PHYSICAL CULTURE (Letter No. 51) It’s Never Too Old to Mend. Haw era, Feb. 22,1931. Dear Mr. Jarrett, — I had been a martyr to indigestion for many years, so much so that, much of the savour was taken out of life. I had tried various things and had gradually' eliminated from my diet all things I could not digest, until there was nothing left except raw eggs and milk. At times even those were not assimilated, causing intense pain. For three months it was necessary for me to exist on Bengers’ Food alone, in order to give the stomach a rest. . I was at a low ebb when your advertisement attracted my attention. It said “None too young, none too old.” I was then 58. So I concluded there might be hope and as a last resort I would write to you. Having also, a leaking heart valve and a hardening artery, I think that even you had not much hope for me when you saw me. But after interviewing my docto” you began instructing in very gentle breathing exercises. The first week consisted of nothing more strenuous than lying on my back, doing steady, regular breathing. No strain; no exertion. After some weeks faithfully practicing, I noticed an improvement, which continued tor months. Then a bad bout of - gastric influenza set me back again. Recovery was slow and disappointment great, but I w'eather.ed through and began the exercises again. For a whole year now I have not had ; the slightest pain of indigestion. I had another turn of ’flu last spring, but it I aid not last long, and although accompanied by vomiting, which weakened me, there was no actual pain as formerly. I am now GO years of age and feel better in health and younger than some years ago, I do not claim to be able to eat everything and anything at present, but I can" eat and enjoy all necessary foods, such as fruits, vegetables, wholemeal bread, butter, eggs, fish, and sonic meats, which I had not been able to do for six or seven years previous to your instruction. I believe it to be brought about through strengthening the digestive organs by correct breathing exercises and an increased understanding of things. Yours faithfully, Mrs. E.C.M.

JP a product is poor, advertising will make the fact known to the public all the more quickly and rapid failure will follow. Consistently advertised goods must therefore be good. Insist on them and beware of substitutes.
