ONE OF NATURE’S FIRST LAWS

Digestive Organs Must Ge Given Time to Do Their Work if Good Health Is Desired. A certain fundamental law of nature If it were written out would read: Thou shalt not eat any manner of food until that which thou didst eat aforetime shall have been fully digested. And he that eateth before his peptlo glands are ready shall pay the penalty. I The law is mandatory. Although I do not find It written “in the tables of the law” as one as the ten commandments, yet It is written among the laws of nature, and judgments innumerable have been rendered sustaining It. The underlying principle is that the operation of digestion is not a continuous performance. What boots it when or how a law was given, as long as it contains the steam-roller truth? Many an unfortunate who had Ignorantly or thoughtlessly violated this law has been rolled out into a thin layer of uncomfortable indolence or groaning incapacity.
