Every living thing, plant or animal, cen

In the human body these germs Of disease

Bad digestion irrltates the heart. causing

Of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys. caus-
ing Brlghrs disease and diabetes
And this is SO because every organ every

The great English scientist Huxley. said

Weak stonachs fail to digest food properly:
because they lack the proper quantity OF
