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 reurotic. neurasthenic age in which we live. we are constantly having our attention called to some food faddist's new idea" on the subject of alimenta- tion-
 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 it 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 1t extensively in their dfstaries, and their superior develop rnent and high degree of civilization are in strong and striking contrast to the decadent and degenerate nations of Asia and the tropics, whose inha.bi- rants are vegetarians
 Another fallacy which has lately be- come a fad. is the so-calIed '1ow-pro- teid' diet. Now, the foods which are rich in proteids are the ones which build up nerve brain. muscle and blood
 
 amount of proteid used simply means Eerni- for the most important centers of the system-the ones on which we depend the most to enable us 10 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 Jap znese. who have always been small of stature, have, since adopting a more liberal proteid diet, shown a remark able increase in size, vigor and gen eraI development: and it is only since Japan became a meat-eating nation that it has developed into a world
 Stin another theory lately advanced Is that sugar, pepper and salt are gastric irritants and irritate the mu- cous membrane of the stomach, al- though it is known that sugar pos sesses a high caloric value. while pep per and salt assist digestion rather than interfere with it. as is claimed.
 The no-breakfast plan, the two-meaI 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 it a rest" completely Ignoring the fact that the systems tis- 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 one's ReIf about all these absurd and illogi- cal theories. as life is entirely too short, and there are other things re- ouiring our attention. Eat what you want when you want it, and as much as the system needs to replenish it's waste. ard then take one or two of Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets, and forget all about food fads and stomach trou- hles- They digest all kinds of food so you won't know you have q 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
