THE ANTTDOTE FOR AUTOINTOXICATION
 AND ACIDOSIS IS FREE

Believe it or betray your ignorance of physi- ology, what really ails the man woman who
 thinks he she is suffering from autointoxica-
 tion or maybe acidosis is sub oxidation. ex-
 plained what that means in our last confab on
 the subject. But some wise man says 1t is ne-
 cessary to tell 8 simple truth like that a dozen
 times before it begins to dawn on your mind
 that it may be so. That is because you have
 been brought up from the cradle and all
 believe lot of things about health and dis ease which ain't Sub oxidation then, is in- sufficient combustion of fuel and tissue material in the body, lowered oxygenation, poor metab- olism More oxygen is the antidote for the various ills called 'autointoxication' or "ac- idosis." If you are well versed in mail-order pathol-
 ogy and therapeutics you will immediately sur mise that the antidote for autointoxication or
 acidosis is deep breathing and in that you will
 be dead wrong. If it were possible to get more
 oxygen by deeper breathing it would be great
 medicine for what ails you, but that is not pos
 sbe, as will endeavor to explain later.
 . There are numerous means available to the physician for increasing or speeding up me- tabolism oxidation, internal combustion, but there is just one way which should concern
 any who wishes to keep well, and that is,
 play. And now, before you turn aside in bore dom or disgust, let me hasten to add that for those who afford 1t the very best kind of
 daily exercise is walking. Show man or
 woman who absorbs say five or six miles of oxygen daily the hoof and I'll bet you odds he she has good metabolism.
 Not only for the protean complaints labeled
 standardization or "acidosis" but likewise ! for all forms of rheumatism" oxygen on the
 hoof is in my judgment the best remedy we have. The idea of victim of rheumatiz hik- ing six miles day may strike the casual read
 CT as comical, but even so, if the patient can possibly do it or part of it every day I still
 say it. is the best remedy we have for chronic arthritis of any kind.
 Of course if one is going to absorb or assim- Hate more oxygen one must do it by deeper or faster breathing, but that is an unconscious or automatic response to the stimulus of exercise. Again. of course it involves some exercise
 merely to make the effort of conscious deep
 breathing or faster breathing. But the sur change of the blood with oxygen which is pro- duced by few moments of such deeper or
 faster breathing is promptly counter balanced by the accumulation of an excess of carbon
 dioxid in the blood and tissues during the per- iod of slower more shallow breathing that inevitably follows the forced breathing. Thus you finish the deep breathing foolishness vir- tually as you were, except for the trifng in-
 crease in oxygen utilization or absorption due to the increased effort of the breathing mus cles. Not so when your breathing automatic ally increases under the stimulus of active ex- ercise, brisk walk, a game that gives you pleasure, or any kind of muscular labor. This literally places your metabolsm higher level, makes you more alive.
