The Significance of
A Poor Appetite
Good Digestion Usually Produces a
Good, Healthy Appetite for Sub
stantial, Nutritious Food.
In nearly all cases of good keen ap
petite, and a hearty relish for food
are significant of good health and in
dicative of a strong digestion—one
which is capable of handling properly
all of the food eaten, so that the per
son will not be annoyed for hours after
each meal with bloating sensations, a
feeling of weight in the epigastric re
gion, sour eructations, heartburn and
waterbrash.
Practically every one is aware of
the fact that if the appetite fails for
any length of time, the strength and
energy -wane considerably, and the
blood and nerves are appreciably af
fected, the condition of the one indi
cating anaemia, or thin blood, and of
the other, neurasthenia, or nervous
exhaustion. Then follow such symp
toms as want of enrgy, “that tired
feeling,” a state of languor, lassitude
and weariness, together with melan
cholia and despondency.
A good hearty appetite usually indi
cates a good, healthy digestion, though
of course, there are exceptions to this
rule, for example, as in diabetes, or in
bulimia, conditions in which the appe
tite is tremendous, in fact, downright
ravenous, and can not be satisfied no
matter how much food may be eaten.
The “exaggerated appetites” of these
diseases are just as unnatural, and
just as sure indications of stomach dis
order, either directly or indirectly, as
is anorexia, or loss of appetite.
In ninety-eight cases out of a hun
dred, however, a large, hearty, capa
cious appetite means a good, active
condition of the stomach, a healthy,
powerful digestion, an excellent ab
sorption and assimilation, so that
when the appetite is lost it may be cor
rectly assumed that the stomach is at
fault and needs attention.
STUART’S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
are wonderfully powerful tonic-stimu
lants to the “hunger nerves” of the
stomach, and secretory glands of the
alimentary canal generally, and they
greatly increase the appetite, and pro
mote the flow of the natural digestive
juices, so that in a brief time the
stomach is restored to a natural and
physiological condition, which then en
ables it to perform its functions with
out outside assistance, and the im
mensely improved appetite remains
permanently good.
These tablets act first as a digestive
secernent, which means that they
stimulate the secretion of the gastric,
pancreatic and other digestive fluids,
while in the second place they are also
power digestives of all kinds of food
themselves, and this rare and happy
combination, acting in unison restores
the stomach to its natural condition,
supplies the blood with well-digested
food for the reconstruction of the gen
eral system, and also whets a “keen
edge” on the appetite.
If your appetite is poor and diges
tion weak, purchase a box of Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets from your druggist
for 50c, and both conditions will be
speedily cured. They furnish the only
sure way of acquiring a good appetite
and to thoroughly digest afterward all
that is eaten. A free sample will he

VOICES OF YOUTH
CONDUCTED BY THE EDITOR.
| 'GIVE US OUR WORK” |
‘Bessie Estelle Ha) bey. B
“Give us our work’” impatiently we
cry,
“In the broad field of earth’s activity
We' want a place, a purpose for our
life,
A noble aim to give us strength in
strife!”
“Give us our work!” comes from a
hundred throats
Os earnest youth. The air rings with
the notes.
Each one has yet his own life-work to
find.
This thought is ever foremost in the
mind.
“Give us our work!” and yet on every
hand
We hear the cry for help, a vast de
mand
For noble hearts to make the daily
task
A heaven-sent duty. Need we other
ask?
CHAT.
I WONDER how many of my young
readers, or old ones either as for
that, have ever had an experience
like the one that has come into the life
of a dear girl I am going to tell you
about, and more than all, I question
the probability of many of us having
the true bravery to do what this girl
has done. Read the story and answer
the question in your own heart, could
I, would I have been that brave, that
honest, for the sake of the Master?
One morning, more than ten years
ago now, a little woman whom I know,
had dropped down in the living room
to rest a bit from a round of duties
that had somewhat tried her strength,
when a woman very plainly dressed
came up the steps and introduced her
self. The face was one you would not
soon forget, for between the lines, as it
were, of a firm determined will, you
could read that kind of mother love
that has stood behind so many of our
nation’s heroes, and fought in the
plain, every day battles of the farm
life to keep her children in school,
where they could prepare themselves
to meet, as she had not been able to in
a broader, stronger way, the opportu
nities for serving humanity.
"Hence,” said my friend, “I was not
surprised when I learned her mission
was to arrange some way by which her
limited means would put three bright
ambitious children in school. The ar
rangements were made and by the clos
est possible economy these children
were kept in school until the two older,
a fine hard working boy and bright
heroic little girl, graduated. They

The Golden Age for November 18, 1909.
"Give us our work!” Thus do we often
pray,
And, reaching for the stars, go on our
way,
While just beneath our feet fair jew
els lie
1 hat in our haste, unheeding, we pass
by.
‘Give us our work!” let us no longer
say,
But, knowing whom we trust, begin
each day
To do the duty next as our life task.
The blessing comes—though we have
ceased to ask;
Give us our work!" The Heavenly Fa
ther knows
Just when his child the needed fitness
shows
For greater work prepared for him to
do,
And in the Father’s time shall we
know, too.
worked as only the children of that
kind of mother could, and they won.
But it is one of my hobbies always,
that satan never leaves an opportunity
unused, to steal in on a weak point in
our natures and poison them, even
though it be ever so little; and though
in the greater things we are strong.
And this is why I am giving you the
story as ’twas given me, that it may
help some one of my little circle to
watch for the ‘Little Foxes,’ that nib
ole at the root of the vine, when we
forget to watch.”
A few days ago this friend of mine
leceived a letter from the girl whom
she had tried to help as best she could
in those years of struggle; and who
is now a missionary in far away China.
For the sake of the help it might be
to young souls who really want to
make their lives pure, she has con
sented to let. me give you the letter,
withholding the names —may it bear
fruit in His name that will increase
many times the reward of the dear
consecrated girl, who could thus bear
her heart and empty it of all sin that
her Savior might come in and dwell
where there was no hidden sin.
The letter follows:
‘‘My Dear Mrs. :
“During the last few days God has
shown me there were things hidden in
my lite, done years ago, that I’ve never

His spirit, and called me to a special

brought to light hidden things, and
made me glad to do anything to

years of service and blessing, this
has never been presented to me to
