Helen came toward me with arms outstretched. "I am so glad," she said "that you are feeling better this morning." "I did not say so, my dear," I answered. "No, font you look it," was her comment.

We should drink, before breakfast, a 'glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush fdom the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before eating more food.

It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a fine appetite for breakfast.
