Have Evolved Some Strange and Won
derful Theories Concerning
Stomach Treatment.
A Trial Package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

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 in
crease in nervous and stomach diseases
which are caused by the strenuous litc
of this neurotic, ncurasthenic age In
which we live, we are constantly having
our attention called to some food fad.
dist S "new idea' on the subject of
alimentation.
Most prominent among these theorists
is the vegetarian, who insists that meat
was never intended for the human
stomach, despite the fact that his an
cestors for 5000 years or more used
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 exten
sively in their dietaries, and their su-
perlor development and high degree of
civilization are in strong and striking
contrast to the decadcnt and degener-
ate nations of Asia and the tropics,
whose inhabitants are vegetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come a fad is the so called Glow pro
teid' diet. Now, the foods which are
rich In proteids are the ones which
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood,
go that any great reduction in the
amount of proteid used simply means
somi-starvation for the most important
centers Of the system-the- 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 we'll built The

of stature, have, since adopting moro
liberal proteid diet. shown a remarkable
increase in size, vigor and general de-

Still another theory lately advanced
IS that sugar, pepper and salt are gas

membrane Of the stomach; although il
is known that sugar possesses high
caloIic value, while pepper and salt as
