INDIGESTION. THe torments which are suffered when the digestive organs fail to do their work thoroughly are, unfortunately* so well known to most of us that it, is not necessary for Ike various symptoms of indigestion or dyspepsia, to be given m detail here. Indigestion has several sources of origin, the principal being Gastric Catarrh, m which the food becomes covored with mucus, and consequently resists the action of the digestive juices . Gastric Flatulency, the development of wind or gas ; Gastric Diarrhoea, caused by the food being hurried through the digestive organs unassimilated, and Conrtipation. Constipation is by far the most frequent and obstinate cause of indigestion, and it must be rectified or digestion cannot be otherwise than imperfect. Pood must be eaten m sufficient quantity, and must be digested, and be converted into blood. Nature makes this one of her most imperative laws of life. During the process of digestion food is entirely changed m composition by the action of the juices of the internal organs through which it passes. In tho 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 partly liquified. From the stomach it passes to the smaller intestine — which is about 18ft m length—and there certain portions of tbo food are liquified by the bile and "other juices. The food tbus made fluid is m a condition to be absorbed into and becomes 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, it is essential that the blood must bo m a condition to absorb the food. Torpidity Df the liver is tho chief cause of nearly every case of indigestion, and when tbo liver is torpid the kidneys are always sympathetically affected to a greater or lesser extent. The blood, which should be transformed, cleansed and filtered by the kidneys and liver, then contain urinary 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 the flow 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 the 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 purified by the action of the liver and kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected to occur. '■ ; ' H ' Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relief by easing jteedigested foods or taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives m the intestines. A cpnrse of such treatment* merely encourages a slothful action* of tbo digestive organs, and : causes them to become gradually weaker and less capabldTof porforinirig'their duty,, just; m 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 and intestines refuse to act. except under such irritating stimulation. ■ The only rational and permanent cure for indigestion is to create Stick a of the blood that each 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 stomach and intestines will perform their work as a matter of course. When the blood is laden with uric acid and other urinary and biliary poisons it cannot adequately absorb food, and makes but a feeble attempt to do so. Warner's Safe Cure 1^ nbt a purgative medicine. It permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply becnuse it restores the liver and 'kidneys, to health and activity, so that tho blood naturally becomes free from urinary and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutriment freely. Nutriment is then conveyed by the blood to tbe nerves throughout the body. Tho nerves of the digestive organs being properly nourished, the organs are m a condition to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided m her efforts to preserve a balance m tbe manifold and complex processes of waste and renewal by which life is maintained. . ■■ Remember, constipation or irregularity of the bowels must bo overcome. Warner's Safe Pills should, therefore, also be taken'in sufficient quantities to ensure one free movement daily, . ■ ■ • ■'■■' ■'- '".. ; . Do hot overload the stomach.
