This lack of nourishment causes slow for mation of the teeth, and naturally much pain when they come through, as in later months baby’s gums are harder. If the baby is fretful, sleeps poor ly, loses appetite and occasionally has j a slight fever during teething time, j indigestion is probably the cause, but! care must be taken not to use strong, j irritating drugs that cause inflamma-: tion of the delicate membrane of ba by’s stomach. One of the best laxatives for teeth-, ing babies is “Baby Ease,” a perfect- j ed preparation by a baby specialist that is easy-acting, non-irritating, does not produce orter-action, or leave baby constipated. “Baby Ease” j is a safe, harmless and efficient laxa-! tive and corrective. Use it and you will see a wonderful improvement in ! your baby, if not, take him to a phy- I sician. Ask your druggist for “Baby Ease.” VICTIMS RESCUED Kidney, liver, bladder and uric acid troubles are most dangerous be cause of their insidious attacks.

Says Inside-bathing makes any one look and feel clean, sweet and refreshed. ll | Wasn yourself on the Inside before breakfast like you do on the outside This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb Impuri ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be j carried out of the body. If this waste ! material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sus tain the body. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a I glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal befor putting more food into the stomach. ■» A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with a dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stomach or constipation are assured of fc. pro nounced improvement in both health and appearance shortly.
