The majority OF those who arr suf-
fcring from slccplessness have dilatcd
stomachs which affect the sympathetic
ncrvcus system. This controls the
blood vessels of the body, and when

the blood vessels of the brain aud other
parts become relaxed. and the brain
continues active when Il should bc

stomach can not empty itself properly
nor absorb readily. and 50 the food
taken In Is attacked by millions 81
microbes, generating poisons which ir.
ritatc the brain. These poiSons are
closely allied to the theme of tea. aud

precaution is 20 drink large quantity |
