IrMOIOB^TiOJN. tOMUeiitfl w&cli are suffered when tho digestive organs fail to do their Work •thoroughly are, unfortunately, so well known to most of us that it is not necessary for the various symptoms of indigestion or dyspepsia to be given m detail hore. Indigestion has several sources of origin, the principal being Gastric Catarrh, m which the food becomes coverea with mucus, ana consequently resists the action of the digCßtive iuices . Gastrio Flatulency, the development of wind or gas ; Gastric Diarrhoea, caused by the fooa being hurriea through the digestive organs unassimilated, and Constipation. Constipation is by far the most frequent and obstinate cause of indigestion, and it must bo rectified or digestion cannot be otherwise than imperfect. Food must be eaten m sufficient quantity, and must be digested, ana be converted into blooa. Nature makes this one of her most imperative laws of life. During the process of digestion food is entirely changed m composition by the action of the juices of the internal organs through whioh if passes. In ,the mouth it is thoroughly mixed with the saliva. Then it is swallowed, and enters the stomach, where it is acted upon' by tho fiastrio iuices, and becomes partly liquified. From ths stomach it passes to the smaller intestine— which is about 18ft m length-— and there certain portions of the food are liquified by the bile and other juices. The food thus made fluid is m a condition to be absorbed Into andbecomes a constituent part of the blood. The indigestible portion of the food is discharged into the larger intestine, whence it is m turn expelled from the body togethor with other refuse matter. Just as certainly as that it is necessary to life that fooa must be absorbed, so, likewise, it is essential that the blooa must be m a'condition to absorb the food. Torpidity of the liver is the chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, ana when the liver is torpid the kidneys are always sympathetically affected to a greater or lesser extent. , •The blood, which should be transformed, cleansed and filtered by the kidneys and liver, then contain urinary and binary ppispns, and is therefore a feeble absorbent of nutriment. This condition of the blood reacts upon the nervous system of the digestive organs, and prevents the flow and alters the quality of the digestive juice 3. The entire nerve energy of a person suffering from indigestion is weakened, owing to the contaminated condition of the blooa, and tho general feeling of mental and physical depression, which is experienced during an attack of dyspepsia, is due to this cause. The blood must te continuously purified by the action of the liver and kidneys, or goo 3 digestion cannot be expected to occur. . ' Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relief by eating predigestea foods ar taking, inodicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives m the intestines. A course Df such treatment merely encourages a slothful action of 'the digestive organs, and causes them to become gradually weaker ana> less capable of performing their duty, just m the same way that a person who takes little or no exercise becomes incapable of responding to any demand fo.r exertion. Other sufferers irritate the digestive organs into tomporary 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 euro for indigestion is to create such a condition of the blood that each corpusole becomes hungry for food, and ready and eager to absorb it. fhe digestive secretions will then respond to the demands of the blood, and the stomach andjntestines will, perform their work as a matter of course. When the blood is laden with uric acid and other .urinary and biliary poisons it cannot adequately absorb food, aiid makes but a feeble attempt to do bo. Warner's Safe Cure io not a purgative medicine. --It permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores thef liver 'and kidneys to health and activity, so that the blood Mtnr&Uy becomes free from urinary and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutri ment : freely. Nutriment is then 1 conveyed by the blood to , the nerves throughout thr body. The nerves of the digestive organs; being properly, nourished, the organs are m V conditioh'to do t&eir work efficiently: -Mature >is 'rherely aided m her efforts to preserv. a balan<» m the manifoia md complex'prbcesses 9f waste and renewal by which life ia maintained. Remember, constipation or irregularity of the bowel 6 must be overcome, Warner's Safe Pills should, therefore, also be taken m sufficient quantities to ensure one free move ment daily.
