THE STOMACH — The American Stomach! — Its Disorders and 

 How to Cure Them. By J. H. Kellogg, M. D. The wooclchuck has 

 fourteen stomachs, the whale seven, the cow four, that they may digest the various 

 non-digestibles crammed into the ONE poor little sagging, lagging pouch of the 

 strenuous American and numerous other people. 



Any wonder that some have fits ? — fits of indigestion ? Did you ever wonder 

 why your flabby, worn-out food-pocket can not take care of ALL the foodstuffs 

 which nature apportioned separately to the specially prepared digestive machinery 

 of the meat-eating dog, the fruit-eating monkey, the grass-eating cow, the fish- 

 eating whale, and the fowls of the air with their gizzard food-grinders necessary 

 for all creatures lacking the means of mastication or the sense to utilize it? Bet- 

 ter learn how you are made and what for before the machinery stops because the 

 Bteam fails because the fuel was designed for other kinds of boilers I 



A million dollars would be given gladly by hundreds of millionaires for a good 

 stomach. How much will you give? GIVE A LITTLE TIME to keep it good if 

 it is good, or to restore it if "playing out." Next thing to a fool is the "brainy 

 man" who "would not give a trifle to prevent what he would give a thousand 

 worlds to cure." Chinese proverb: "Most men dig their graves with their teeth." 

 Scotch proverb: "Diet cures more than doctors." 



Wordsworth says, "Come forth into the light of things. Let Nature be your 

 teacher." "Good!" you say. But don't stop there. "Come forth into the light!" 

 What light ? Light of scientific investigation by one whose life has been devoted 

 to the study of "THE STOMACH: ITS DISORDERS AND HOW TO CURB 

 THEM." "Let Nature be your teacher" through acquaintance with Nature or else 

 through one who knows her methods. Had you done this years ago, your stom- 

 ach would be all right. Being "out of whack," begin your long neglected study 

 now — nowl No man ever plunged over the falls of Dyspepsia who took warning 

 at the first disturbing ripples of approaching disaster. 



The special opportunities offered the superintendent of the Battle Creek Sani- 

 tarium in the research laboratories connected with the institution have enabled 

 him to make a most exhaustive study of this subject; and he presents in this work 

 the result of more than thirty years' investigation and experience in the treatment 

 of the various forms of the disease commonly known as "dyspepsia," explaining the 

 process of digestion, composition of foods, causes and symptoms of indigestion, 

 varieties of dyspepsia, and the practical application of home remedies, including 

 over twenty carefully prepared diet lists.

SCIENCE IN THE KITCHEN, by Mrs. E. E. Kellogg. The vital top'c 



of victuals treated scientifically and completely. A compendium of food substances 

 and their dietetic properties, with practical explanations of the principles of health- 

 ful cookery. 



You hear by the scientific telephone; you see by the scientific electric light; 

 you move by the scientific motor car; but you eat the same old unscientific pie- 

 crust and drink the same old unscientific poisons that killed your ancestors: things 

 that a cow could not digest; things that a horse could not work on. 



Uncle Sam can tell us all about foods and their preparation to make hens lay 

 eggs, cows give milk, horses speedy and enduring, hogs fat, etc., etc., but not a 

 word about improvement of human efficiency by scientific diet, the very first essen- 

 tial to national health. 



At last one of Uncle Sam's daughters, wearied by the old man's ignorance and 

 indifference on the vital topic of human victuals, has given us "SCIENCE IN 

 THE KITCHEN." Science is simply the discovery of Nature's laws. The best 

 combinations of food substances and the best forms of preparation for easy assim- 

 ilation, is the most needed of all scientific knowledge. 



Frances Willard said, "The kitchen is often the vestibule of the saloon.' Hor- 

 ace Mann said, "A dyspeptic stomach is an abomination to the Lord." Frederick 

 the Great said, "The seat of courage is the stomach." Talmage said, "Many a 

 Christian is trying to do by prayer that which cannot be done except through cor- 



Mrs. ' Kellogg shows why and how the foregoing statements are true. The 

 recipes in her book are nearly all new, developed by herself and her pupils in the 

 Battle Creek Sanitarium Training School of Cookery. Every recipe has been re- 

 peatedly tested. She has made a life-study of dietetics, and her book contains 

 the latest facts relative to the chemistry of foods. Even if you use meats, why not 

 gradually work something better into the home bill of fare for clearer heads and 

 stronger muscles? 



Each chapter opens with a scientific analysis of the various foods considered 

 therein. The first two chapters are on "Foods" and "The Digestion of Foods. 

 The third, "Cookery," shows the danger of bad cookery. The fourth, "The House- 

 hold Workshop," discusses the ideal kitchen and its furnishings. The fifth is "Ce- 

 reals and Their Preparation." Every variety of human food is considered prac- 

 tically as wel' as theoreticaly. Over 500 pages and nearly 100 illustrations. Strong 

 art canvas binding, $2.50.
