IINOIQE^SXIOIN. she torments whioh are suffered wheii the digestive organs 'fail to do their work I thoroughly are, unfortunately, so well known to most of us that it is not necessary for I the various symptoms of indigestion or dyspepsia to be given m detail here. \ Indigestion has several sources of origin, the principal being Gastric Catarrh, m V-which the food becomes covered with mucu^, and consequently resists the action of the juices . Gastric Flatulency, the development of wind or gas ; Gastric Diarrhoea, Jsaused by the food being hurriecUthrbugti ihe digestive organs unas'similated, and Conitipation. Constipation is by far the most yfrequent and obstinate cause of indigestion, And it must be rectified or digestion canndt be othevpfco than imperfect, , J Food must be, eaten m sufficient quantity, and must be digested, and be converted ,Sato blood. Nature raakes this one of hew most .imperative laws of- life.. During the jprocess of digestion food is entirely changed (m composition by the action of the jrices of sSSFthe i internal organs through which it passes, i In the mouth it is thoroughly mixed wibh the saliva. Then it is swallowed, and entens the stomach, where it is acted upon by the gastric juices, and becomes partly liquified. ' From tb/. torhach it passes to the smaller intestine — which is about 18ft m length— and ttere certain portions of the' food are liquified by the bile and other juices. Thei'fobd thus made fluid is m a condition to be absorbed into and becomes a constituent part or the blood. The indigestible portion of the food is discharged into the larger iitte/stine, whence it is m turn expelled from the body together with other refuse matter. j •. ■■'■■■*■ Just as certainly as that it is necessary, to life that food must be absorbed, so, likewise,' it is essential that the blood must be\in a condition to absorb the food. Torpidity of the liver is the oh^f cause of nearly eWfr case of indigestion, and when the liver is torpid the kidneys are always sympathetip&lly affected to a greater or lesser extent. Th&Wood, which sliould be transformed, cleansed and filtered by the kidneys and liver, _/- thfi contain urinary and biliary poisons, and is therefore a. feeble absorbent of nutriment. ' r< *^ f: a condiiion of the blood reacts upon the rtervous ( system of the digestive organs, and %9*ri*^hofloVi(nd alters the quality of this digestive juicesv vrThe entire nerva energy of -a person suffering from indigestion is weake-'Jedj owing to . I contaminated condition of the blood, and the general feeling' of mental and. physical oression, which is experienced during an avtaok of dyspepsia, is due to this cause.' ,7 The blood must be continuously purified by the action of the liver and kidneys, oz pi digestion cannot be expected to ocour. j* "'' r . - . i Many sufferers from indigestion obtain j temporary relief by eating predigested foods /r taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives m the intestines. A course Joi stich treatment merely encourages a Slothful action of the digestive organs, and /causes them to become gradually weaker anjj less capable of performing their duty, just^ /m the same way that a person who takes liotle or no exercise becomes incapable of rei* sponding to any demand for exertion. Ott&r B"fferers irritate the : digestive organs into ■ 1 temporary and abnormal activity by taking purgative medicines so frequently that pre- \ sently the stomach and intestines refuse to act except under such irritating stimulation. \ The only rational' and permanent cure for ijidigesfcidn. is to create suoh a condition of the Vblopd that each;, corpuscle becomes hungry for food, and ready and; eager to absorb it. "Tise digestive secretions will then respond to the demands of the blood, and the 'stomach ' and intestines will 'perform their work as a matter of oourse. , When the blood is laden 'with uric acid and other urinary and biliary poisona it cannot adequately absorb food, and makes but a feeble attempt' to do so. ' Saf e Cure I not a purgative medicine. It permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply „ poau'ae it restores the liver and kidneys to health and activity, so that the blood pturally becomes free from urinary and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutri- - x2ent\ freely. Nutriment is then' conveyed by the . blood to the nerves throughout the body.' The nerves of the digestive organs being proporly nourished, the organs are m a '*' riondijion to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided m her efforts to preserve \ balance m the manifold and complex processes of was^e and renewal by which life is • ....
