Is more common than we may think, if
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fasten the came glut
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact of this
pluttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach become dis
eased. The popular term for the condi
tion is " weak " stomach. The " weak "
stomach fails in furnishing' adequate nu
trition for the body, and soon the " weak
ness spreads from the stomach to oter
organ.

organ of digestion and nutrition. It
enable the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
of the body is maintained.

the city for medical service or medicine.
On sccount of these objections made by
Miller the claim of Dr. Schirfuel was placed
