PERFECT DIGESTION
HOW TO OBTAIN 1T.

There is not man or woman whose
digestive organs are in perfect condition
that ever suffers from impoverished
blood, loss OF flesh, shattered nerves,
Indigestion, sour stomach, or flatulency
and there IL not a person living who
is troubled with these disorders that
ever received any permanent benefit
from taking drugs TO rectify these condi'
tions.
When the digestive organs are in per
feet condition they extract from the food
all that goes 20 make blood, muscle, flesh
and good health, and unless they are in
perfect condition, they cannot accom-
plish this work. Drugs cannot and will
not digest food They only decompose
il. TO be sure, in this way they often
afford temporary relief % the irritated
stomach and bowels, but the patient re-
ceives no nOurishment from such food
and the digestive organs no benefit from
such treatments.
No human being has as yet been able
10 duplicate the work OF our Maker.
Consequently, all treatments which have
for their object the digestion Of food, are
failures and always will be. Nothing
but the restoration Of these organs %
their normal condition can or will per
manently cure disorders which arise
from the stomach and bowels.
Up 10 the present time, Mona, the
new cure for diseases Of the digestive
organs, is the only one which does not
act on the food ut all, but upon the mem
brane lining the digestive organs them
selves
