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 medi-
cal writer says every feeling, eni,-
ton and affection reports at the
stomach Through the system OF
nerves.. and the stomach is affected
accordingly. 1t is the vital center
OF the body :" He COLI
TIMES, so we may be said to live
by land 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
the function OF digestion in its se>-
eral stages is to prepare the food in
forms which are suitable to be add
ed to the structure" meaning the
structure of Our bodies. He con-
tinues: Every physical action, from
simple breathing, thinking and c'r-
culating OF the blood to the most
active. bodily exertion, wears out
portions of the structure tot "It
bodies), and they become dead, and
so require to be taken away speed
ilv. Much of the food which we
take, and especially when unwhole-
some 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 circulat-
ing system. He says 1T gives ITS
message every moment TO the in
finite number of glands and follicles
to unload themselves of waste ma
terial so that the current of blood
may carry it away"
When these two processes OF
nutrition and excretion are thus
carried on with equal assiduity we
are in health, but when this equilib
rum does not exist there comes dis
order and disease. The common
form of such arrangement is indl-
gestion or dyspepsia. The function
OF nutrition is interrupted and all
the operations which depend upon it
go wrong. Under these conditions
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 involved, and we NAV find con-
sumption, kidney complaint, hepatic
(liver) disorders, hysteria and even
mental alienation (derangement).'
He says 1T may be observed that
deranged persons have a woe-be-
gone expression, offensive breath.
irregular action OF the bowels, hal
fluctuations and other like conditions
OF dyspepsia
The foregoing is no doubt IA
tional view OF the sad havoc worked
in the human system by indigestion
and dyspepsia, torpid liver and kin
dred arrangements, which are gen
orally associated with or followed
by many other diseases of diverse
appearance, but all depending upon
the weak and disordered stomach.
Cure the stomach weakness and you
cure all these diseases and derange-
ments.
For weak stomachS and the con-
scquent indigestion or dyspepsia,
and the multitude of various dis
eases which result therefrom, no
medicine can be better suited as
curative agent than DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Man
drake root and Black Cherrybark
are all recommended by such emil
nent authorities as DR.. Bartholow
