A Nebraska editor visited a village
school teacher and was greatly i'm
pressed with the school ma'am. On
reaching his sanctum he penned the
following on her: she is the pride of
the town, the star of the west the
mother OF invention and a jewel OF rare
brilliancy. She drew picture of an
iceberg on the blackboard. II was so
natural that the thermometer froze up
solid. With rare presence of mind she
seized a crayon and drew a fireplace on
the opposite wall. The prompt action
saved the school, but they all caught
cold from the sudden change"

When the appetite fails there is no use in
trying TO tempt the palate with delicate food
No matter how good and well-cooked and
appetizing the food may be, il cannot
give any nourishment unless the stomach is
able to digest it. Nature indicates the state

This is an unfailing indicator II shows
that something is fundamentally wrong
with the nutritive functions.
The only true natural relief must be as
searching and fundamental as the trouble il
