The Result OF Imperfect Digestion 81
Food.
Every living thing. plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs Of
certain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines). are usually the result of
imperfect digestion Of food; the re
suit of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach. from abuse. weak
ness, does not promptly and thorough
lv digest the food. The result i a
heavy, soddeu mass which ferments
(the first process Of decay) poisoning
the blood making it thin. veal, and
lacking in red corpsucles: poisoning
the brain. causing headache and pain
in the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and bringing on
disease Of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisonS the Kidneys.
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this i so because every organ.
every nerve depends upon the
stomach alone for nourishment and
renewal. and weak digestion shows
itself not only in loss OF appetite and
