good politics and very sound judgement

NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the grea est athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verified into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels 1t depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimiated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs Of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan of the body. If the stomach is "weak"
the body will be weak also, because 1t Is
upon the stomach the body relies for It's
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up of its several MEM
bers and organs, so the weakness Of the
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it is ill-nourlshed
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness, loss OF appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.
