first tone the liver,
then act on the stomach and entire alimen
tary system. If this was accomplished, the
medicine would produce a mild, but
thorough elimination of the waste without
the usual sickening sensations, and make
the user feel better at once.
After experimenting with hundreds of
different compounds, I at last perfected the
formula that is now known as Nature’s
Remedy, which I truly believe goes further

and does more than any laxative on the
market today. The thousands of letters
from users have convinced me I was right,
and that the user of Nature’s Remedy as a
family medicine, even though he may have
used it for twenty-five years, never has
to increase the dose.
/;My knowledge of medicine and the re
sults of its use in my own family and
among my friends, before I ever offered it
for sale, caused me to have great faith in
Nature's Remedy from the very first.
And now as I find myself nearing the age
when I must bow to the inevitable and go
to another life, my greatest pleasure is to
sit each day and read the letters that each
mail brings from people as old or older
than I, who tell of having used Nature’s
Remedy for ten, fifteen and twenty years,
and now they and their children and
grandchildren have been benefitted by it.
It is a consoling thought, my friends, for
a man at my age to feel that aside from
his own success, one has done something
for his fellow man. My greatest satisfac
tion, my greatest happiness today, is the
knowledge that tonight more than one
million people will take a Nature’, Remedy
(NR Tablet) and will be better, healthier,
happier people for it. I hope you will
be one. of them.

AS PHYSIC AND
AUTHORS CLASH
Seldom have motion pictures re
ceived higher and more effective en
jdorsement than was telegraphed to
Chicago papers by the seven Eminent
Authors in reply to an attack by
Dr. J. W. Hickson, psychopathic hos
pital expert for Chicago.
j The doctor was quoted as saying
movies aopeal only to persons
whose mentality is that o’ children.
What Rex Beach, Rupert Hughes and
the others took exception to especial
ly was his statement that writers
for the movies have about the intelli
gence of boys of fourteen. Major
Hughes answei'-d directly the obser
vation “that Tolstoi, Ibsen, Suder
mann and the great European writers
.wrote about ‘nuts’ because there is
| n< thing about the ordinary man wor
thy of writing about.”
Although the Eminent Authors are
at the present time scattered all over
the United States from New Hamp
hire and New Vik to California,
they rallied together to present the
most imposing array of statements
in behalf of motion pictures that
has been assembled in many a day.
“Dr. Hickson evidently knows more
I about psychopathic wards in Chicago
hospitals than about motion pictures
i O r he would know that many estab
lished writers are anxious to fgllow
the lead of Eminent Authors and co
operate directly with scenario ex
perts and directors for the screen, as
seven of us are now doing, and as I
have done for several years. He is
1 still in the dark ages of the movies,
while a new day—the author’s day—
I has dawned.” REX BEACH.
Ardsley-on-Hudson.
I “There was a time —and that not
so long ago—when the * author had
so little consideration paid him that
it wasn’t strange he hesitated to
write for motion pictures, but more
and more I am sure the best writers
will have the pleasure of seeing their
stories on the screen. I am at the
Goldwyn studios in Califgrnia to co
operate in the production of my first
picture for Eminent Authors, ‘Perch
of the Devil.’ Actions, perhaps, speak
louder than Dr. Hickson’s words.”
GERTRUDE ATHERTON.
Los Angeles, Calif.
“Every man is worth writing about
and writing to—even Dr. Hickson.
There is still too much good in the
worst of us for the best of us to
' scorn the rest of us. The average
man is America’s greatest problem.
' He is the chief ingredient of the cup
’ of fury which Father Time is holding
’ up to the lips of the world.”
RUPERT HUGHES,
Culver City, Calif.
1 “Dr. Hickson is too severe. At
worst the producers of motion pic
tures have got into a rut. My sen-
’ sation at screen plays is that it
' s a little always the same thing—as
- the French say. I am at present
• writing what I think will make a
really big picture play, and I am not
appealing only to the mentality of
children. Does that answer the doc
or's criticism?’’
BASIL KING,
Monadnock, N. H.
» “Moving pictures must inevitably
take their place among the solid in
stitutions of life. Here is a new art,
compounded of the work, the co
operative effort of the author, direc
tor and actor. It is an art as stable
as the theater, but with all the great
outdoors for its stage.”
MARY ROBERTS RHINEHART.
Sewickley, Penna.
“The screen is rapidly becoming a
new and true medium for artistic
expression that carries something of
the charm and personality of an
author as well as sustains the spirit
of his story. And no story is too
big for motion picture and the movie
audience.
GOUVENEUR MORRIS,
Bedford Hills, N. Y.
“Contrary to report of Dr. Hick
son’s statement,- Tolstoi thought the
(peasants were the hope of Russia and
the true artists. Ask the doctor to
read ‘What Is Art?’ by Tolstoi. Per
sonally I have great hopes for the
photoplay. It is coining a new form
of art.” LEROY SCOTT,
New York.
