the sourness of mouth every morning
makes you hate your breakfast, when
dreams and nightmare assails you, don't
give up the fight.
This la the appeal of nature, and It
should be heard.
Over-eating, late suppers, poorly chewed
food, too rich pastries and under-done
cooking are aome of the causes of the
