YOU'RETOO THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal Derangemenks
Of tie .StomacA Produce Held Fer
menfatioN Of the Food
It's Stomach C0tus7,h

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 arc large number of peo-
pie 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.
Sat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods 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 di-
gestcd or emulsified, and the system Isl
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning Of the trouble is q 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, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates o
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
cancellation results.
A dose of Pcruna 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
only remains for the patient to eat a
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump.
ness takes its place.

MRS. CHARLES KAUFMAN DEAD.

Baltimore tSpeciaD Mrs. Charles
Kaufman, who, before her marriage.
a year ago, to Mr.. Kaufman. Of Bos.
ton, was the widow of Col Alexander
Brown, the Baltimore banker, died
at the Hebrew Hospital from a stroke
of apoplexy.
Their recent marriage caused a
sensation because of the wealth of
Mrs. Brown and the disparity in their
ages, she being sixtysix years old
and Kaufman thirty-two years her
junior. Two weeks ago Mr.. ana Mrs.
Kaufman returned from a six weeks
trip to Europe, she having been IN
poor health fer some months.

My son Clyde was almost completely
covered with eczema. Physicians treated
him for nearly year without helping him
any. His head, face, and neck were GOV.
cred with large scabs which he would rub
until they fell off. Then blood and matter
would run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if he
got well he would be disfgured for life
When it seemed as if he could possibly
stand it no longer, l used some Cuticuit
