ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable

IT'S Stomach Cuty1yh

! Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperainental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number OF peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack In adipose tissue.
! Adipose tissue is chiefly composed Of
| fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making fooos are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested In
the duodenum, the division of the ALI
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion Of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the 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 d.
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
of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, il the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
,nly remains for the patient to eata
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
Ind the thinness disappears and plump
less takes its place.
