THE FIRST STEP
Usually the first indication of a
lowering of health is found in the
bowels and liver. Something goes
wrong-we eat too much, or work
too 'hard-and the bow'el action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with bad taste, a slight
headache, dull *es--all show that
food has fermp ted in the intes
