THE STOMACH NOT TO BLAME.
By Daniel Harvey Kress
A PATIENT once said to his physician, "Doctor, I believe there is something wrong with my stomach." "Not a bit of it," replied the doctor. "God made your stomach, and He knows how to make stomachs. There may be something wrong with the stuff you put into it or something wrong with the way you stuff it in and cram it down; but your stomach is all right." Another patient said, "The stomach has come to be a curse to the human family." This man evidently longed for an iron-clad stomach, devoid of nerves. The truth is, the stomach is not the offender; like every other involuntary organ, it is under the direct and constant control of its Maker. Like every other organ, it has a specific work to do, and will do that work faithfully and well, without pain or inconvenience, providing it is properly treated.—D. H.
