Why Some Foods Explode
in the Stomach
By WILLIAM ELDRIDCE

completely gone, although he had formerly
been in the habit of taking large daily doses
of strong cathartic. In five weeks every
abnormal symptom had disappeared-his
weight having increased six pounds. In ad-
dition to this he acquired store of physical
and mental energy so great in comparison
with his former self as to almost belle the
fact that it was the same man.
But perhaps the most interesting case that
Christian told me of was that of multi
milllonaire-a man seventy years DID, who
had been travelling with his doctor for several
years in a search for health. He was ex-
tremely emaciated, had chronic constipation,
lumbago and rheumatism. For over twenty
years he had suffered with stomach and
intestinal trouble which in reality was super
aciduous secretions in the stomach The
first menus given him were designed to re-
move the causes of acidity, which was ac-
complished in about thirty days. And after
this. was done he seemed to undergo COM
plete rejuvenation. His eyesight, hearing
taste and all of his mental faculties became
keener and more alert. He had had no
organic trouble-but he was starving to
death from malnutrition and decomposition
all caused by the wrong selection and COM
bination of foods. After six months treat
ment this man was as well and strong as he
had ever been in his life.
These instances of the efficacy of right
eating have simply chosen at random from
perhaps dozen Eugene Christian told me
of, every one of which was fully as interest
ing, and they applied to as many different
ailments
There have been SO many inquiries from
all parts of the United States from people
seeking the benefit of Eugene Christians
advice and whose cases he is unable to handle
personally that he has written little course
of lessons which tells you exactly what to
eat for health, strength and efficiency. This
course is published by The Corrective Eating
Society of New York.
These lessons, there are "a of them, con-
tain actual menus for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, curative as we'll as corrective,
covering every condition of health and sick
ness from infancy to old age, and for all
occupations climates and seasons.
Reasons are given for every recommended
ton based upon actual results secured in the
authors many years of practice, although
technical terms have been avoided. Every
point is explained SO clearly that there can
be no possible misunderstanding.
With these lessons at hand it is just as
though you were in personal contact with
the great food specialist, because every pos
sible point is SO thoroughly covered that you
can scarcely think of a question which isn't
answered. You can start eating the very
things that will produce the increased phys
ical and mental energy you are seeking the
day you receive the lessons, and you will find
that you secure results with the first meal.
