COMMON CAUSES OF INDIGESTION.

AND THE TONIC METHOD OF CURE.

Many doctors are agreed that the habit of eating and drinking simultaneously, is a: prolific cause of Indigestion, the reason being that the gastric juice, un- duly diluted, fails to do its work efficiently. Undoubtedly, too, the injudicious use of alcohol with meals distresses the stomach and retards digestive processes. Much of the liver disorder, 80 common in the Far Eust, is due rather to cocktails and liqueurs than to the climate.

The secret to good digestion is to eat and drink only those things which you know from And experienco agree with you. im your efforts to restere to digestion healthy normaly a which has ceased to function is constantly properly and causing you trouble and pain, do not resort to the use of strong purgative pills or enfeebling laxative waters, but get right to the root of the trouble by giving renewed strength to the stomach by means of tonic treatment-
