His Theory That the Stomach Is the Cause of Ninety Per Cent of All ill Health is Being Verified Every Day. John Pomeroy, the remurkable New Zealander, who is now visiting Macon and attracting so much at¬ tention by bis novel theories, thinks that civilized man lacks common sense. Pomeroy claims that most ill health is due to stomach disorders caued by improper living and eating. When seen at his Macon headquar¬ ters, he said: •» While modern conditions have a heap to do with people being sickly looking, tired, thin and pale ali the time, lack of using common sense can be blamed equally as much. “It is impossible always to lead the active outdoor life nature de¬ mands. It is impossible for many to exercise the body sufficiently to make the gastric juices wholly ac¬ tive and virile. It is impossible to spend as much time as we should in the fresh air and sunshine. It is al¬ so impossible for us to get absolute¬ ly fresh vegetable food all the time, and this, more than anything else, is the cause of so many undernour¬ ished and yellowish, sickly-looking people. But it is possible to treat the stomach, already weakening by these mistakes, with at least a little consideration. M If people thought half as much of their stomachs as they do their pocketbooks, there wouldn't be so much sickness here. ‘If we would sit down quietly to a plain, common sense meal, eat slow¬ ly, and chew every mouthful thor¬ oughly, und then give it time to di¬ gest and be assimilated into the blood to nourish the system, there MARSHALLVILLE Miss Claude Ware is visiting rel¬ atives in Macon. + * * Miss Mary Williamson, of Verbena, Ala., is the guest of Mrs, W.

The subject »tudy being French literature, j wouldn’t be »o many complaining, droopy, listless and fretful men and women. But we don’t; we are a na t.j on 0 f bolters. We bolt our food and expect our stomachs to do the work our teeth were intended for. In consequence, we ure becoming a nu Lion of chronic dyseptica and rheuma¬ tics. “Our forefathers gave us two things--first, a glorious land with unlimited resources and opportuni¬ ties; second, a sound constitution with good, healthy digestive organs. We fought to keep the first intact and free, but we’re letting the sec¬ ond go to ruin. u The amount of half-chewed, has¬ tily eaten food the average person stuffs into himself during the day is positively wicked. Then, when he feels dull and nervous he wonders what’s the mater and imagines he has heart trouble, or insomnia, or goodness knows what. There is just one thing the matter with him. He has abused the one organ of his body which is most essential to good health—the stomach—and until the gastric juices in his stomach per¬ form their functions as they should, all the doctors and medicines in the world will not make him well and robust. “The other day a man well known over this section came to me and said: ‘From what a friend toils me about your medicine, Puratone, 1 think it will help me. At least I am willing to give it a trial. But, sus posing it does get my stomach in shape, how long will it last?’ I simply said: ‘If you begin taking Puratone right now, at the end of a few days your food should be digest¬ ing perfectly once more. But, if you continue to act like a fool, *•> far as what you eat and the way you eat it is concerned, you will be right back where you are now inside of six months.’ H What I said to this man can be applied to thousands just like hnn all over the country. ff was given Wednesday by Mrs. Geo.
