Within the last 20 years there has
sprung into existence theories by the
score relative to the kinds of food that
human beings should eat, and should
avoid. With the tremendous increase
in nervous and stomach diseases which
are caused by the strenuous life Of this
neurOtic, neurasthenic age in which We
live, we are constantly having our at
tention called to some food faddists
new idea" on the subject of alimenta-
ton.
Most prominent among these theo-
rists is the vegetarian who insists that
meat was never intended for the hu-
man stomach, despite the fact that his
ancestors for 5000 years or more, used
1t as their principal article of diet; and
the old patriarchs Of Biblical History
who lived to prodigious old ages, were
meat eaters All of the great nations Of
history have been users Of meat and
all of the most powerful and advanced
countries Of today employ it extensively
in their dietaries. and their superior de
velopment and high degree of civiliza-
ton are in strong and striking con-
traSt to the decadent and degenerate
nations OF Asia and the tropics, whose
inhabitants are vegetarians-
Another faIlacy which has lately be-
come a fad, is the sO-called -Tew-pro-
ted" diet. Now, the foods which are
rich in proteids are the ones which
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood,
so that any great reduction in the
amount OF proteid used simply means
semi-starvation for the most important
centers of the systematic ones on
which we depend the most to enable US
to successfully fight the battles of life.
Those nations whose people use foods
containing but little proteid are never
Of large frame or well-built- The Japa-
nese, who have always been small Of
stature, have, since adopting a more
liberal proteid diet, shown a remark
able increase in size. vigor and general
development; and it is only since Japan
became a meat-eating nation that it
has developed into a worldpOWer.
Still another theory lately advanced
is that sugar, pepper and salt are gas
trio irritants and irritate the mucous
membrane Of the stomach, although it
IS known that sugar possesses a high
caloric value. while pepper and salt
assist digestion rather than interfere
with it, as is claimed.
The no-breakfast plan, the two-meal
per day. and even the one meal daily
has been advocated, while some advise
two or three weeks fast, during
which all food IS withheld from the
stomach ito give 1t a rest" completely
ignoring the fact that the systems It's
sues are being constantly torn down
and cast off, and new material to re-
build them must be supplied from the
food
1t is utter nonsense to concern ones
self about all these absurd and illOgi-
cal theories, as life is entirely too
short, and there are other things re-
curing our attention. Eat what you
want when you want it, and as much
as the system needs to replenish its
waste, and then take one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and forget
all about food fads and stomach trou-
bles. They digest all kinds OF food so
thoroughly you won't know you have
a stomach. They are powerful digeS-
tors of every kind Of food through harm
less to the system, and may be taken
at any time and in any quantity.
