Chapter V: Part 5

If the digestive process is unduly delayed by overloading the stomach, or by drinking much at meal-times so as to dilute the gastric juice, fermentation, flatulence and impaired health are likely to result. Raw sugar if taken very freely with starch foods is also apt to produce fermentation.

It is a mistake to mix acid fruits and vegetables by eating them together at the same meal. Fermentation is often thus caused, as vegetables take a long time to digest. A very safe rule to observe, and one which would save many from physical discomfort and suffering, is this--only eat fruits which are palatable in the natural uncooked state. Before Man invented the art of cooking, he must have followed this rule.

Those who suffer from dyspepsia will, in most instances, derive benefit by taking two meals a day instead of three--or at any rate by substituting a cup of coffee or of hot skimmed milk and a few brown biscuits for the third meal. Hard workers are the only persons who can really get hungry three times a day, and we ought not to take our meals without "hunger sauce." Fruit alone, for the third meal is better still.

The last meal of the day should not be taken after seven o'clock at night. Disturbed rest and the habit of dreaming are an almost certain indication of errors in diet having been committed, or of this rule having been infringed.

Probably the most valuable prescription ever given to a patient was that given by Dr. Abernethy to a wealthy dyspeptic, "Live on sixpence a day and earn it."

Constipation can nearly always be cured by adding stewed figs, French plums, salads, etc., to one's menu, by eating brown instead of white bread, and by taking less proteid food.

Tea is detrimental to many persons. The tannin contained in it toughens albuminous food, and is liable to injure the sensitive lining of the stomach. China tea is the least harmful.

[Sidenote: =Rest after Meals.=]

Those who work their brains or bodies actively, immediately after a solid meal, simply invite dyspepsia. The vital force required for digestion is diverted and malnutrition follows. The deluded business-man who "cannot spare the time" for a short rest or stroll after lunch, often damages his constitution and finds that he has been "penny wise and pound foolish."

If the brain or body has been severely taxed, an interval of rest should be secured before food is taken. It is not _what we eat_ that nourishes us, but _what we are able to assimilate_. Recreation, occasional amusement, and an interest in life are necessary. Thousands of women die from monotony and continuous domestic care; multitudes of men succumb to mental strain and incessant business anxiety. Chronic dyspeptics should reflect on these facts.

Abstainers from animal-food who get into any difficulty about their diet should seek advice from those who have experience, or should consult a fruitarian physician. The local names and addresses of doctors who both practice and advise this simple and natural system of living, will be supplied upon application to the Hon. Secretary of The Order of the Golden Age. Such are increasing in number every month.

[Sidenote: =Physical Vitality.=]

The human body is a storage battery consisting of millions of cells in which the vital electricity that produces health, and makes life enjoyable, is accumulated.

Every manifestation of physical and mental power depends upon the force stored up in this battery. The more fully charged the cells the higher the voltage, and, consequently, the greater the physical vitality and power. This voltage is always fluctuating. Expenditure of force lessens it; recuperation, through rest, sleep, the in-breathing of oxygen, and the assimilation of vital uncooked food increases it.

Fruits, nuts, and root vegetables contain electrical potency--they will deflect the needle of a highly sensitive Kelvin galvanometer. But when cooked, their vital electricity is destroyed--they become _lifeless_, like flesh-food.

The accumulation of vital force is a possibility if natural and vital food is selected.

[Sidenote: =The Great Healer.=]

All the medicines in the world are as the small dust of the balance, potentially, when weighed against this Life-force--which "healeth all our diseases and redeemeth our life from destruction." Its therapeutic phenomena are truly wonderful.

When our bodies are invaded by malevolent microbes, the defensive corpuscles within us, if in fit condition, destroy them. But if not fed with those elements which are needful for their sustenance, they soon "run down"--just as we ourselves get "below par." We are then liable to become the prey of those ceaseless microscopic enemies that are ever ready to pounce upon the unfit.

If our corpuscles are weaker than the invading foes, no drugs can save us--we are doomed. Hence the importance of keeping ourselves and our nerve centres well charged and in vigorous condition.

[Sidenote: =How to Accumulate Vitality.=]

To accumulate vitality our food must contain all the chemical elements which we need. None must be permanently omitted. If, for instance, we entirely exclude organic phosphorus from the food of a man of great intellect, he will, in due time, be reduced to imbecility. This is obtained in such foods as cheese, milk, wholemeal bread, peas, apples, strawberries, and bananas.

