Hot Water for

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto.lntoxlcaLlon—which means selt-
polsonlog. Lives and bowel poisons
called toxins, suceed Into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so Last
that It congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable'
your meals sour and almost nal:mare
you. Then you resort to anetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which tempor-
arily relieve but do not rid the blood of
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon-
ful of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tem and cure you of headache but will
cleanse. purity and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. It is in-
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al-
moet tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which 1s not unpleasant.
