THEY ACTUALLY DO TIE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
gested-Some Stomach Must
Have Help.


Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
clifton Of the stomach, is not digested,
is worse thar no food at all. This is
q true statement as far as il goes, and
a great many dyspeptics go only this far
with their reasoning They argue with
themselves that because their stOmaChs
do not do the work given them. they
must be given less work; in other
words, they must be stared. III would
be just as sensible for "A business man
who is unable 10 do all his OWL work
10 cut down his business to his own
capacity as it is for a man 20 starve
himself TO relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
