Artificial Digestion.

about other medicines that actually per-
form the act Of digestion. The venders
of these latter medicines say that dose
Of their stuff will digest any food that
may be taken into the stomach.
We have seen two bottles exhibited
somewhere. One bottle full Of indIgest
ible stuff, such as raw turnip, chunks OF
the meat OF the cocoanut, doughy bread
end the like. In the other bottle was
clear fluid. The declaration was made
underneath the bottles that few grains
of some medicine had dissolved these in
digestible foods in the first bottle into
the clear fluid OF the second bottle.
We have seen it advertised somewhere
stating: What's the use OF being
particular about what you eatY What's
the use of it when you can get our med
icine which will digest any thingY
You may eat rich pastry ifyou like.
You IN eat late suppers il YOU wish.
You have no need TO pay any attention
to dietary rules or be squeamish about
indigestible foods
You may eat anything you want to ii
you will take our. tablets or powders
or digesting fluids You can digest
any thing.
All such statements are deliberate lies,
or else gross exhibition OF ignorance
There arc no medicines that will digest
| the food in the stomach.
There are no medicines that can take
the place OF eating properly
There are no medicines thst can divert
indgestible foods into heal hful whole
, some fluids. All such statements are
false. They are made to secure the sale
of some worthless trash. The medicine
man whe would make such n statement
| is either fraud or an ignoramus. He
either knows he is lying or else he Is so
stupid that he lies without knowing it.
The only way to have good digestion
is to learn the peculiarities OF your own
stomach and be obedient to those pecu
liarities II a certain article OF food is
found to disagree. don't eat it, lfa

But whatever may oe the trouble with
any mans digestion you can be sure OF
this much at least, that nothiug but

Uric acid poisoning is responsible for
large group OF chronic diseases that al.
flict humanity. The urates accumulate
in the blood as consequence of unused
nutrition. These people are assimila ing
more nitrogonous foods than their bodily
activities demand. AS a consequence,
the blood is contaminated by unusual
nutritive materials and delritus or waste
materials. This constitutes what is
known as uric acid poisen.
The group OF diseases which are
brought on and continued by uric acid
poisoning are headache, epilepsy hypo.
choudria, facial neuralgia, asthma, neu-
ralgia OF the heart, dropsy and obesity.
| This group of diseases is known as the
uric acid diseases, and indicatea high

is the principal, if not the only, relief for
these patients. Having large number
OF them unde- his care where he can reg.
ulate their diet, he is in the habit of Civ
ing each patient twenty one ounces OF
breadstuts, and seven ounces of dried
fruit, daily. This amount s considered
sufficient for person of l40 pounds
weight. just ordinary whole wheat
bread, and stewed dried fruit. The fruit
should be simply prepared
Our judgment in this matter is that
this diet is altogether too riged, although
it is good enough as far as it goes The
fruit need not necessarily be dried al
though it ls more convenient for the

certain seasons of the year. We presume
that dried fruit was selected because the
experiments were tried in public insti.
tuition where dried fruit would be the
easiest TO obtain.
But this great mans experience ought
to be accepted as presenting something
of practical value in the matter. A plain
diet, consisting largely of fruit, to which
bread and butter may be added, should
always be strictly adhered to by people
suffering from any one OF the above
diseases. Medical World,
