Furthermore, you will beparticipating in the most noble of all causes - the relief of humansuffering.MAINTENANCE OF HEALTH INMIDDLE AGEMiddle age is the period of life when we are all forced to realise thatour reserves of strength are not inexhaustible. The snap and resilienceof former years are no longer in evidence and it suddenly dawns uponus that we must do something to conserve our resources. There maybe no serious break in health but there is a tendency to succumb morefrequently to minor ailments and these are not so easily shaken off.Consequently, these minor ills must be given more thought andattention if they are not to have a cumulative, undermining effect, as aresult of seriously disturbed metabolism.From this, it becomes obvious that if the human machine is to be keptrunning smoothly, disturbances of metabolism must be avoided andthis calls for the correction of tissue salt deficiences with as little delayas possible.It is a simple fact that, in middle age, the tendency to tissue saltdeficiencies is increased. As the years pass, many of these tissue saltsmay become seriously depleted, hence the failing strength and signsof infirmity which are apt to make their appearance. In view of this,the increasing frequently of signs of not-so-good health should beregarded as a warning. Those off-days can be a blessing in disguise ifthey are taken for granted. That spell of depression, that disturbedstomach, those muscular twinges; all tell the same story - the body iscalling for help. Heed these signs and take immediate steps tocorrect the tissue salt deficiencies they reveal.In what follows, some of the more frequently occurring disabilitiesof the not-so-young are considered and suggestions are made as totheir biochemical treatment. There can be no doubt that the tissuesalts, used promptly, as occasion arises, can be the means ofmaintaining a reasonable standard of health in middle life, ofkeeping the faculties alert and of giving an evergreen touch to the“joy of living”.DISTURBED METABOLISMCOLDSSummed up in this phrase, we probably have the real cause of theageing process; it is the most effective weapon of Old Father Time.What, precisely, is this metabolism, which is so apt to becomedisturbed with the passage of time? Briefly, it means the conversionof food into living tissue; it is a physiological process of analysis andsynthesis. It embraces digestion, assimilation, tissue renovation andthe provision of bodily heat and energy; in other words it is the sumtotal of the biochemical processes.If you are subject to frequent colds, coughs or other respiratorytroubles, a short course of Ferr. Phos. and Kali Mur. is indicated,(Combination J).RUNDOWN CONDITIONSIf you are rundown, weak or anaemic - Ferr. Phos. and Calc. Phos. willhelp to increase nutritional tone, (Combination B).7071
