Nervous Indigestion. I "Ordinary Tonics Always Bad." j A Phyeician's Views on Diet. ' " Nervous indigestion " has become * very common complaint, said a physician lecturing at the Londonlnstitute of Hygiene . recently. 1 Victims of it gain scant general sympathy, and it is often summed up as imaginary by their friends who have never ' suffered from it. I The nervous system, he continued, acts i very much on the_ digestion, and braia disturbances cause in some people the secretion of too much gastric juice and in ! others the reverse. Ordinary tonics, said the lecturer, ar« ! always bad for weak digestion, and quinine, I iron, arsenic, and such things, although ; they may bring about a ravenous appetite . for a few days, invariably have a reaction. • The Value of Special Diet. Incalculable harm is done, continued ■ the lecturer, by kindly friends urging the ; sufferer to "feed up," and many a case J of chronic indigestion could be traced to 1 the " feeding up " friend. Special diet is, however, frequently necesi sary, and for this purpose the '' therapeutical r food," Sanatogen. proves very useful. Its ■ chief value lies in the fact that it directly tones and invigorates the nerves with which J the stomach and other digestive organs i are equipped, and on which their efficiency ! depends. At the same time Sanatogen is i itself a food, giving the maximum of coni centrated nutriment with the minimum of I bulk, and being absorbed by the weakest ' stomach without any-strain-on the digestive powers. The result is that the sufferer from nervous indigestion can greatly re■r duce and simplify his ordinary diet whilst 3 actually increasing his nutrition by means I of Sanatogen. j Moreover, his whole nerve-energy is inI' creased, so that the nerves controlling the i' stomach, etc.. become stronger and more ' efficient, with the result that a radical ■ change for the better is soon established. A Remarkable Letter. An interesting case in point is that of > the Rev. J. J. Tyndall, Chaplain to the Fleet of the Naval Station, Simonstown, I who writes from Dublin as follows: ■ "I was compelled to return home from abroad owing to a serious disorder of «' my digestion. For about five years 1 • could scarcely digest ray food at all, and the almost continual regurgitations of lood made mc pretty well worn out. After having tried many, patent foods without avail, I at last tried Sanatogen, and with • remarkable success. Really, it is making a new man of mc. The acidity has almost , ceased, and I am now able to take solid ' food without any unpleasant results." Sufferers from nervous indigestion would i do well to bear in mind the above warn- ! _. ing as to the ill effects of ordinary tonics. , The best plan is to take a course of Sanat- ' ogen, and at the same time to consult a physician who will correct any fundamental > error in the diet or mode of life. [Note. — Sanatogen of perfect pre-war quality can be obtained at all chemists from 3/9'Vtf $[■ per tin.]
