We do not live on what we eat but
on what we digest, assimilate, and take
up in the blood. The blood in turn
feeds the nerves, the heart, and the
whole system, and all goes well with us
if the blood be kept pure and rich. IL
not, then the liver, which is the human
filter within us, gets clogged up and
poisons accumulate in the body from
~over-eating, overwhelming, or hurriedly
doing both. The smash up occurs
when the blood is poisoned by the
stomach and liver being unable to take
care of the ouer-lodd! The red flag OF
danger is thrown out in the shape of
eruptions on the skin, or in nervous
ness and sleeplessness, the sufferer be-
coming blue, Respondent and irritable,
because the nerves lack nourishment
and are starred.
Natures laws are perfect il only we
obey them, but disease follows dis
obedience. Go straight to Nature for
the cure, to the forest; there are mys-

fathom for you. Take the bark of the
Wild-cherry tree, with Mandrake root,
Stone root, Queens root, Bloodroot
and Golden Seal root, make a scien-
