The celebrated DR.. Abernethy OF
London was firmly of the opinion that
disorders of the stomach were the most
prolific source of human ailments in
general. A recent medical writer says
"every feeling, emotion and affection
reports at the stomach Through the
system of nerves) and the stomach is
affected accordingly. It is the vital
center of the body y He
continues, vso we may be said to live
by (and he might well have said through
the stomach He goes on to show that
the stomach is the vital center of the
body. He says vthe function of di-
gestion in its several stages is to pre-
pare the food in forms which are suita-
able to be added to the structure"
meaning the structure of our bodies.
He continues, vevery physical action
from simple. breathing, thinking and
circulating of the blood to the most
active bodily exertion wears out por-
tions OF the structure (of our bodies
and they become dead and so require
to be taken away speedily. Much of
the food which we take, and especially
when unwholesome or in excess, adds
to the waste material, and when it has
undergone chemical changes it is still
more mischievous." Then he goes on
to the effect that the nervous system
prompts every part of the circulating
system. He says "it gives it's message
every moment to the intimate number
of glands and follicles to unload them
selves of waste material so that the
current of blood may carry it away"
"When these two processes of nutri-
ton and excretion are thus carried on
with equal assiduity we are in health,
| but when this equilibrium does not
exist there comes disorder and disease.
The common form of such derange-
ment is indigestion or dyspepsia. The
| function of nutrition is interrupted
and all the operations aoKich depend
upon 1t go ano1,g. Under these condi-
;tions it has: a way of appearing in
other types Of disorder. Many Of these
often mislead physicians. Other parts
of the organism are likely to be in
kidney complaint, hepatic Qiver) dis
orders, hysteria and even mental
alienation. (derangement)." He says
m it may be observed that deranged

like conditions OF dyspepsia"
The foregoing is no doubt a rational
view of the sad havoc worked in the
human system by indigestion and dys-
pepsia, torpid liver and kindred de.
fangements, which are generally asso.
ciated with or followed by many other
diseases Of diverse appearance, but ali
depending upon the aoeak and dis.
ordered stomach. Cure the stomach
