WRONG EATING KILLING
AMERICA SAYS MRS. ROSS

Wrong eating, rather than pro-

struggle is meeting extraordinary
success in curing overweight in 9th.
ers.
Eating and not drinking is the
curse of America today" says Mrs.
Ross. "We are overfed but under
nourished. Not all are Incorporate
in drinking but most of US do not
know how to eat intelligently. All
foods are good if eaten correctly. Sew
en- years of close study has convinced
me that every disease known to man
is first caused by wrong eating. Lack
of adequate food, supplied in proper
variety, leads to overwrought nerves,
and the victim seeks in drink and
drugs what he should have found in
right foods"
Many people believe it silly to
think that perfect health and bodily
structure can be brought about by
merely eating certain foods. But is
it? You would not try to repair a
wire fence with silk, thread nor mend
a silk stocking with wire, would you?
Each thing is good in its place, and
the same is true of foods. The hu-
man body is a complex machine de-
pending for its life-building and life
sustaining powers, science tells us,
upon many elements found in foods
free from the improvements of man.
If these are not all supplied properly,
the body cannot work at the high
est efficiency. Brain, muscle, bone
and nerves depend upon the blood to
furnish them materials; the blood in
turn, is dependent on the food put
into the stomach. To have perfect
body, we need only to give it the
right foods, judiciously combined.
Disease germs do not thrive in a pure
blood stream"
