YOU'RETOO THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal De>areem<nks
Of tie Stoma1h Produce Arid Fer
m<ntatio1 Of TIE Food
It's Stomach Clzta17k

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperainental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to Grange this personal
popularity.
But there are large number Of poo
pie who set thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipOse tissue.
Adipose tissue IL chiefly composed Of
fat.
Fat II derived from the oily constit-
uents Of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
he Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods sre not digested In the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division OF the ali
mentary canal just below tho stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, II not
wholly, the work Of the pancreatic
Juice. This Juice Is Of alkaline reac-
ion, and Is rendered inert by tho addi-
ton Of acid. A hyperacidity Of the
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsifled, and the system is
deprived Of its due proportion Of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is Ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity Of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stOm-
ach, II the process Of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates q
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of PerUna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. BY
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation Of the contents Of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
cniy remains for the patient TO eat
sufficient amount Of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes it's place.
