Wealth Cranks and
Food Faddisis
Have Evolved Some Strange and Won-
derful Theories Concerning
Stomach Treatment.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

Within the last 90 wears there has
sprung into existence theories by the
score relative to the. kinds of food that
human beings should eat and should
avoid. With tho tremendous increase
in nervous and stomach diseases which
arescaused by tho strenuous life of this
netirotic, ne~urasthenic age in which
We live, we are constantly having our
attention called to some food faddist's
NEW idea" on the subject of alimenta-
tiotl.
Mos prominent among these theo-
xists is the vegetarian, who insists thar
Ineat was never intended for the hui
rlan stomach. despite the fact that his
ancestors for 5000 years or more
used it as their principal article of
diet; and the old patriarchs of Biblical
history who lived to p~rodigious 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 1t extensively in their
dictaries, and their superior develop
nlent and high degree of civilization
are in strong and striking contrast to
the decadent and degenerate nations
Z Of Asia and the tropics. whose inhabi-
tants are v~egetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come a fad is the so-called "low-pro-
teide' diet. Now, the foods which are
I rich In proteids are the ones which
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood,
80 that my great reduction in the
amount of proteid used simply means
ser1i-starvation for the most important
centres 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 out little proteid are never
of large frame or well-built. THE Japa-
nese, Who have always been small OF
stature have, since adopting y more
liberal proteid diet, shown a remark
able increase in size, vigor and gem
eraf development: and II is only since
Japan became a meat-eating nation
that it has developed INTO a world
power.
Still another theory lately advanced
lis that ugar. pepper n salt are
gastric irritants and irritate the mu-
cons of the stomach, al
though it is known that sugar pos
sosses a high caloric value, while pep
beg and salt assist digestion rather
thansinterfere with it, as is claimed.
The n~o-breakfast plan, the two-meal
per day, and even the one meal daily
has been advocated, while some advise
a two or three weeks fast, during
which ill food is withheld from the
stomach ito give 1t a rest" completely
ignoring the fact that the systems lis
sues are being constantly torn down
and cast off. and new material to re-
build them must be supplied from the
food.
IT is utter nonsense to concern ones
self about all these absurd and illosi-
cal theories, as life is entirely too
short, there are other things re-
During our attention. Eat what you
want when you want it, and as much
as the system needs to replenish its
waste. and then take ono or two OF
~stuiaxt's Dyspepsia Tablets, and forget
Sill about food fads and stomach troub-
les. They digest all kinds of food so
thoroughly you won't know you have
q stomach. They arc powerful digest
ors OF every kind of food. though
Z harmless TO the system, and may be
taken at any time and in any quantity.
