the poisonous material that results
from imperfect digestion

digestable sort. part of it lies in the
stomach and ferments. producing gas
and bacteria
These bacteria (microbes) then
manufacture more or less poison which
Is absorbed into the blood along with
what little food is already digested.
and the result is q bad headache, ir-
rftabiIity, dullness of intellect and lack
OF energy
