There are three vital processes OF
human eNistenCe,-the digestion OF
food, the extraction Of nourishment
from II and the elimination Of waste.
Poor digestion and assimilation
means failure to derive full nourish-
ment from food and that in turn often
means impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
an accumulation OF waste matter
which poisons the body, lowers vitality,
decreases the power OF resistance to
disease and leads to the development
OF many serious Ills.
Rheumatism,-due to some inter-
ference with the process OF elimina-
ton. failure to get rid OF certain body
poisOns, be expected TO yield

the condition responsible for II. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself Of rheumatic pain as long as

bluffing, and would not fight; that
the American army actually was being
made ready to meet Japan; that Ger

would blockade the coasts of Francs,
