We exercise too little, eat little fruit, and our food is too fine —too rich. V v simply can't have our ten yards of bowels clogged up. liver choked with sour bile and stomach full of foul effete matter and feel well. It means that the food and xvaste retained in the stomach and 30 feet of bowels ferments— decays. • The decay creates poisons, gases and acids, and those poisons are sucked into the blood through the very ducts in tended to suck in the nutriment.
