Wrong Idea.

Don't get the wrong idea into your head
that starvation is good. for Dyspepsia.
It's not.
Those who have not studied the subject
very deeply, or with trained scientific
minds, might think SO.
But facts prove otherwise.
All specialists in stomach and digestive
disorders know that it is best for dyspep-
STA to be we'll fed.
Why. dyspepsia is really a starvation
disease.
Your food doesn't feed you.
By starvation, you may give your
bowels and kidneys less to do, but that
does not cure your digestive TROUBLESOME
ply makes you weaker and sicker; less
likely to be permanently cured than ever
No. the only right way to permanently
cure yourself of any form of dyspepsia or
indigestive trouble, is to eat heartily of
all the food that you find best agrees with
you and help your digestion to work with
