DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat

Nature never intended this should
be SO, for we are given a thing called
appetite hat should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
Blu we get i'll a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, ana our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
Indigestion and it's accompanying mis-.
cries.

MY husband and l have been sick
