of gelatine, which it
carries, through the blood, to the parts of the body where it is needed
to rebuild degenerated gelatigenous tissue.

(c). While there are not many special forms of disease of the
gelatigenous tissues, many diseased conditions are more or less
connected with its degeneration. In fact, every layman should be able
to judge the importance of perfect gelatigenous tissue. But how many
human beings ever think of such things. Yet they know very well that a
poor rubber tire on an automobile will not last very long or stand much
strain; for the fact appeals to the pocket book--and that degenerates.

It is well to learn the truth before too late and give, to the rising
generation at least, the chance to which they are surely entitled:--A
good healthy body.

(d). _Dose_: Twice daily, 1 gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful,
or one tablet, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., or as individually prescribed, in
a little water, milk or other foodstuffs, to be taken for a certain
length of time.

CARTILOGEN (CARTILAGE PRODUCER).

(a). Every bone in the human system must be covered with cartilage at
its ends so as to prevent self-destruction through friction, especially
in the joints.

(b). Cartilogen consists of all the necessary constituents of this
important material, and under certain circumstances it must be
introduced in this concentrated form, as for instance when the general
diet is unable to counteract the influences of disease which tends to
degenerate the cartilage and subjects the body to the great suffering
which the absence of cartilage invariably produces.

(c). Cartilage keeps all the joints in working order and must be
regenerated constantly.

As soon as the blood and lymph no longer contain the proper, necessary
constituents for the rebuilding of cartilage tissue, the consequence is
degeneration of this tissue.

It is obvious then that the presence of proper cartilage constituents in
the blood is of the greatest importance to the regenerating forces in
the human body. Our foodstuffs, therefore, must contain the material in
a digestible, assimilable form, thus to prevent inanition of the cells,
otherwise degeneration of the cartilage tissue must follow.

(d). _Dose_: One gram or one-fourth of a heaping teaspoonful twice a day
for a certain period, depending on the condition of the patient. This
may be taken in the same manner as previously described.
