FACTS FROM A FIRESIDE STUDY.

Have you ever sab clown to watch a fire burning— thought about itrealised how it burns Perhaps you will then notice that, up to a certain point, the more coal you put on the fire the finer the blaze you will get. But only up to a certain point. The residue of the coal, the ashes, must be taken out from underneath tlie coal. If they are allowed to remain, you can feed the fire from the top, but it will not burn— it will literally choke itself out. Now, imagine your life as a fire, with your body as a grate.

So is Palpitation and Shortness of Breath ; so is dizziness or fear of falling : so is Neuralgia or Nervous Breakdown; so is loss of Sleep or ; Insomnia. The cause is Indigestion.
