It's Stomach Clzt1,7h

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sens. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
peculiarity. .s,r,
But there are large number of peo-
ple who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fleshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue Is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat is derived from tho oily constit-
uents OF food.
Tho fat-making foods are called by
tho Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
class OF foods nre not digestcd in tho
stomach ut all. They are digestcd in
the duodenum, the division of tho ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion OF fat is mainly, IL not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is Of alkaline reac-
ton, md is rendered inert by the addi-
tion OF acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
tho pancrcatic fluid for digestive pur-
poSSos AhSAShoASs viz Aoto INV vi
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 tho process OF digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
tion will take place. This creates n
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion OF the oils, and the
emncintion results.
A dose OF Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation OF the contents of tho
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to cat \
sufficient amount OF fat-forning foods,
and the thinncss disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

Amid this pandemonium. and with

order again to make the convention
master OF Its affairs. He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the

Seizing q mesaphone he shouted the
roll Of states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually. however. the
curiosity Of the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm. and they Iapsed into
silence to hear the result of the roll
call.
A hush Of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaIed
