TT VERY serious Sickness has E small beginning.
 N And, in nine cases out of A7 ten that small beginning is made in the Bowels.
 Indigestion is the beginning of most diseases.
 It paves the way for all others.
 Lack of exercise, hasty eating, improper food, are its first causes.
 Laziness, and postponement, permits it to grow into Chronic Constipation, which means lifelong Discomfort. ---. It isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you know. in order to be mighty uncom- fortable.
 Even slight indigestion affects the nerves, dulls the mind, and obscureS the merry sunshine of Life.
 And, Indigestion once started, grows fast, corrodes temperament, and discounts happiness. good cheer, capacity.
 It does that long before it puts you on the Sick list.
 Every thinking Doctor knows why. =
 Professor Rand knew it.
 That's why he framed up for students his famous formula for Happiness, viz: Trust in God, and keep your Bowels open"
 The Bowels need adjustment from time to time, just like a clock, or watch.
 No Good time is humanly possible without this.
 And, the time to adjust inc watch is not when 1t has run down, nor when the main spring Is broken but at inc very minute adjustments discovered necessary.
 The time to adjust the Bowels Is not merely when your Head Aches, when your Liver Is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt, and Natures Food Process retarded for "A hours or longer.
 The proper time to adjust them is the very minute you suspect they need adjust msnt.
