Secrets of Good Digestion.
Few people seem to appreciate what
aboon and a blessing are a healthy
stomach and a sharp appetite.
Indigestion is not in itself a disease
sof the stomach any more than a cough
is a disease of the lungs. Both are
merely symptosis, and before you can
hope to get rid of these symptoms you
must first of all discover what the
underlying disease is, and cure that.
We will define indigestion as inability
of the stomach and its allied digestive
organs to deal efficiently with the
food put into them.
The process of digestion really be-
gins in the mouth, whenduring masti-
cation the saliva is churned up with
the food, acting as a digestive juice
on the starchy elements, which are
there and then turned into sugar,
which farther on hi the tube is easily
absorbed into the system. The saliva
has no action on lean of meats or
fats of any kind. These move on,
broken up, of course, by the teeth,
Until they reaeh the stomach.
Here the food is subjected to a
temperature of about 98 deg. F., is
churned and mixed well with the gas-
tric juice, and the meatiest or most
meat -like portions of the meal are
changed into substances more easily
absorbed later. It is very doubtful if
even absorption takes place to any
extent in the stomach. The gastric
juice liberates the fat from the meat,
etc. The meat itself is broken up into
fibres and small bits. The special ac-
tion of the stomach, then, is on meat
only, and that constitutes the smallest
part of any reasonable meal.
All the other portions of the meal,
everything beyond the meat, is com-
pletely digested and absorbed only in
the intestines. And the stomach gets
all the credit for the good work!
When the work, however, is badly
done or not done at all, the owner
\EU[AALlIA AND SCRTICA
Caused by Starved Nerves Due'
to Weak, Watery Blood.
People generally think of neuralgia
as a pain in the head or face, but
neuralgia may affect any nerve of the
body. Different names are given to it
when it affects certain nerves. Thus
neuralgia of the sciatic nerve is called
sciatica, but the character of the pain
and the nature of the disease is the
same. The cause is the same, and the
remedy, to be effective, must be the
same. The pain of neuralgia, whether
it takes the form of sciatica, or wheth-
er it affects the face and head, 1s
caused by starved nerves. The blood,
which normally carries nourishment
to the nerves, for some reason no long-
er
onger does so and the excruciating pain
you feel is the cry of the starved
nerves for food. The reason why the
blood fails to properly nourish the
nerves is usually because the blood it-
self is weak and thin.
When you build up the thin blood
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, you are
attacking neuralgia, sciatica and kin-
dred diseases at the root. As proof
of the value of these pills in cases of
this kind we give the statement of
Mrs. Thomas McGuire, North Malden,
Ont., who says: "I have been a severe
sufferer from sciatica, which attacked
the sciatic nerve in the left leg. At
times the pain was most excruciating
and as a result of the trouble there
was a distinct shrivelling of the leg. I
could only bobble about by using a
cane, and if I attempted to walk to
the fields I would have to sit down
every little while to ease the agony
I felt. I was under medical treat-
ment, but as there was no improve-
ment shown, I was getting very des-
pondent, as the trouble was affecting
my general health. Finally a friend
advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink
Pils and i decided to do so. I took the
pills faithfully for several months,
finding a gradual and increasing im-
provement in my case, until finally
every vestige of the trouble had gone.,

manure is being done more and more
by progressive farmers, because it is
of greater value as fertilizer when it
is spread fresh. If this can be done
weekly, the larvae are exposed to the

here is that during the busy season
the men find this one of the easiest

sauce and takes less sugar than when
it is stewed. A little lemon juice, or
the yellow peel of a lemon may be
added as a flavor.

Fighting the Fly.
The following resolves, if rigidly

The other kink is the use of cylinder
oil for oiling some kinds of machinery.
A. neighbor had a mowing machine
that was worn pretty badly on the
pitman bearing. It heated so much
that he could hardly finish the mow-
ing. I happened to be near and put
come heavy automobile cylinder oil on
the bearing. He started out again
and had almost no trouble the rest
of the time. This oil is meant for a
heated job and that niay be why it
^tsps so effectual in this case.
