How to Avoid Stomach Trouble's.
Digestion begins in the stomach.
Food should be thoroughly masti
cated. Your food should be suited
to your age and occupation. People
of sedentary habits should eat little
meat, but should drink an abundance
of water, especially when they first
get up in the morning and between
meals. When you feel dull and
stupid after eating that shows that
you have eaten too much. The bow
els should be kept regular. When
needed take a dose of Chamberlain's
Tablets. They will improve your di
gestion and move the bowels. Adv.
