PEELED the silly notion that one
kind Of food is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
Will not only nourish a particular
part Of the body, but it will sus-
tain every other part. Yet, how
ever good yonr food may be, its
nutriment Is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. Nou must
