Your Physician

the stomach, into which no food had entered. 1t was
freely, exactly as if the desirable food had entered.
This proved that it was not the presence of food
which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow
was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action
of the mind, from anticipation"
One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over
an hour believing he was getting it into his stomach,
whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle went
out through the opening and yet all this time the d.
gestive juices flowed to the stomach, prepared to
quickly digest food. in response to the curious orders Of
the mind.
Do you pick up the lesson?
Unappetizing food, that which fails to create mental
anticipation, does not cause the necessary digestive
juices to flow, whereas, food that is pleasing to the
sight, and hence to the mind, will cause the complicated
machinery of the body TO prepare in a wonderful way
for its digestion.
How natural, then, to reason that one should sit down
to a meal in a peaceful, happy state of mind and start
of the breakfast, say with some ripe delicious fruit,
then follow with a bowl Of crisp, lightly Drowned, thin
and some good yellow cream and the attractive, appetiz-
ing picture cannot escape your eye and will produce the
condition Of mind which causes the digestive juices
nature has hidden in mouth and stomach, to come forth
and do their work
These digestive juices can be driven back by a mind
oppressed with worry, hate, anger or dislike of the dis
agreeable appearance Of food placed before one.
Solid facts that are worthy the attention of anyone
who esteems prime health and human happiness as q
valuable asset In the game Of life.

and slashed himself about the head
and throat. Mrs. Stein found him lying
on the floor in a pool of blood and sum-
moned assistance. 1t was impossible
to save his life. He was conscious for
a short time, and could only say that
the pain had rendered him insane. He
was unconscious Of his act. The cor

ing, the jury returning a verdict in &C
