CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of improper
food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that. as dropping water will wear a
stone away al last so win the use Of
heavy. greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and Indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughttul
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect ia
their daily food. A y. Y. young
woman writes her experience thus;
Sometime ago I had lot of trou-
BILE from Indigestion. caused by too
