Danish indigestion. This advice. which
controverts the well known maxim of
..eat your food slowly" Is the considered
opinion of three doctors as the best cure
for inability to eat a square meal.
Such an unorthOdoX mode of dealing
with dyspepsia was first suggested by a

patient who is allowed to eat chicken by
picking it up with his fingers Is far
better able to digest his food than is
the invalid who is worried by knife and

"A great deal of decorous formality in
eating makes for bad digestion. Eat
with the fingers. like a healthy savage.
and You will digest your food like the
