Rest IS the great restOrer. We tire
our muscles by exercise and then rest
to restore them; vet great many of
Us do not stop TO think how little
rest we give TO our stOmachs. As a
usual thing no part of our bodies Is so
generally overworked as our digestive
organs. A tired and overworked

just a warning, and if we heed the
