It's Stomach C0tu2yh

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamentaI rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are a large number of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and feshy
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 foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. 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 add
ton of acid. A hyperacidity Of tho
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, DESTROYS
he pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsifed, and the system Is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is a ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes h%yperacidity of the gastric
juices. This h~yperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the 5tom-
ach, if 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 pam
create 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 JUICES thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eats
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
n the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

More Colorado River Changes.

Since its invasion of the Salton
Sink, and the struggle of the en-
gineers to hold it under control, the
Colorado River has found a new
mouth, twenty or thirty miles south
east of the old one. The conse-
quences of this change, says DR.. b. T.
MacDougal, are somewhat moment
Gus. For one thing, the bore which
formerly ran many miles upstream,
affecting both the Colorado and the
Hardy Rivers, will probably disap-
pear, since in the new channel the
water reaches the sea by a more
gradual descent and with a gentler
current. New mud-flats will fringe
the shore for a distance of fifty miles.
Eventually, it is probable, a brackish
lake, fifty or sixty miles long, will be
formed, into which the seepage of
the Hardy River will flow; and seri-
GUS disturbance of the plants and ami
mails over an area of several hundred
square miles may ensue.
