8 RATIONAL INDIGESTION CURE

By “Sano.”

Food must bo eaten in sufficient quantity, and must be digested, and bo converted into blood. Nature makes this one of her most imperative laws of life. During the process of digestion food is entirely changed in composition by the action of the juices of the internal organs through which ft 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 the gastric juices, and becomes part ly liquified. From the stomach if passes to the smaller intestine—which is about 18 feet in length—and there certain portions ol 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 u constituent part of the blood. The indigestible portion of the food is liseharged info- the larger intestine, ivhcn.ce 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 lo absorb the food. Torpidity of the livei is the chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, and when the liver is torpid the kidneys are generally sympathetically affected. The blood, which should be transformed, cleansed, and filtered by the kidneys and liver, then contains uric and'biliary poisons, and is therefore a feeble absorbent of nutriment. This condition of the blood reacts upon the nervous system of the digestive organs, and prevents tlie liow and alters the quality of the digestive juices.

The entire nerve energy of a person suffering from indigestion is weakened, owing to the contaminated condition, of the blood, and tlie general feeling of mental and physical depression which is experienced during an attack of dyspepsia, is due to this cause.

The blood must be continuously pu-riiie-d by the action of the liver and kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected to oecur. Many sufferers 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 a slothful action of the digestive organs and causes them to'become gradually weaker and less 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 activity by taking purgative medicines so frequently that presently the stomach aud intestines refuse to act except under such irritating stimulation. The only rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to create such a condition of the blood that each corpuscle becomes hungry for food, and ready and eager to absorb it. The digestive secret ions will then respond to the demands of the blood, and tho 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 Cure is not a purgative medicine. It'permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores the liver and kidneys to health and activity, so that the blood naturally becomes free from uric and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutriment freely. Nutriment is then conveyed by tho blood to tho nerves throughout tho body. The norvee of tho digestive organs being properly nourished, tho organs aro 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 waste and renewal by which life is maintained. In addition to the regular 5s and 2a 9d bottles of Warner’© Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine ia now issued a.t 2s Gd per bottle.
