THE HEALTH OFFICER.

A CHAT ABOUT DYSPEPSIA. Cuyler must have had a full experience of dyspepsia when he wrote — "Dys- | pepsia. is God's appointed health officer, stationed at tho gateway of excess to warn off all who approach it, and to punish those who will persist in entering the forbidden ground." The punishment of dyspepsia is very severe, and the dyspeptic is _a person much to be pitied. He is morose, lowspirited, nervous, drowsy and bilious, life for him has " nothing it." • Some people are always eating,- and feeding at unreasonable- hours. To eat onco in five hours ia'-fi, very good rule. ] Three- hours are required for digestion, and the other two hours should, be holi- j day-tijne for the stomach. ! Again, some people eat a heavy meal when tired "and hungry, while others snatch a light 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 tfbrry their food one would fancy they were putting up a record f°r a wager. Avoid experimenting with your stomach. The ' capacity of the stomach is strictly limited, and it is wrong to expect it* to do the work of the cook and of your teeth. Chew your food properly, and if .you did the work right you would find considerable .pleasure and enjoyment in it. Even if "time 'is money" eat slowly: Better to waste a, little of your time at the dining-tfible than to spend your money in doctors' fees. Remember that you don't eat for fun; you take food that the blood may receive nutrition- from the "digested food. It ia what is digested- that is essential to your health. ■ Undigested food ferments and th¥owi off putrefying and poisonous gases. You know what happens ■ when a city sewer is choked up ; • poisonous gases escape and typhoid and other .diseases seize those 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 were 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 living. Heartburn, flatulency, nausea, palpitation, acrid i or foetid eructations, otherwise known as- belching, loss di 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 arigtt way -to get the stomach into working' order again. Avoid the use of oils and pills, for they are too drastic in their operations, have a tendency to lower the system, and mostly fail to effect a cure. The right remedy is Impey's May Apple.
