♦.. :: DRINK HOT WATER AND RID I :: JOINTS OF RHEUMATIC RUST I .> Why rheumatism and lumbago sufferers should drink phosphated I o hot water each morning before breakfast f i RUST i °P | IRON/ : < > RUST OF | RHEUMATISM I I 1 2 Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombus tible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a cer tain amount of indigestible material, which if not completely eliminated •each day, becomes food for the mil lions of bacteria which infest the bow els. From this mass of left-over waste material, toxins and ptomaine-like poi sons, called uric acid, is formed and then sucked into the blood where it continues to circulate, collecting grain by grain in the joints of the body much like rust collects on the hinge as shown above. Men and women who suffer from lumbago, rheumatism or sore, stiff, aching joints should begin drinking phosphated hot water, not as a means to magic relief from pain, but to pre vent more uric acid forming in the system. Before eating breakfast each morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will first neu tralize and then wash out of the' stom ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the pre vious day's accumulation of toxins and poisons; thus, cleansing, sweetening, and freshening the entire alimentary canal, each morning, before putting more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make any rheumatic or lumbago sufferer an en thusiast on the morning inside bath. Millions of people keep their joints free from these rheumatic acids by practicing this daily internal sanita tion. A glass of hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate, drank before breakfast, is wonderfully invig orating; besides, it is an excellent health measure because it cleanses the alimentary organs of all the waste, gases and sour fermentations, making one look and feel clean, sweet and fresh all day. Those who try this for one week may find themselves free from sick j headaches, constipation, bilious at ; tacks, sallowness, nasty breath and i stomach aciditv.

Efficiency built the Panama Canal, after inefficiency failed. The efficiency of the Panama Canal doubled the effective ness of the LT. S. Navy without adding a ship to it. It took over 8,000 miles out of the trip from New York to San Francisco and changed the highway between London and Australia from Suez to Panama. Efficiency insures against lost motion—it produces the ut most sendee out of equipment and yields the finest product, at the least cost. Certain-teed Roofing is an efficiency product Every advantage that men, money and machinery can offer is used to increase the production, maintain the quality and lower the cost. Each of the General’s enormous mills is advantageously located to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution. Each is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw materials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of the needs of manufacturing, thus guarding against increased cost due to idle machinery. This also insures favorable buying, and the pick of the market. Expert chemists at each mill rxe employed to select and blend the asphalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made under their watchfui rare. CERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive to ordinary’ roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General’s board of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a roofing more pliable, and more impervious to the elements than the harder, drier kind. CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles. 1 here is a type ot Llk I AIin TEED for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply (1,2 or 3). Experience proves that it lasts longer.
