BF<OT BOT WATER
MM* IF YOU
BOOT FEEL EMIT
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast j
washes out poisons.
If you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. < Do your
inside bathing immediately upon aris
ing in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous day's poison
ous waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body im
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for a
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are as
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.—Adv.
Footing the Bill.
Mr. Newman had just recovered
from an operation and was talkiug to
a friend.
“The surgeon,” he remarked, “said
he’d have ine on my feet again in

the friend.
“He did, indeed,” responded Mr
Newman. “I had to sell my motor car
to pay his bill.”—Christian Register.
ENDS DYSPEPSIA,
INDIGESTION, GAS
‘•Pape’s Diapepsin” cures sick,
sour stomachs in five minutes
—Time It!
“Really does” put bad stomachs in
order—“really does" overcome indiges
tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
sourness in five minutes—that—just
that—makes Pape's Diapepsin the lar
gest selling stomach regulate r in the
world. If what you eat ferments into
stubborn lumps, you belch gas and
eructate sour, undigested food and
acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath
foul; tongue coated; your insides filled
with bile and indigestible waste, re
member the moment “Pape's Dtapep
sin” comes in contact with the stomach
all such distress vanishes. It’s truly
astonishing—almost marvelous, and
the joy is its harmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape’s Dia
pepsin will give you a hundred dollars’
worth of satisfaction.
It’s worth its weight in gold to men
and women who can’t get their stom
achs regulated. It belongs in youi
home—should always be kept handy
in case of sick, sour, upset stomach
during the day or at night. It’s the
quickest, surest and most harmless
stomach doctor in the world.—Adv.

ON LIVER, BOWELS
No sick headache, biliousness,
bad taste or constipation
by morning.
Get a 10-cent box.
Are you keeping your bowels, liver
and stomach clean, pure and fresh
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with
Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or
Purgative Waters?
Stop having a bowel ■wash-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg
ulate the stomach, remove the sour
and fermenting food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will make you
feel great by morning. They work
■while you sleep—never gripe, sicken
or cause any inconvenience, and cost
only 10 cents a box from your store.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
have Headache, Biliousness, Coated
Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach or
Constipation. Adv.
