human ostrich, in the character OFT
your diet, and the risk Of life in-I
volVed
1t is not necessary that you eat glass;
and nails in order to resemble this
monstrosity. The man who plays the
part of the human ostrich is an eX-
ample of depraved appetite in its most
extreme and exaggerated form. The
depraved appetite of the average cam
didate for dyspepsia does not go far
ther than hot bread and biscuit, rich
pastries, highly seasoned dishes, and
excessively greasy foods. Add to this
improper cooking, haste in eating, and
lack of proper rest after meal, and
you have a condition very likely to re-
suit in disease and suffering.
Let it be remembered that the sole
object of food is nutrition; nutrition
not for the body as a whole only, but
nutrition for the varying needs of the
separate parts of the body; for the
muscles, the nerves, the brain, the
blood. When the stomach is in state
Of healthy activity, Nature, by her re-
markable processes, takes the food you
supply, and distributes it's starches
and sugars, it's salts and phosphates
according to the needs of the separate
organs of the body. When the stom-
ach is not in a state of healthy activ-
ity. Nature does her best, but the va
rious dependent organs of the body
are put on short rations. There is not
nourishment enough to supply them
properly.
WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
A weakened stomach. A stomach in
capable of performing it's functions
fully. The liver and blood making
glands work imperfectly. The natural
| result is that the food is imperfectly
| digested and only partly assimilated
and the channels of life are choked
| and stopped by waste and putrescent
matter. Some people know where the
| trouble is. They locate it in the stom-
| ach, because they have pain there after
| eating, an irregular craving for food,
or an appetite that eating does not
\ satisfy. There is heaviness after a
meal, feeling of undue fullness. 1t is
hard to breathe. there is such a stuffy
feeling about the chest. There may be
palpitation or irregular action of the
heart and the sufferer imagines he has
heart disease. Perhaps the stomach
sours, and there are bitter risings and
belchings. These symptoms mark va
rious forms and stages of weak stom-
ach." They will not all be present in
every case or in the earlier stages OF
the disease. Any one of these symp-
toms locates the trouble in the stom-
ach and the digestive and nutritive
functions, which are disturbed.
Quite often there is no apparent con-
nection between the stomach and the
symptoms of the disease. The victim
thinks 1t oliver trouble" heart fail
ure, or lung disease. There is a dull
pain, perhaps in the back or the side
The spine aches, sometimes 'in spots
and sometimes through its whole
length. There may be a sharp stitch
or pain occasionally. Exercise makes
the limbs tremble and the heart beat
violently. Perhaps to some of these
symptoms there is added an obstinate
stubborn cough.
WHAT is THE MATTER NOW?
1t is another case OF weak stomach
But, that is not where the pain is
| Very likely not. But that Is where the
trouble is. The stomach has not beer

pendent upon il. They are starving
they are weak. and they show theil
