CURED HIM.

What has cured one hyp..cli«'miiia.«-; (says an American may prove of like ;.•.■•!•:• fit to many others. The man in question imagined that some i"!rt-atl thing in conspiracy with death was rapidly working destruction in in- system. He could not figure* out jost what it was, hut he r°solved to battle impending fate by observing all the approved rules of health. Regarding the stomach as the greatest .source of disease, he first devoted his atb ntion to it. Ho found from on* authority that he should eat no meat and had just become a vegetarian when he learned from another good authority that the man who did not eat meat could never attain the strength of mind and mind that nature intended. He ceased all stimulants because he read that the were detrimental, and then came across the assurance from anorh'T iejj-ned dor-tor that nothing was outer than tie s. same stimulants judl- ■ •i-.tisly taken. Th'> t":<rih-T hi went : li c greater the confusion. Tobacco was poison. Tol•;;.. co was a trr<ind thing, because it kipt out : ':'' deadly microbes to which ths ir.'.aiii is peculiarly .suseeptible. Late ■.;.''. ing was ruinous. Late eating was a source of health because it attracted the b'ooi] from the brain to th ; stomach and iii'l'if-d sleep. Besides, it was not intended that the system should twelve hours out of the twenty-four Without trklng in suste.nnn'*;'. Eggs were among the healthiest of foods. Egg- tended directly to impair the liver. It. was bad lo ill ink too mufh water. There was v thing like water to keep the system Hushed out and in a.healthy condition. Fruit in the morning was the worst thing possible for the stomach. Fruit ;•.! the morning was positively th" happiest and best introduction the stomach could have to do its day's work. Coarse bread was -.he best. The fln»r the Hour the more nutritious the bread. But when our hypochondriac read from a Herman doctor that all bread was. injurious and should be used just as sparingly as possible, he dropped his in"; -ligations in disgust, and vowed that hj" could find the highest authority for rating, drinking and living just as it suit-'d him. Now ho has ted gills, a rotund form and a shiny nature. And yet he does nothing for which he cannot '■how you the highest medical sanction.
