SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

Tby Dr. LOUIS II. blScn-
TT is true that a very wonder
Il full discovery has been made
by DIR. Banton in relation to
diabetes.
This discovery is insulin,
product OF one of the endocrine
glands, by which the general
well-being of the diabetic patient
may be preserved and his life
prolonged.
1t is not true, however, that
insulin cures diabetes!
Il you stop to study the matter
for a moment you will readily
understand why insulin cannot
be a cure.
The problem in diabetes has al.
ways been the problem of the
carbohydrates. the starches and
sugars, especially the question of
the sugars. Science did not know
exactly all the ways in which the
carbohydrates are disposed of in
the body.
1t was known for some time,
however. that in diabetes sugar
accumulates in the blood. some of
which is passed out in the urine.
Ii was also known that in cases
of diabetes the pancreas was in
famed to some degree, diseased
to some degree.
II remained for DR.. Banton to
discover that certain parts of the
pancreas secreated chemical
substance which took care of the
sugar OF the body. using it up for
purposes of vital energy. and,
therefore. he reasoned that If this
substance were isolated from the
pancreatic glands of animals and
given to diabetic sufferers, they
would be receiving from outside
sources what their own body was
deficient in.
This substance is the insulin
we hear so much about.
What insulin does is help the
sick pancreas gland along. 1t
does some of its work. 1t helps
to take the load off chemically
crippled organism.
Special diet still remains i'm
portant in the treatment of
diabetes.
Exactly what this should be is a
matter for the physician in charge
to decide, Usually when insulin is
taken the diet need not be so rig
orous and restricting as when
without insulin.
In general. the following articles
Of diet are to be strictly avoided
by the diabetic sufferer:
Sugars and sweet of every kind
and variety.
Postry, cakes, puddings, Ice
cream and all preserves.
Bread toast. crackers, biscuits
of all kinds and griddle cakes.
Macaroni, potatoes, carrots,
beans, peas, green corn, parsnips
and beets.
Soups, sauces or gravies thick
ened with flour or meal or made
with milk.
cereals Such as rice, SdSo, OdC-
meal, tapioca. barley and hominy.
Fruits of all kinds, whether
fresh or dried.
Milk. chocolate or cocoa.
All sweet drinks, including soda
water.
Beer, ale, sweet wines, porter,
sherry, port, cider, liquors or
sparkling wines.
II you are a diabetic he sure
you do what your doctor says as
regards your particular diet pre-
scribed.
II you eat sweets. etc on the
Q. +. you cheat nobody but your
self.

ONCE-OVERS
When Do You Think?

UTHEN do you try to do your
w thinking?
Just after you retire, do you
spend more or less time mulling
things over, because you can be
quiet and undisturhed?
! And then what is the effect on
you when you try to sleep?
Nervous system so tense that
you cannot relax in sleep.
Or perhaps this practice has
been a failure because you be-
come too sleepy and you doze off
before you ca4l really give solid
thought to the matters YOU want
to- consider.
You seldom think things over
as much as you should because it
takes too much effort and too
much time.
The Washington times., 1929-04-09

You want to get through life
with as little brain effort as pos
sible.
You have he.1 this attitude for
years.
Consequently you find It diff
e1lt to concentrate on any b.
ject.
Then you wonder why you
not more frequently consulted by
those in authority, where you are
employed.
This ought to be easy for you
to answer.
You don't think hard enough or
long enough on any subject.
You may choose the wrong
time for your thinking and 1t
does not bring results.

Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness
has not changed since DR.. Cald-
we'll left Medical College in 1875,
nor since he placed on the market
the laxative prescription he had
used in his practice. known to
druggists and the public since
1892. as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
PepSin.
Then, the treatment of consti-
patton, biliousneSS, headaches,
mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indiSpo-
sitions that result from conStipa-
ton was entirely by means OF
simple vegetable laxatives, herbs
and roots. These are still the
basis of DR.. CaldwellS Syrup
Pepsin, which is a combination of
SIENNA and other mild laxative
herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for con-
Stipation, the safer for the child
and for you. and the better for the
general health of all. And rs you
can get results in mild and safe
way by using DR.. CaldWell's Syrup
Pepsin, why take chances With
strong drugs?
