8 RATIONAL INDIGESTION CURE.

By "Sano.” Food must be eaten in sufficieni quantity, and must be digested, and bo converted into blood. Xatun makes this one of bcr most imperative laws of life. During the proccsi of digestion food is entirely changed in composition by the action of tin juices of the internal organs through which ft passes. In the mouth it itho roughly mixed with the saliva Then it is swallowed, and enters tin stomach, where it is acted upon b;, the gastric juices, and becomes part l.y liquified. From the stomach ii 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 tire blood. The indigestible portion of the food i■lfschiirged into the larger intestine, whence it is in turn expelled from tinbody together with other refuse matter.

Just as certainly as that it is necessary to life that food must bo absorbed, so, likewise, is it essential that the blood must bo in a condition to absorb the- food. Torpidity of the hvei is the chief cause of nearly every ease of indigestion, and when the liver is torpid tho _kidney© aro generally sympathetically affected. The blood, which should he transformed, cleansed, and filtered by the kidneys and liver, then contains uric and. biliary poisons, and is therefore a feeble absorbent 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 duo to this cause.

The blood must be continuously purified by the action of the liver and kidneys, or good digestion cannot be expected to occur. Many sufferers from indigestion obtain temporary relied by eating predigested foods or taking medicines, such as pepsin, which act as digestives 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 exorcise becomes inoapable of responding to any demand for exertion. Other sutfercj-s irritate the 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 suck a condition of the blood that each corpuscle becomes hungry for food, and ready and eager to absorb it. The digestive seciretioncs will then respond to the demands of the blood, and the stomach and intestines will perform their work its 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 indigestion and dyspepsia, simply because it restores the liver and kidneys to health and activity, so that the blood naturally becomes free from urio and biliary poisons, and ravenous to absorb nutriment freely. Nutriment is then conveyed by tho blood to tko nerves throughout tho body. The norvee of the digestive organs being properly nourished, tho organs are in a condition to do their work efficiently. Nature is merely aided in her effort© to preserve a balanco iu 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 tho medicine is -now issued at 3s 6d per bottle. Warner’s Safe Cure (Concentrated) is not compounded with alooliol, and contains tho same number of doses as tho 5s bottle of Warner’s Safe Cure. H. H. Warner and Co., Limited, Melbourne, Vic. r

Ihe general public is fortunately seldom concerned about the question of railway brakes in New Zealand (says a Wellington paper). Effective and speedy breaking is almost the chief factor in conducting a safe and efficient service, and it "is duo to a well organised system of inspection ■and upkeep that we seldom, if ever, hear of brake failures. The quick acting West-in gliotise brake is fitted to all the rolling stock on the Auckland, Wellington-Nupier-Xcw Plymouth and Hurunui-Bhiff sections, and every vehicle is regularly examined withoutwaiting until defects develop. An inspector has just been apixmited in the Railway Department whose duty it will be to test by actual observation the efficiency of the Westinghouse in operation, and railway men's methods of handling it.-As a similar-official has been engaged for some time in the South Island, the whole, system is now completely supervised, while in addition. the Westingliouse Company, or its own expense, employs experts With a roving commission to observe liow the installation is working, and to instruct raihvayjaeu iu its use,.
