STRENGTH AND THE STOMACH.
No man can be strong when the stom-

nutrition. This nutrition is supplied by
food which must be properly digested
before it can be assimilated When the
stomach and the other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition are diseased, the food
eaten is imperfectly digested, and there
is a reduction of the nutrition necessary
