activity. The stomach needs TO have
healthy stretching with a good big
meal and TO have some hard work to do.
There are good many patients
whose stomachs are not really feeble.
but they need to be stretched by hearty
meals. Once In awhile good square
meal is prescribed for patient who
complains that he does not want TO
eat anything.
There is an instance of woman pa

inactive that 1t would not act upon or
even hold any food that was put into

she ordered a good meal. and she ate
everything she wanted, Her stomach
