RATIONAL INDIGESTION CURE.

By "Sano." Food must be eaten in 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 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 is is .acted upon by the gastric juices, and becomes partly liquified. I'rom the stomach it passes to the smaller intestine—which is about 18 feet in length—and there certain 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 a constituent part of the blood. Tihe indigestiblo 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, aiid when the liver is torpid the kidneys aro 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 absorbeint 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 b,y tihe action of the liver aaid kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected to occur. Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relief by eating predigested foods or taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as diges tives 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 deman-u for exertion. Other sufferers irritate tiie 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 sucha-condition 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 tno blood, and the stomach and intestines will perforin their work as a matter of couis'e. 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 purga- • tive medicine. It* permanently cures indigestion and dyspepsia, simply "because it restores,, the liver and kidneys to health a'lid activity, so that the blood naturally becomes free from uric 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 m 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 2e 9d bottles of Warner's Safe Cure. a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 3s Gd per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure (Concentratedj is not compounded with alcohol, and contains the same number of doses a® the 5s bottle of Warner's &ife Cure. H. H. Warner and Co., Limbed. Melbourne, Vic.
