C. 1 1 Headache of any kind, is caused by autointoxication which, means self poisoning. Live: and bowel poisons called toxins, sucKed into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast 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 nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, 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, purify 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 most tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. . If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste-, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos phated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons. Results are quick and it is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache oi know a miserable moment.
