Within the last 20 years there mas
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 81
this neurotic, neurasthenlc age IN
which We live, we are constantly nav
ing our attention called to some food
faddists new idea" on the subject OF
alimentation.
Most prominent among these theo-
rists is the vegetarian who insists
that meat was never intended Tor the
human stomach, despite the fact that
his ancestors for 6,GC0 years or more
used it as their principal article OF
diet; and the old patriarchs Of BloL-
cal 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 develop
ment and high degree Of civilization
are in strong and striking contrast TO
the decadent and degenerate nations
of Asia and the tropics, whose lnhabl-
tants are vegetarians.
| Another fallacy which has lately be-
come fad, is the so-called "low-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 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 bat
ties of life. Those nations whose peo-
pie use foods containing but little pro-
ted are never of large frame or we'll
built. The Japanese, who have always
been small of stature, have, since
adopting a more liberal proteid diet,
shown a remarkable increase in size,
vigor and general development; and it
| is only since Japan became a meat
eating nation that it has developed
into a world-power.
Still another theory lately advanced
is that sugar, pepper and salt are gas
| trio irritants and irrit tie the mucous
membrane of the stomach, although 1t
is known that sugar possesses 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
a two or three weeks fast, during
which all food is withheld from the
stomach ito give it 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
illogical theories, as life is entirely
too short, and there are other things
requiring 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 for
get all about food fads and stomach
troubles. They digest all kinds OF
food so thoroughly you won't know
you have a stomach. They are pow
erful digestors of every kind OF food
though harmless to the system, and
may be taken at any time and in any
quantity.
