THE “NEWEST MIRACLE OF MODERN SCIENCE
THE most important thing in life is health. We cannot con
tinue to live healthfully unless we live with some respect
< , to the laws of nature. Life is-but cellular buildiny and odlu
. lar elimination. This loet'element of water is Radio-activity,
which both creates' cellular energy end removes cellular poisons.
- Bir Arbothnot Lane, the great English physician, says “Most
diseases are directly traceable to bad drainage in the body”—to
'the accumulation of dogging waste matter or poisons at vital
organs.
’ For centuries, the world has recognized the value of health
springs, and medical officers now attribnt the value of the fam
ous- springs to the natural radio-activity of'-their waters. This
radio-activity is one of ndfure’s ways of dissolving and elimin
ating these health-destroying poisons and building healthy veils
and tissues.
*" It is Mur possiblefor- every one, ■ sick or well, to have perpetu
ally, and at reasonable cost, the splendid benefits of a genuine
radio-active health spring in the home through this invention—
