THE HEALTH OFFICER.

A CHAT ABOUT DYSPEPSIA. Cuyler must have had a full experience of dyspepsia when he wrots; —"Dyspepsia is God's appointed health officer, stationed at the gateway of excess feo warn off all -who approach it, and to punish those who will persist in entering the forbidden ground.*' Ttha punisltoaifc of dyspepsia is very severe, and the dyspeptic is a person much to be pitied. Kβ is morose, low-spirited, nervous, drowsy and bilious, life for him has "nothing in itJ'

Same people are always eating and feeding: at unreasonable hours. To eat once in five hours is a very good rule. Three hours s>re required for digestion, and the other two hours ' should be holiday-time for the stomach.

A rain, some people eat a- heavy meal when tirec and hungry, while, others snatch a lift hit meal one day and feed to excess the next, as if to compensate themselves. Bolting the food in a hurry is another fruitful cause of indigestion. The way some people worry their food one would fancy they wore putting up a record for a wager. Avoid experimenting with yoitr stomach. The capacity of the stomach is strictly limited, ana it is wrong to expect- it do tfie work of the cook and of your teeth. Chew your food properly, and if you did tbd wmk right you would find considerable pleasure and enjoyment in it Even if "time is money" eat slowly. Bettor -to waste a little of your tame at the dinihg-table than to spend your money in doctors' fees.

Eemembsr that you don't eat for fun ; you take food that the blood may receive nutrition from the digested food. It is what is digested that is essential to your health.

Undigested food ferments and throws off putrefying and poisonous gases. You know what happens .when a cky sewer is choked up; poisonous gases escape and typhoid and other diseases seize thosa who inhale the offensive gases. The stomach will revolt the moment it is abused. It believes in Union rules: you cannot overwork it with impunity, and if you ace wise you wouldn't try to. When the stomach is overloaded indigestion is set up, the functions of the liver are interfered with, constipation -makes you wonder if life is worth liviflg.

Heartburn, flatulency, anusea, palpitation, acid or foetid eructations, otherwise known as belching, loss of appetite, lassitude, depression and low spirits, are some of the symptoms of dyspepsia. "When your stomach goes.on strike start about conciliating it at once. There is a right way to get the efcomach into working order again. Avoid the uf>e of oils and pills, for they arp too drastic in their operations, have a" tendency to lower the system, and mostly fail to effect a cure.
