Does Your Stomach Rule Your Brain
or Does Your Brain Rule
Your Stomach?

TNHREE months ago | wrote an editorial entitled
l "A Lesson from Luigi.
l. In it told the story of Luigi Cornaro, an Italian
n6blcman of four hundred years ago.
At forty Luigi given up by his physicians as dead
He fooled the doctors and lived to be lo2 lie
took Mr no .;n"I, mJu'c,ne c1% douu ON his eo,;uo
Since that editorial appeared have received many
hundreds of letters. have learned that many men dis
covered Ligs system years before me and have proted
by it.
Among them Thomas A. Edison
In article in the LADIES' Home Jornal some years
ago Dr. Richard Cole Newton told in Edsons own words
why Edison sick
This is Edisons story:
Edison's great grandfather discovered Lugis book
many years ago. and decided to order his life according
to its precepts.
He had sons, of them Edisons grandfather.
All followed their fathers exampe-and Luigi $
and lived to be more than so.
Edison's father followed their wise lead and lived to
be o. passing away"-like Luig-"as who falls
into sweet Sleep"
"The body" says Edison " only piece of machinery.
Now have hundred horsepower engine and boiler big
enough to drive it. no wise engineer will fire that boiler to It's full
capacity when he only wishes take eight horsepower work out
of his engine If he does this he later burns the CRATE
his rebox But that what the majority dong
burning hundred horsepower fuel in their bodies and
taking eight horsepower of work Is wonder that the
boiler uetle cogged that the pipes burst
causing apopexy and that the machine breaks down before its
life is half lived out?"
If you are now 80, the chances are all against your
living to be more than 50. See the mortality tables.
You ought to live to be 70 at least.
You can live to ripe old age if you will begin to
select your food carefully and eat less.
Find out who sells the best foods and what is the
relative food value of each kind of food.
Then eat just enough that you leave the table
little hungry.
Between meals put nothing in your stomach but five
glasses of fresh cold water.
When you feel sick, stop eating altogether. Dogs
wise enough to know that rule; Indians know and follow
it, Edison follows it; Luigi followed it.
Only civilized man is fool enough to stuff his system
Sunday when he does less work and the days when
he feels "under the weather."
The world is divided into two classes:
The men and women whose stomacls rule their brains,
and the and women whose brains rule their somacs.
You eat twice S much Edison; you work half as
long; you require more sleep. Why?
Because his system not coggcd with useless food and
requires only few hours in which to recuperate.
There is more dismal spectacle in the world than
that of the business who dawdlcs hotel table
at noon, and yawns his desk all the afternoon.
You not by eating less become great Edison;
you may not live long But you positively lengthen
your life clear your BRAIN get along with less sleep and
feel more efficient every day
This-I repeats the lesson from Luigi
1t is also the lesson from Edison.
