TnTitiea, “WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH EVERYBODY?” Hardly a J X person of forty escapes having something the matter with him these days. • L If your strength is failing, if you tire easily and do not sleep well, if you have £ • to force yourself to walk, if you are discouraged and you lack ambition, you q a should at once realize the serious meaning of all these things. Such a condi- tion will not correct itself, you will go from bad to worse. If you do not help ® your system by ceasing to combine your foods so they explode, causing internal • bases which press on vital organs thus giving you poor circluation. J The speaker will point out what foods wrongly combined cause constipa- • tion and the same food otherwise combined give freedom from constipation. ® Prof. McFerrin shows just what foods are helpful in kidney trouble, in lung • 9 trouble and how malaria may be kept out of the system by eating a predomi- a A nance of certain foods. a. a He also will point out certain dangerous food combinations, which lead to • a bronchitis, nervousness, catarrh, rheumatism, hay fever, acid stomach, etc. a, a Also point out the reason some people are eternally coughing, having coughs a • and colds all winter long. a a Certain foods are like certain dogs, they either snarl at each other or wag a a their tails—sometimes there is a fight. After combining foods with no intelli- a £ gence, whatever, for forty years, a man begins to realize that there have been a too many dog fights in his stomach and many times when he is of must use to himself and the boss, he is asked to “hand over his job.” How tragic, J W, when all he needed was a little knowledge! £ Prof- McFerrin’s lectures are as humorous as they are instructive; you will a surely enjoy the evening.

The bloom of health is in his cheek and he i> radiant with w, ® personal magnetism. -5 # a He attributes his wonderful present condition to a thorough understand- J a ing of food vitamines and the proper combinations of foods, and to submit- V, ting to a frequent medical examination, so that he may be aware at any of any impairment of internal organs and rectify the matter before it is too late. a* W It is shameful how many people allow themselves to go on the HUMAN ‘gh • SCRAP HEAP BEFORE THEY WILL SEE THEIR PHYSIQIAN J The able gentleman is sponsored by the Fort Meade Mothers’ Club, and a w his coming is looked forward to with great interest by our citizens.
