 On Premature | <
 Old Aqe :

few years ago the famous scientist, Prof Metchnikoff, declared that people generally be- come decrepit-feeble-age years and years be- lore their tme-that person ought to live we'll over hundred years. He devoted long life to scientific experiments and proved that toxic poi sons which form in the intestines and cause auto intoxication--that is, self posonng-had more to do with shortening life than anything else. Clean out these poisons and there is no reason why hu- man beings should not live hale, hearty, strong and vigorous hundred years or more. Such is the doctrine taught by the noted Metchnikoff
 What causes those toxic poisons, you ask where do they come from-how do they get into the intestinal tract?
 Science gives us answer in one word-super- acidity-which is merely the medical name for what IS more commonly known as acid-stomach.
 Too much acid in the stomach interferes with proper digestion of food Instead, it ferments; and 1t IS this mass of partially dgested sour fer mentlng food passing through the ntestines that creates those toxic poisons- -posons that are ab- sorbed into the blood, causing it to become thin, pale and sluggish --poisons that are carried into every part of the system--poisons that cause a long train of diseases and make millions of men and women feeble, haggard and old looking be- fore their time when by right they should be strong, healthy in the prime of life.
 Common sense tells us that in order to stop those toxic poisons forming in the intestines, you must rid the stomach of excess acid The food you eat must be properly dgested and assimilated, and not allowed to enter the intestines sour, fer mented mass, there to become breeding place for countless millions of deadly germs-for these gei.n in reality what make the poisons.
 A way has been Hound for removing the excess acid from the stomich quickly, naturally, fly, that it seems almost unbelievable. The re- movable of the exc&ss acid is done by an absorb ent remedy much Inc same as you take up . blot of ink with biotfing paper.
