8 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 ocf the juices of the internal organs through which it passes. __ In the mouth it i? 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. From 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 tlie blood. Hha indigestible portion of the food is discharged into the larger intestine, whence it is in turn expelled from the body together uith other refuse matter. •Just as certainly as that it is neces■ury 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 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 absorbeuit 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 aiid physical depression which is experienced duiing an attack of dyspepsia, is due to this cause. The blood must be continuously purified b,y the action of the liver amd kidneys, or good digestion cannot bo expected to occur. 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 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 tlie 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 air' ■>'•- eint 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 secretions will then respond to the. demands of the blood, and the stomach and intestines will perform tiieir 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 iudigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores tlie 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 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. 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 2s 9d bottles of Warner's Safe Cure, a concentrated form of the medicine is now issued at 2s 6d per bottle. Warner's Safe Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alcohol, and contains the same number of dosea as the 5s bottle of Warner's Safe Cure. H. 11. Warner and Co., Limited,, Melbourne, Vic.
