    men, by using them can digest their food. It is a remedy which suits all temperaments and all constitutions. The superiority of ‘ Eno’s Digestive Granules’ over all other remedies may be thus summarised: The preparation acts as gastric juice, and aids the natural gastric juice to digest and clear away the food from the stomach, and at night allows that organ to rest before renewing its labours. The stomach, like the general muscular system, needs periods of repose.* It insures complete assimilation of food and more perfect or better blood; for the quality of one’s blood depends materially on the thorough working into pabulum of all the substances taken into the stomach. As a sequence, it takes so much less food, as the process of digestion is much more complete. And this view is borne out by two facts, that, other things being equal, persons accustomed to eat four meals a day have gained flesh after changing from four to three, by the use of 1 Eno’s Digestive Granules.’ Others, by the use of the Granules, have found two meals a superfluity. The author is satisfied that at least one-third of the food usually eaten by persons is not made into blood, and that Diarrhoea, Fluxes, Dysentery, and many other intestinal affections, are induced under the failure of the assimilative system to dispose of the nutriment which Dyspeptics have passed into their stomachs. 1 Eno’s Digestive Granules’ establish reciprocal action between brain and stomach if the person is a thinker, or between the muscular system and the stomach if the person is a worker, and the stomach of each class is allowed a full measure of digestive power, without antagonism. ‘ Eno’s Digestive Granules’ are a mild elementary medicine, pre¬ pared in accordance with the science of organic chemistry; their pur¬ pose is to supply vitality to the enfeebled system. They restore the digestion, and develop a healthy appetite. Being articles eminently suited in every way as restoratives, they establish and increase the vital energy. So marvellous is their power, that they can digest food without the aid of a stomach at all. The ‘ Digestive Granules’ do not conceal any deleterious sub¬ stances, they are perfectly innocuous in their nature, and are directed to be taken with food in the same way as you would take salt; their action is as simple as salt, but more powerful, and can never do harm any case. As life resembles an oil lamp, and digestion gives the oil, which comes from food, so do the 4 Granules’ induce and support the healthy action of the stomach, and summon all its energies to supply the fuel of vitality. * Always retire to rest early; the Pope’s hour is the hest—10 p.m.
