THE BRATTLEBORO DAILY REFORMER. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER. 7. 1016.'
SAYS WE BECOME
CRANKS Ofl HOT
WATER DRINKING
f HopM tvry man and woman adopts
" ' tali "splendid morning
li,. habit.
"Wky ia man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent, wor
ried; some days headachy, dull and un
strung; some days really incapacitated
. by illness? '
If we all would practice the drinking
of phosphated hot water before break
fast, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands, of
half sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
nee crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that -the human system does not
rid itstdf each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys
tem nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons in
the bowels which are absorbed into the
blood.
Just as necessary ns it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
Lot, so we must each morning clear the
inside organs of the previous day s ac
cumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a glass
tf real hot water with a teaspoonful
ef limestone phosphate in it, as
harmless means of washing out of
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the indigestible material, waste, sour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
fuing and purifying the entire alimen
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights .have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to any
one, its eleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system.

"Bank"
It's not an easy thing to deflte thia word ' bank." For th word
lias meant adtiU means so many different things. In the beginning
it had only one meaning, namely a heap or pile or accumulation like
a sand bank or bank of earth. And' to many people this is the meaning
that suggests itself still." They think of a bank as an accumulation of
money. t" '
In colonial times the word gained a new meaning. To our colonial
forbears, 'bank" meant a batch or issue of paper money. A mew
'bank' was a new series of paper money. But it didn't take long for
the name to shift from the money to the association which issued It.
A' bank then meant an association whose chief business was the is
suing of notes to circulte as money, and the phrase "banking privi
leges" meant the power to issue such notes. ' ;
At the present time a bank is not necessarily a note issuing com
pany or association. And the issue of notes or bills to circulate as mon
ey is decreasing in importance as a part of the banking business. A
"bank" in the modern sense is a maker of credit and a means of fa
cilitating exchange. Perhaps this sounds rather far removed from Brat
tleboro and THE VERMONT NATIONAL BANK. But we shall attempt
to show in future articles of this series how it applies to us no less
than to the great banks of New York and Europe.
