hunger From the Liver.

Hunger, appetite, does not start
from the stomach, as all believe and
as you all feel when hungered. but the
call for food really comes from the
fieshes of the whole body. mostly from
the liver. It seems, for people who have
had to have their stomachs taken en-
tire1y from their body still have the
absent old stomach growl and yell
three times a day for meals. some
thing like people having finger pains
and pleasures In a hand that has been
cut on for years.--New York Press.
