RATIONAL INDIGESTION CURE.
By "Sano."'
Food must be ca'.(n in sufficient quantity, and must be digested, and oo converted into blood. Nature makes this one of her most imperative laws of life. During the process .ji ai£,..»iion untd i.s eiuneiy tuuiigtHi in conv.*ositiou by the action of the juices of the internal organs through which it passes. In the mouth it i:> ! thoroughly mixed with tlie saliva. J Then it is swallowed, and -enters tho • stomach, where it is acted upon by ! tho gastric juices, and becomes partly , liqucriod. > Rom the stomach it passes to tho sin alio r intestine—which is about , 18 fret in length—and there certain j .portions of the iood arts liquefied by , th«* bile and other juices. The food ' thu-5 made fluid is in a condition to be j absorbed into and become a constitu- | cut part of tho Wood. The indigestible portion of the food is discharged into ! the larger intestine, whence it i.s in j turn expelled from the body, together j with other refuse matter. ! Just as certainly as that it is necessary to life that food must be absorbed, co, likewise, is it essential that the blood must be in a condition to absorb the food. Torpidity of tho liver is the chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, and when the liver i.s torpid the kidneys are. generally sympathetically affected. Tho blocd, which .should bo transformed, cleansed and filtered by the "kidneys and liver, then contains uric and biliary •Voisons. and is therefore a feeble absorbent of nutriment:. This condition of the blood reacts upon the nervous (system of the digestive organs, and prevents tho flow and alters the quality of the digestive juices. The entire nerve energy of a person suffering from indigestion is weakened, owing to the contaminated condition of tho blood, and the general feeling of mental and physical depression which is experienced during an attack of dyspepsia, is duo to this cuite. The blood must bo continuously purified by the action of tho liver and kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected io occur. Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relief by eating prcdigestcd foods or taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives in the intestines. A course of such treatment merely encourages a slothful action of the digestive organs and causes thorn to become gradually weaker and less capable of performing their duty, just in tho same way that a person who takes little or no exercise becomes incapable of responding to any demand for exertion. Other sufferers irritate the digestive organs into temporary and abnormal activity by taking purgative medicines so frequently that presently the stomach and intestines refuse to act except under such irritating stimulation. The only rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to crcato such a condition of the Wood that each corpuscle becomes hungry for food, and ready and to absorb it. The digestrV© secretions will then respond to the demands of the blood, and tho stomach and intestines will perform their work as a matter of course. When tho blood is laden with uric and biliary poisons it cannot adequately absorb food, and makes but a feeble attempt to do so. Warner's Safe Cure is not a purgative medicine. It permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores tho liver and kidneys to health and activity, so that the blood naturally becomes free from uric and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutriment freely. Nutriment is then conveyed by the blood to the uervea throughout tho body. The nerves of th<* "digestive organs being properly nourished, tho organs aro in a condition to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided in her efforts to preserve a balance in the manifold and complex processes of waste and renewal by which life is maintained. In addition to the regular Us and 2s Oil bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, a, concentrated form of tho medicine is now issued at 2s 6d ncr bottle Warner's Safe Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alcohol, and contains the same number of doses as tho os bottle of Warner's Safo Cure.
