"The taste is the direct guide to the stomach: and the taste buds are con nected by the nerves with the stom ach Itself, so that they represent its health or disorder. If the stomach or its Juices are out of tone, the blood is fermented bv a change In the alkaline or acid condition, and these reach the moiitit both directly and Indirectly. "The taste buds are in the tongue, and are mounted by hair-like projec tions called papillae: they cover the surface of the tongue. "When you taste these buds rise up and absorb the liquid; Inform the nerves: the nerves tell the stomach, and the food la . acceptable or not. Just as the stomach feels." The above remarks on taste come from an eminent authority and sim ply explains why, when one smells cooking or sees food one thinks he can eat. but when he tastes he learns the stomach Is out of business.

Most men wait until their stomachs are completely sickened before they think seriously of assisting nature. When your taste for food is lost It Is a certain sign the stomach needs attention.
