INDIGESTION. (By "Cured.") Food must be eaten in sufficient Quantity, and must be digested, and be converted into blood. Nature makes thi«i one of her most imperative laws of life. During the process of digestion food is entirely changed in composition by the action of the juices of the internal organs through which it passes. In the mouth it is thoroughly mixed with, the saliva. Ihen it is swallowed, and enters the stomach, where it is acted upon by the gastric juices, and becomes partly liquefied. From the stomach it passes to the smaller intestine — which is about 18ft in length— and there certain portions of the food are liquefied by the bile ami other juices. The food thus made fluid is in a condition to be absorbed into and become a constituent part of the blood. The indigestible portion "of the food is] discharged into the larger intestine, j whence it is in turn expelled from thej body together with other refuse matter.; Just as certainly as that it is necessary,' to life that food must be absorbed, ■ ao,' likewise, is it essential that the blood' must be in a condition to absorb the food. Torpidity of the liver is the, chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, and when the liver is torpid" the kidneys are generally sympathetically), affected. The blood, which should b» transformed, cleansed and filtered by tha kidneys and liver, then contains uric and! biliary poisons, and is therefore a feeble! absorbent of nutriment. This .conditionof the blood reacts upon the nervous sys-I tern of the digestive organs, and prevents the flow and alters the quality of the di«» gastive juices. ' The entire nerve energy of a person suffering from indigestion is weakened, owinf to the contaminated condition of the blood, and the general feeling ,of mental and physical depression, whicli is experienced during an attack of dyspep-j sia, is due to this cause. The blood must be continuously puri-i fied by the action of the liver and kidneys, or good digestion cannot be ex-j pected to occur. Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporaiy relief by eating predigestedi foods or taking medicines, such as pep- ( sin, which act as digestives in the intes-j tines. A cojrse of such treatment mere-, ly encourages a slothful action of the, digestive organs, and causes them to become gradually weaker and less capablaj of performing their duty, just in tha) same way that a person who takes littl* or no exercise becomes incapable of responding to any demand for exertion.) Other sufferers irritate the digestive organs into temporary and abnormal ac-,' tivity by taking purgative medicines s». frequently that presently the stomach and intestines refuse to act except underl such irritating stimulation. The onlyj rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to create such a condition of] the blood that each corpuscle becomes hungry for food, and ready and eager toj / absorb it. The digestive 'secretions will; then respond to the demands of thej blood, and the 6tomach and intfertinesi T\ill perfoim their work as a matter ofi course. 'When the blood is laden with ' unc nnd biliary poisons it cannot sde-,' quately absorb food, and makes .but aj feeble attempt to do so. VTarnci's Safo Cure is not a purgative medicine. It permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because lbj restores the liver and kidneys to health' and activity, so that the blood naturally becomes free from uric and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nntrimfst! frocly. Nutriment is then conveyed by, the blood to the nerves throughout the J body. The nerves of the digestive or-J gans being property nourished. the> or., ' gans are in a condition to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided iUi her efforts to preserve a balanceyin the, manifold and complex processes of waste, and renewal by which life is maintained. In addition to the regular 5s and ?& Sd. bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 2s 6d per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alcohol, and contains th* same number ot doses as the 5a bott 1 * ,of .Warner's Safe Cure,,— A<iy.U
