The human stomach is an elongated
curved pouch, holding, on an average,
about five pints. 1t has strong muscu-
lar walls and an inner muscular coat,
which Is capable of motion. The organ
is lined with mucous membrane-the
same membrane that lines the mouth,
nose, throat and bowels. The mem
brane Is thickly dotted with little pits
(see e in the cuD. These are the
mouths of minute tubes that have di-
rect connection with the blood vessels
OF the stomach. Through them come
the gastric juices that digest food.
When food enters a healthy stomach
the muscular walls contract ON it and
knead, roll and mix it. The food is kept
moving so that every portion will come
in contact with the gastric juices pour
ing out of the little tubes. These
fluids soften and dissolve what we eat,
and thus prepare it for absorption
The nutrition of the body depends en-
tirely on perfect digestion, and perfect
digestion depends largely on the rapid
secretion Of an abundant quantity of
healthy gastric Juice If the stomach is
to do it's work thoroughly, it must have

DR.. Frank Woodbury., A. M, NJ D.,
says in his recent treatise on Dyspep-
STA: "One of the most common causes
Of digestive disorder is inflammation
of the stomach accompanied by excess

Is usually termed gastric catarrh."

partly or wholly cltses them thus stops
ping the free flow OF digestive fluids.
The mucus, secreted as a result of the
inflammation, fills the mouths of the
little tubes and still further impedes
the flow, and worse still, it mixes with
the scanty supply and thus dilutes and
alters it.
Science now says that II the stomach
is all right all the organs will be
right, because 1t Is impossible for them
to stay out of order long when the stom-
ach does its duty. A weakened organ Is
simply an organ out Of repair and it
will not stay out of repair If the diges-
ton is right The sober, common sense
judgment of every one probably tells
them that IL they could eat heartily Of
nutritious food and then perfectly d.
gest it, they would get strong and well.
When your health suffers think OF
your digestion. IT that is faulty there
probably lies the whole cause of trou-
BILE. One thing Is certain, no perma-
nent relief can be looked for until the
stomach is made right If you find
remedy that will give you sound di-
gestion, you will not have to do any
thing else Nature will do the rest.
Modern research shows that an effec-
tive stomach remedy must do these
things:
1T must strengthen the muscular
walls of the stomach, giving them,the
power of contraction necessary for the
proper kneading and mixing of the
food. 1t must reduce all Inflammation
and stop the secretion of mucus so that
there may be free flow of gastric juice.
1t should also stimulate the secretion
of digestive fluids so that at all times
there will be an adequate supply for
the prompt digestion of food.
Thousands of people are saying that
Puritana. DR.. Dixi Crosby's great for
mula, is just such remedy. 1t relieves
catarrhal conditions of the stomach in
twenty-four hours; causes an abund-
ant secretion of gastric Juice, and thus
hastens the digestion and absorption Of
food. AS result all the organs receive
proper nutrition and the patient Is not
only relieved of stomach troubles, but
"cured from head to foot"

Spring Medicine.
just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
mes and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes uT
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
