Theory and Practice of q New Remedy
for the Ills OF Indigestion.
This is one of the towns that has been
violently attacked by the Go-Without-
Observation-Disclosures. The idea il not Of
recent origin but the gradual :eyelo,,-
ment of method evolved by the expert
ence Of thirty years of practice of Il
regular physician of high standing in
the state of Pennsylvania. Within the
last eight years the idea has spread rap
idly, and tatistics show that 1.O0O.NW
persons have tested and become satisfied
Of it's physiological benefits. 80 its devo

Indigestion is the ause Of many all
ments. Headaches, insomnia. eczema
asthma, rheumat ism. malaria and merry
GUS prOstration are some of them. which
it is claimed can be prevented. cured or
relieved by going without breakfast at
the time that meal is usually served
The simple theory of the cure is az fol-
lows: During sleep the muscles of the
stomach are resting. Gastric juice, that
Indispensable element for digestion. is
not supplied then. nor il 4 sufficient
quantity ated in the stomach to d.
gest meal until nearly noon. or, rather,
not until three or four hours after rising
If breakfast is eaten it il merely rollt1
around the stomach. Consequently the
stomach ferments and produces material
for discomfort in mind and body. Ma
ture supplies only enough pepsin during

suits of this treatment are claimed to be
these: Your normal weight will be
gained: Overfat people will lose their OPP
pressive pounds. and the lean will take
on good flesh. The brain will be clearer,
the nerves steadier. the muscles stronger
and the spirits brighter. Brain work
ers and physical toilers will find that
they have uniformity of ability for az

not need money or time. only some reso-
luton and courage to break up habit

hungry at breakfast time. If some in
convenience is experienced at first the
feeling is simply the "dying agonics Of
bad habit" Before condemning it, give
the cure trial during a month. After
one week and sometimes sooner. its fol-
lowers will feel themselves in better con
dition for all kinds of work
In towns and communities which have
been struck by the cure whole households
have abandoned the old style of break
fast as soon as the family is dressed
and the Go-Without- i our Breakf fast cure
is declared TO be the solution of the diet
problem. At any rate. this is what Is
