THE U. S, STANDARD.
No Man Is Stronger Than
His Stomach.

The man who seeks to enlist in the
q. 5. Army must be physically sound,
There is minimum standard of height
and men under that standard, no matter
how healthy, will not be accepted. But
aside from height the requirement is a
sound physical condition, and this con-
dition depends in chief upon the health
of the stomach and its allied organs Of
digestion and nutrition. Many man
has been rejected by the medical ex-
aminer who appeared externally to
possess all the physical requirements Of
good soldier. But the examiner looks
below the surface. He knows when the
stomach is weak, and he knows also that
no man is stronger than his stomach.
Most people look upon indigestion as
a discomfort rather than a disease, But

IN reality indigestion or dyspepsia is the
disease of all diseases. Ii makes other
diseases possible. 1t involves the blood
and the heart, lungs, liver Kidneys
every organ Of the body.
WEAK STOMACH WEAK MAN.
That a oweals stomach causes gem
eral physical weakness may easily be
understood. Food is the staff Of life.
The source of all physical strength is
food. But before the body can receive
strength from what IS eaten the food
must be digested and asSimilated. To
convert the food eaten into nutrition is
the Office of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition. When
the stomach is "weak the food received
into it is only partly digested and as
simulated the body loses its proper sup
ply of nutrition and grows proportion
ately weak. The capacity of the stomach
in its normal health and use equals the
nutritiye demands Of the body. State
that normal capacity as equal to 100.
When the stomach is"weak" its capacity
is reduced proportionately. 1t may be
that ten or twenty per cent. Of the 1utu-
tive values of the food eaten are lost or
wasted. That ten or twenty per cent. OF
lost nutrition must then represent ten
or twenty per cent. loss of physical
strength.
WHERE STRENGTH COMES FROM.
Physical strength comes from food and
from food alone. If a man has enough
TO eat and eats enough, there's no reason
why he should not have a perfectly
nourished and healthy body. If he is
not well nourished, il be is losing weight,
then the stomach is weak or diseased.
