Within the last twenty vars there
has sprung into existence theories by
the score relative to the kinds Of food
that human beings should eat, and
should avoid. With +he tremendous In
crease in nervous and stomach dis
eases which are caused by the strenu-
Gus life Of this neurotic, neurasthentc
age in which we live, we are con-
stantly having our attention called to
some food faddist's new idea" on the
subject of alimentation.
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 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 Il Of the most
powerful and advanced countries of
today employ 1t extensively in their
dietaries, and their superior develop
ment and high degree Of civilization
and in strong and striking contrast to
the decadent and degenerate nations
Of Asia and the tropic whose inhabi-
tants are vegetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come a fad, is the so-called '1ow-pro-
teid" 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
semi starvation for the most important
centers Of the systematic ones on
which we depend the most tn enable us
20 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 c more
liberal proteid diet shown a remark
able increase in size, vigor and gen.
eral development; and 1t Is only since
Japan became a intoxicating nation
that ii has developed into world
power.
Stin another theory lately advanced
Is that sugar pepper and salt are gas
trio trritants and irritate the mucous
membrane Of the stomach. although
IL is known that sugar p, sesses a
high calorfc value, while pepper and
salt assist digestion rather than inter-
fere with 1t, 1t is claimed.
The no-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 all food Is withheld from the
stomach ito give IL rest" completely
ignoring he 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-
quiring our attention. Eat what you
want when you want It and as much
as thu 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
stomach. They are powerful diges-
tors Of every kind Of food though
harmless to the system, and may be
taken at any time and in any quantity.
