Common sense would suggest that II

and digest and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food, Hike
eggs, 'heefsteak and cereals; IN other
words the kinds OF food that make flesh
are the foods which form the greater
part Of our daily bill Of fare
But the trouble IL that while we ear
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork
does. not properly digest and assmilate
1t, which is the reason SO many peorde
remain thin and under weight; the di-
gestive organs do not completely digest
the flesh forming beefsteak aud
eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands OF such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics although
they have no particular pain or incon-
