there is something wrong. The waste

only question of time when the end
must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble
is with the digestive organs. If you
can restore them to a healthy con-
dition you will stop the waste, put on
new flesh and cause them to feel bet

will be digested and appropriated to
the needs of the system, and a nor
