quality Is, as a rule, so poor that they
are in little demand. For very large
trees, o. course. this is decidedly tho
best way 20 buy them.

THE DYSPEPSIA
OF OLD AGE
Strong Digestion and an Adequata
Nutrition invariably Mean A Long
and Healthy Life.

ana 1caltny LIE
There Is process known as meta
bolism going on constantly in the
body. and by which the tissues are
built up. and after having served their
purpose in the physical economy, are
torn down and cast off
So long az tho due relation between
waste and supply is maintained. nutri-
ton. and the various functions OF the
body arc continued. But after middle
life and in old age there comes a time
when waste exceeds supply and when
the various elements which constitute
tho different fluids. tissues and organs
no longer hold their due proportion.
and the principle or life itself becomes
enfeobled, tho body no longer having
power to assimilate new material as it
once did

gestivc processes Of old people could be
maintained unimpaired. life could be
prolonged almost indefinitely.
There are many old persons in whose
stomachs the gastric function is almost
entirely suspended. When this trouble
occurs, the problem Is. how 70 digest
