ASPARAGUS CAUSES

zard Of New Nork City. former
president Of the American Osteopa.
thic association. in e paper which he
read at the National Osteopathic
convention. This is not the fault Of
tne asparagus. however, explained
the doctor. He did not condemn as
paragus but explained that when IL
does cause "the blues" II is because
the persons system is already clog.
ged with its own impurities. He said.
THE asparagus is the last straw
which, added to the toxic state Of the
system, produces q physical state of
the brain and nerves which is re-
flected as "the blues" This happens
because the mechanics state of the
persons physical system Is such that
the organs Of elimination have not
been capable Of doing their work
we'll for such long time that the
system has become poisoned with its
own debris. But had the system
been kept always in good mechanical
condition, elimination would always
would have kept clear of poisons. and
have proceeded normally, the system
no bad effects would have followed
the eating OF asparagus, for the nor
NAL mechanism would readily throw
off the acid of the vegetable"
Mental functions, in other words,
according to the speaker are marked
ly influenced by the condition of the
blood. He explained this as follows:
cal organism must constantly keep
I'm the struggle that mems physi-
ical organism must constantly keep
on in order to grow, function, and
keep healthy, it il always that or
ganism that is handicapped by the
presence of Instructions to the free

that has the least chance to survive

"a mans mental functions cannot
keep clear and efficient and normal
unless his brain and nerves are fed
by copious streams OF pure blood.
The blood cannot be pure and circu-
late freely so long us the organs Of
elimination are ObstruCted.
