REMARKABLE EXPERIMENTS
And STUDIES ON The STOMACH.
How To Eat Properly.
BY DIR. VALENTINE.

Not long ago Horace Fletcher pub
lshed book called The A, b, u, of Our
Own Nutrition" in which he advocated,
TDo right the feeding of your body;
Nature will do ali the rest for you
Alright" After a dozen years Of uninter-
rupted experiments upon himself and
upon dogs, cats and otner animals, Mr..
Horace Fletcher concludes that the aver
age human being eats three times as much
as is good for him that by eating only
even more thoroughly than by Glad
stones famous thirty-two bites OF each
mouthful, a person is assured OF unfailing
health, strength, contentment and lon
gevty. In word, he will have annihil-
ated the chief cause of all disease-indi-
gestion. Mr.. Fletcher conducted expert
ments at Yale and Cambridge Universi-
ties and made tests under the auspices
OF the United States Army. As a result
of his experiments he advocates that
people should ignore false appetite and
walt for return OF normal appetite,
which is indicated by a desire for some
particular simple food, accompanied by
watering of the mouth-all OF which is
good advice, but a great many Ameri-
cans, both men and women, are thin. pale
and puny, with pool, circulation, because
they have already ill-treated their stom-
achs by hasty eating or too much eating,
by consuming alcoholic beverages, or by
too close confinement to home, office or
factory, and in consequence the stomach
must be treated in natural way before
they can rectify their earlier mistakes.
The muscles in many such people, in
every weary, thin and thtn-blOOded per-
son, do their work with great difficulty.
As a result fatigue comes early, Is eX-
IRENE and lasts long. The demand for
nutritive aid is ahead OF the supply. To
insure perfect health every tissue, bone,
nerve, tendon or muscle should take
from the blood certain materials and
return to it certain others. 1t Is neces-

There were certain roots known TO the
