Within the last twenty years there
@as sprung into existence theories by
Che score relative to the kinds of food
that human beings should eat, and
should avoid. With the tremendous In
crease in nervous and stomach dis
eases which are caused by the strenu-
pus life of this neurotic, neurastheniC
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-
Fists is the vegetarian who insists that
meat was never intended for the hui
man stomach, despite the fact that his
ancestors for 5000 years or more,
used it 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 all of the most
powerful and advanced countries OF
today employ IL 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-
4ants are vegetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be-
come a fad, is the so-called "Iow-pro-
teid" diet. Now, the foods which are
z 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
J which we depend the most tn 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 Japa-
nese, who have always been small of
stature, have since adopting q more
liberal proteid diet shown remark
able increase in size, vigor and gen.
eral 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
is that sugar pepper and salt are gas
trio irritants and irritate the mucous
membrane of the stomach, although
IT is known that sugar possesses a.
high caloric value. while pepper and
salt assist digestion rather than inter-
fere with IT, 1T Is claimed.
The no-breakfast PLAN the two-meal
per day, and even the one meal daily
has been advocated, while some advise
q two or three weeks fast during
which all food is withheld from the
stomach ito give 1t 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 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 Il and as much
as the 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
a 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. !
