To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddie, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to prevent its sponge-like pores from, clogging with indigestible material, bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted sician.

If you get headaches, It's your liver. If you catch. cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanliness.

Your liver: in the most important, also the most abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed- -up body waste, bile and toxins. folks resort to violent calomel, which in a dangerous, salivating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it. accumulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones. Every.

man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning before breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful- of limestone phosphate in It. to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food infl the stomach. Limestone phosphate does not strict the diet like calomel, because it cannot salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It 18 inexpensive and almost tasteless, and, any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how lot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day in and day cut.
