How Good Food may
Turn to Poison.

IN EcAYi net digestion, you know.
even when it takes place in the
lO stomach.
Food decayed in the body
after being eaten is as dangerous 10 health
as food decsycd before Being eaten.
Food nourishes or poisons, just accord
ing to how long it remains IN the Bowels
undigosted.
Most of the Digestion occurs IN the
thirty feet % intestines.
They are lined with set Of little
mouths. that squeeze Digestive Juices into
the Food eaten.
The lnstostines are also lined with ri!ions
Of little suction pumps. that draw the Nutrl-
meni from Food. as il passes them IN going
through.
But, when the Bowel-Musolcs are weak,
the Food moves too slowly to stimulate
the little Gastric Mouths and there is o
flew or too little flow of Digestive Juice.
to change the food iEto nourishment.
Then, the food decays in the Bowels,
and the little suction pumps draw Poison
from the decayed Food. into the blood, in
stead Of the Nutrition they should have
drawn.

bination Of drugs that Stimulates these
