THE POST DISCOVERY

Previous to the discovery Of the Post

wheat and barley into n form OF sugar,
many people suffered from what is known
as starch Indigestion.
That was shown By gas ana all sorts Of
stomach and bowel trouble. sometimes
ending in appendicitis) brought on by
the undigested starch In wheat. oats,
white bread. cake, puddings, etc.
Nature ultimate Furnishes anyone who
continually takes some medicine or drug
to smooth over or nullify bad conditions
OF the body. The only safe way TO cure
such is TO correct or remove the cause.
Therefore it was plain to Mr.. Post. in
working out his discovery, that people
who show some weakness I'm digesting
the starchy part Of food (Which is much
the largest part OF all we eaD must be
helped by having the starch dgested
or transformed before being eaten And
OF course the safest and truest way TO
do this would be to initiate nature and
avoid all chemicals or outside and un-
natural things. The body digests the
starchy food by the following process:
First IL IL mixed with the moisture or
Juices OF the mouth and stomach. then
warmth or mild heat from the body
grows or develops diastase from the grain.
Time is also an important element and