We must live by _method_, and take some trouble. Nature's greatest gift is not to be obtained without thought or effort. We must eat, breathe, and live wisely; and the closer to Nature we get, the better it will be for us.

The habit of deep breathing, like that of living much in the open air, yields important results. The atmosphere consists of oxygen and nitrogen--the very elements of which our bodies are chiefly constructed. Life and vigour _can be inhaled_, but few persons have learnt the art.

Cheerfulness tends to promote the assimilation of food. Exercise--of an intelligent and healthful sort--is needful to make the life-current pulsate through our tissues. Without it our organs do not get properly nourished and rebuilt: stiffness and atrophy set in. Worry and care must be banished, and unwise or excessive expenditure of nerve force avoided; for these things deplete the human storage battery of its vitality.

Mankind is slowly gaining greater knowledge of vital, mental, and spiritual truth. Ultimately, "Life more abundant" will become the heritage of the many instead of the few.

Self-emancipation from weakness and disability is an achievement that will repay much effort on the part of each one of us; and we can all render beneficent social service by exemplifying the art of living wisely.

By promoting hygienic and humane education, we can prevent much suffering, and greatly increase the sum of happiness in this world!

=THE CANCER SCOURGE=
=and How to Destroy it.=

By ROBERT BELL, M.D., F.R.F.P.S.

_Price_ ONE SHILLING _Net (post free 1/2)._

The latest pronouncement by this eminent Cancer Specialist on the most terrible disease of our times.

* * * * *

This book is written by a Physician who has witnessed many cures of advanced cases of Cancer, and who speaks from the standpoint of forty years' experience.

It contains 20 Art Plates, illustrating diagnoses from the Blood when highly magnified, and proves by these object lessons the curability of Cancer and the efficacy of treatment by Fruitarian Diet and Radium.

A FEW PRESS OPINIONS.

"It is ... interesting and suggestive ... and it deserves a wide
circulation."--_Manchester Courier._

"Every year, in England and Wales, 30,000 people die of
Cancer--all of which deaths are preventible. Dr. Bell's methods of
preventing them are clearly and forcibly given, once again, in
this little book."--_Daily Mirror._

"The wide prevalence of this terrible disease demands that
attention should be given to all endeavours to destroy it, and Dr.
Bell is an authority whose words should be carefully studied and
acted upon."--_Northern Whig._

"This interesting little treatise is an able presentation of the
natural method of dealing with Cancer."--_Two Worlds._

"Dr. Bell is strongly of opinion that the Scourge is amenable to
cure, and his remedy is the use of Radium in conjunction with a
special kind of Fruitarian Diet. When one considers that every
known remedy of the past has failed and that this suggested cure
has no revolting methods, such as the knife of the surgeon, it
should certainly receive the attention it merits."--_American
Register._

"The book should be worth reading to those interested in the
subject."--_Irish News._

"He (Dr. Bell) deems 'dietetic purification essential,' and
explains his system, and it must be acknowledged that he is backed
by very strong evidence, which he gives. His little volume is
worthy of the closest consideration by all
concerned."--_Letchworth Citizen._

=The Rise of the Wholemeal Biscuit=

and especially of "Ixion" Biscuits into popular favour is a good sign of the times. There is a great demand for wholemeal bread and so-called standard bread just now, but

=GOOD BISCUITS ARE BETTER THAN THE BEST BREAD.=

The wise Food-Reformer prefers wholemeal biscuits to bread because they not only give much-needed work to the teeth but induce the flow of saliva and so assist the digestive organs most materially.

="IXION BISCUITS"= are made from the finest wheat most finely ground by our own stone mills. =They are altogether free from yeast and all chemical adulterants= and preservatives (including salt).

They are ideal food for growing children, as they contain everything needed for good blood, bone, muscle, and nerve. The following may be obtained at all Health Food Stores, or will be sent direct at prices quoted.

="IXION" WHOLE WHEAT BISCUITS.= Rich in proteids, and the valuable phosphates of the wheat, 7 lbs., =3/3=; 14 lbs., =5/6=; 28 lbs., =10/-=, carriage paid.
