a weak or exhausted stomach with its
inability to eliminate poisonous waste

most peoples inefflciency, dependency
and general feeling Of wretchedness. Gas,

And the reason for the greater part of
this unnecessary stomach misery Is be-

by reason of conditions which Nature
never intended, have become exhausted
and cannot without assistance eliminate
the waste matter through the thirty-foot
