GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfect Digestion
of Food.

Every living thing, plant, or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs of certain
decay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death (called by scientists Pto-
mainesl, are usually the result of imper-
feet digestion of food; the result of indi-
gestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food The result is heavy, sOdden mass
which ferments (the first process of
decay poisoning the blood, making it thin,
weak, and lacking in red corpGscles; pois-
oning the brain, causing headaches and
pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, caus-
ing palpitation, and finally bringing on
disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
Ard this is SO because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for rourishment and renewal and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
