BENJAMIN TALKS
ON JAPANESE
QUESTION
Explains His Ideas Concerning
Intern0arriage Between
American and Jap.

Il noticed in morning paper that
an eastern professor says mixture Of
! Japanese blood with the American
would improve the race" said the
young Benjamin stomach man last
night. He was leaving his headquar-
ters in the Honolulu Drug Co.'S store
on Fort street, where he was meeting
a stream OF callers all day yesterday,
when asked his opinion of this theory.
Il haven't considered it very seri-
ously," he continued. Undoubtedly
many of the Japanese customs would
be a good thing for this country, but
| don't believe in intermarriage. The
Japanese are wonderful people
They are the only pioneers left in the
world
They are really as old as any of
the white races, but they are only
waking up to modern conditions.
Their way of living is still primitive.
This accounts for their wonderful
vigor, and the great progress they are
, making. They have, Individually, the
strength Of the early American pio
neerS
Our forefathcrs lived life as SIM
pie as that of the Japanese now. They
ate sparingly, of plain food, worked
hard, slept we'll They were strong
men, and they did big things. If we
are to keep up to their standard and
resist the invasions of this new young
race, we must get back to sound,
healthy living.
Half the Americans you see now
are simply dragging through life. |
They haven't the strength to do any !
thing They feel dull and lifeless. 1t
is because of their way of living. Did
You ever see a Japanese who didn't I
look bright, alert, wide awake and
alive? That is because they feel well.
All their lives they eat plain food, !
regularly, as the early Americans did. /
| have never seen a Japanese suffer-
ing from any of the many ailments
caused by stomach trouble.
"The Americans begin when they +
are children to eat the wrong things
in the wrong way. It's no wonder
that by the time they are men and
women their stomachs are discour-
aged and loaling on the job. Then
everything goes wrong
Putting three hearty meals day
into worn out stomach is Just slow
suicide. The food lies there and de-
Gays, forms gas, clogs the bowels,
poisons the blood, makes all kinds of
mischief Experimenting with diets
is just as bad. With all his instincts
gone wrong, a man can't tell what is
good or bad for himself.
My treatment is meeting with
grand success in hundreds of cases
here in Honolulu just because it is
simple and direct. 1t goes right to
the seat of the trouble 1t gets the
stomach to doing its work properly.
Then it is only little time until the
system gets rid of the poisons that
make the trouble The human body
will cure iself of almost anything if it
is given chance.
when every meal digests properly,
flushing the veins with good rich
blood, clearing away impurities, feed
ing the nerves and muscles as nature
they should be fed, the whole
body is overlooking with life and
health, TIE patient is literally a new
man.
THE change in some of them is as
even to me, after my years
of experience in making sick people
well. If stomach trouble, which causes
at least 50 per cent of all our dis
eases, were wiped out of America,
there wouldn't be any question of i'm [
proving the race. 1t just couldn't be {
improved /
Hundreds of persons in Honolulu
are enthusiastic converts to the Ben
jamin theories
Owing to the demand and the great
number of people coming to see him.
Benjamin has been obliged to lengtben
the hours of his stay at the Honolulu ..
Drug Co. store. Benjamin and his as
5istants will be there daily, except
Sunday, from 8 a, IN. TO D. m. to
explain the remedies and how to get ,
the Cures.
