Friday, October 9
Look to the Bowel.
"At least two-thirds of all sickness is due to the decomposition or fermentation of food waste in the alimentary canal,as a result of which toxic bodies are formed that set up one diseased condition or another, either locally by irritating the mucosa, or remotely, through being absored into the blood-stream and then acting as direct poisons to every body tissue." When we stop to think how many people over-eat and under-excerise in these strenuous days, it is easy to belive this.
Weather a fine day John went are Eugenes all day,I was home alone,doing up {illegible} and walking lureet and grape wine.
