RATIONAL INDIGESTION CURBBy "Sano." "ood must be eaten in sufficient ntity, and must be digested, and onverted into blood. Na s this one of her most imp tive laws of lne. During the process of digestion food is entirely changed in composition by the action of the jisicos of the internal organs through which it passe-*;. In the mouth it is tho.xmghly .mixed with the saliva. Then it is swallowed, and eiitere the stomach, where it is acted upon by the gastric juices, and becomes partly liquified. From the stomach it " sses to the smaller intestii! ich is about 18 feet in length—: there certain portions of the food are liquified by the bile and ether juices, The food thus made fluid is in a condition to be absorbed into and becom<» a constituent part of the blood. The indigestible portion of the food is 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 livor is torpid the kidneys are generally sympathetically affected. The blood, which should be transformed, cleansed, and filtered by the kidneyH and liver, then contains uric and biliary poisons, and is thereiore a feeble absorbent of nutriment. This condition of the blood reacts upon the i vous system of the digestive organs, and prevents the flow and alters the quality of the digestive juices. The eintire nerve energy of a son suffering from indigestion is weakened, owing to the contaminated condition of the blood, and the general feeling of mental and physical depression w-hich is experienced during an attack of dyspepsia, is dua to this cause. The blood must be continuously purified bj the action of the liver and kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected to occur. litany sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relief by eating pr digested foods or taking medicine i as pepsin, which act as diges--5 in the intestines. A course of such treatment merely encourages i slothful action of the digestive org"" and causes them to become gradui ,_ er and less capable of perfor :heir duty, just in the same w that a person who takes little or exercise becomes inoapable of sponding to any demand for exertio: Other sufferers irritate the digesti\« organs into temporary and abnormal ""jtivity by taking purgative medicii > frequently that presently the sto ach and intestines rei'use to act i cept under such irritating stinuL_ tion. The only rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to create Buch a. condition of the blood that each jcle becomes hungry for food, eady and eager to absorb it. The digestive secretions wiil then respond to the demands of the blood, and the stomach and intestines will perform their work as 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 Cur© is not a purgative medicine. It permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply be- " ause it restores the liver and kideys to health and activity, so 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 nerves of the digestive organs being properly nourished, the organs are in a condition to do their work efficiently. is merely aided in her efforts to preserve a balance in the manifold and complex processes of waste and renewal by which life is maintained.
