somewhat proud Of it, mentioning
the fact To neighbors and marvel
Jug that YOU can run at all with one
kidney and no appendix.
Bad breath. flatulepce, drowsl-
oess in the daytime. wakcfulpess at
night, all mean food poisoning.
Resort to drugs FOR relief, rontinue
20 guIp. guzzle and bolt, turning to
the doctor now aud then in time
Of trouble. anil the water supply
gets infected by the sewage, aud
the doctors call il nervous pros

matury rheumatism, or UeurItis,
and the undertaken begins TO take
personal interest 10 you.
We all realize the dangers from
strong drink. but strong meat that
sets up its fcrmcut is quite as bad
ms the product of the grain that
is fcrmentcd first and swallowed
aftervsrd.
The craving for Stimulants is
disease. aud never goes with diete
tic righteousness. Crime follows
NAL nut ritiou. as does night the
day. Irrita bility. stupidity, touch
mess, are some of the results of
food poisoning. The criminal is

Twenty-Five wears ago DR.. Chat
col OF Paris said: Nipety-five per
cont of all diseases have their ori-
gin in the digestive tract.
''Mosi of the so.callcd Il" heart
diseases are stomach troubles.
The stomach being located just he
neath the heart, fermentation
causes pressure on The heart, aud
this starts paIpitstion and irregn-
laritv of heart beat: and probably
in time may set up regular heart
disease.
All disease. of the liver bave
their rise in imperfect digestion.
Overtaxcd kidneys with diabetes
and Bright's disease, follow like
causes. Catarrb, hay fever, colds,
poy NAV originate from imperfect
elimination.
Even when there are opidemics
of yellow fever, typhoid and small
pox, only q part of the population
arc infected.
Diseases catch those rho lack
resisting power, or resiliency. Keep
YOUR bodily health MP to a high
average and YOU are proof against
my malevolcnt germ that may
COMO along.
Health means that the friendly
germs are fighting for YOU, ard
disease means thar the germs OF
dissolution and death are in the
majority.
Chemicals that set up an. eyplo-
sion in the internal ccouomy were
discovered by Hypoerates five hun
dred wears before Christ. IL wns
looked upon. and has been all down
the centuries. as wonuertOl
thing that YOU could take a drug
and bring about a certain result
In n short time.
But. there is one thug the world
has not known until very recent
times. and that is that cvery drug
has not only n direct but reSc-
tionary effect. Action and reae-
tiou are equal
The use of drugs that bring about
quick action are always followed
BY periods of iuaction and torpor::
Then. after time, the Individual
has to take more medicine. He is
educating his body, and be is
wrongly educating it. and in course
of time he becomes a victim OF. the
drug habit-wbich is as bad as TO
be victim of the drink hahit.
And. in fact, il is very much like
il, save that IT'S symptoms arc some
what vcilcd, but il is Just as deadly
in It's career.
Every individual should discover
for himself thc foods that agree
with him and stick TO them He
will also properly discover the
foods that disagree with bin. aud
these be should absolutely fofego.
