You must do something for your stom-
ach, what does he do? He just stops
and gets something in the tablet form
which dulls his pain and permits him to
Keep at work, but which does not oppose
a straw in the way of the disease. Thus
the undermining process goes on until the
collapse comes, with its shock to the
family and surprise to the friends.
THE WARNINGS.
The first necessity of every man is to
heed the warnings Nature gives, that
this undermining process is going on in
his system. A stomach weakened by
abuse, gorged with over-eating or over
burdened with hot bread, too rich or
/ greasy foods, or those too highly season
! ed, becomes weakened and fails to thor
oughly digest the food. A heavy sod
den mass is accumulated in the stomach
to ferment as the first step in its decay,
giving off foul gases to distend the stom-
ach and poison the blood, until il becomes
thin, weak and lacking in the red cor
puscles so necessary to perfect health.
| The overdistended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also
disturbed through sympathy, the same
system of nerves being distributed to both
organs. Thus paiptation and irregular ac-
ton of the heart, with its attendant
shortness of breath, result, and in time,
disease of the heart itself is established.
The gases and other poisons generated
| from undigested, fermenting and decay
| ing food in the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Being absorbed into the blood, these
poisons reach every part and organ of
the system. The Kidneys are thereby
poisoned, causing Brights disease and
diabetes Filtering through the skin,
troublesome skin diseases often show
themselves. .
AS every organ and every nerve depend
| for their nourishment and renewal upon
the stomach, weak digestion shows itself
not alone in loss of appetite and hesh
but also in nervousness, debility, bad COM
! plexion and many other arrangements.
| Some people know where the trouble is,
! They locate it in the stomach, because
/ they have pain there after eating, an ir-
regular craving for food, or an appetite
that eating does not satisfy. There is
due fullness Perhaps the stomach sours,
and there are bitter risings and belchings.
| These symptoms mark various forms and
stages of weak stomach" They will not
/ all be present in every case or in the
earlier stages of the disease. Any one of
these symptoms locates the trouble in the
stomach and the digestive and nutritive
| functions, which are disturbed.
The only way to properly heed these
warnings is at once to
JOIN HANDS WITH NATURE
FORCES
in an intelligent and persistent effort to
restore the health to its normal condition.
| This cannot be done by treating diseases
|
| fundamental trouble The heart palpi-
| tates, but it is of no use to treat the
heart while the diseased stomach causing
the palpitation goes unheeded and UNI
| helped. The nerves Jingle and twitch with
pain But it's no use to take bromide
! preparations to quiet the nerves, drug
| ging them into drowsiness as crying chill
dren are sometimes drugged What the
crying child generally needs is food The
nerves cry also because of hunger You
| can only stop the cutlery of the nerves by
| feeding them, and that must be done
| through the stomach. In thousands and
thousands OF cases It has been shown
! that when the stomach, together with
its allied organs of digestion and nutri-
! ton are put into a sound condition of
| health, the health Of the whole body is at
once restored. Strength comes back; the
color returns TO the check, the sparkle
TO the eye, the spring to the step There's
real interest in life, real pleasure in bust
ness, real comfort in home. The nerves
are uiet. They laugh sometimes, but they
never cry. The heart works steadily and
noiselessiy like some perfectly governed
unohtrusiyeiy; The kidneys do days
work every day in altering out the i'm
| puritieg which would clog the circula-
tions the lungs are actively healthy-in
| prlet the whole body In all It's parts
works together to carry on the perfect
scheme Of physical being
WHAT TO DO
Now comes the question, How can this
! ideal condition Of health be attainedY"
No one Is better fitted to answers that
| question than one who has been cured
Of disease and been uplifted into a con-
dltion OF sound health. Such a one is
