8 RATIONAL INDIQESTION CUJ» By "Sano." Food must be, eaten in. sufficient quantity, and must be digested, and bo converted into blood. Nature makes tiiie one of her most imperative laws of hie. During the process of digos-tiou 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. Then it is swallowed, and enters tihe stomach, where it is acted upon' by the gastric juices, and becomes partly liquified. I'roru the stomach it passes to the smaller intestine—whioh is about 18 feet in length— alia there ceitam portions of the food are liquified by the bile and other juices, The food thus made fluid is in a condition to be absorbed into and become s. constituent part of the blood. Ith® indigestible portion of the food i) discharged into the larger intestine, whence it is in turn expelled from the body together with other refuse matter. Just as certainly as that it is necessary to life that food must be absorbed, so, 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 lifer is torpid the kidneys are generally sympathetically uffeot-ed. The blood, which should be transformed, cleansed, and filtered by tlis kidneys and liver, then contains urio and biliary poisons, and i 6 therefore a feeble absorbent of nutriment. This condition of the blood reacts upon the nervous system of the digestive organs, and prevent*, the flow and alters the quality of the digestive juices. The entire nerve energy of a y&r----»on suffering from indigestion, is weakened, owing to tbe contaminated oondition of the blood, and the general feeling of mental ajid physical depression which is experienced during: &n attack of dyspepsia, is due to this cause. The blood must be continuously p*Tiiied bjr the action of the liver eund kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected to occur. Many sufforera from indigestion obtain temporary relief by eating predigested foods or taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives in the intestines. A course of such treatment merely encourages & slothful action of the digestive organ* and oauses them to become gradually weaker and lees capable of performing their duty, just in the same way that a person who takes little or no exercise becomes incapable of responding to any demand for exertion. Other sufferers irritate the digestive organs into temporary and abnormal aotivity by taking purgative medicines so frequently that presently the stomach and intestines reifuse to act except under such irritating stimulation. The only rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to create such a oondition of the blood that Aach corpuscle becomes hungry for food, and ready and eager to absorb it. The digestive secretions will then respond to the. demands of the blood, and the etomaoh and intestines will perform their work aa a matter of course. When the blood is laden with uric and biliary poisons it cannot adequately absorb food, and makes but a feeble attempt to do so, Warner's Safe Cure is not a purgative medicine. It permanently curea indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores the liver and kidneys to health and aotivity, bo that the. blood naturally becomes free from urio and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutriment freely. Nutriment is then conveyed by the blood to the nerves throughout the body. The nervee of the digestive organs being properly nourished, the organs are in a condition to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided in her efforts to preserve a balance in the manifold and complex processes of wiaste and renewal by whioh life is maintained. in addition to the regular 5s and 2s 9d toottles of AVarneir's Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine, ie now issued at 2s 6d per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure id not compounded with alcohol, and .contains the same number of doses os the 5s bottle of Warner's Sni'a Cure. H. H. Warner and C«„ Limited. U«lbounM. Vife
