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 medl-
cal writer says every feeling, emo
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 continues,
so we may be said to live by land
he might we'll 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 several stages is to
prepare the food in forms which are
suitable to be added to the struc-
ture," meaning the structure of Our
bodies. He continues, every physi-
cal action from simple breathing,
thinking and circulating OF the blood
to the most active bodily exertlon
wears out portions 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
unwholesone 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 ner-
vous system prompts every part OF
the circulating system. He says 1t
gives its message every moment to
the intimate number of glands and
follicles to unload themselves OF
waste material so that the current
of blood may carry it away.
when these two processes OF NIL
triton and excretion are thus car
ried 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 arrangement is indigestion or
dyspepsia. The function of nutri-
ton is interrupted and all the opera
tons which depend upon it go
wrong. Under these conditions it
has 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 may find con-
sumption, kidney complaint, hepatic
Qiver) disorders, hysteria and even
mental alienation arrangement"
He says it may be observed that
deranged persons have woe-be-
gone expression, offensive breath,
irregular action OF the bowels, hal
fluctuations and other like conditions
Of dyspepsia
The foregoing is no doubt ra-
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 ap-
pearance, 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-
sequent indigestion or dyspepsia,
and the multitude of various dis
eases which result therefrom, no
medicine can be better suited as a
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 emf
nent authorities as DR.. Bartholow
of Jefferson Medical College, Prof.
John King, author of the "Ameri-
can Dispensatory;" Prof. John M.
Scudder, late of Cincinnati; DR.. VIII
