IMPROVED MEMORY
And Increased Weight From Eating
Proper Food.

The memory and other important funo
tions OF the brain are greatly influenced
by the condition Of the digestive organs
This may seem strange to persons whd
DO not stop to realize that every new
cell in the brain is made up from thu
food that IS taken into the stomach. be-
cause every thought wastes cells which
have TO be replaced by others.
When the proper food Is used and fully
digested. so there's no fermentation and
poisonous waste manufactured in tbs
body. and the new cells are built in ~
fast as used UP. the brain becomes clear
and memory is sure TO be improved.
