Unable to Digest
THE FOOD
The digestive system is a wonderful piece
of machinery, but piper is necessary to make
it elective.
The power, in this case, is the nerve force
and with the nerves exhausted the digestive
system becomes hopelessly crippled. There is
indigestion, headaches, neuralgic pains and spells
of weakness, dizziness and discouragement.
