LOST HIS APPETITE. To most people porpoise flesh, as an article of diet is an acquired taste, but it is freely "used by tho crews of foreign sailing ships. When a porpoise is caught, it i 6 cut up by its captors into steaks, and hung up on deck to dry in the open air. Pilot Willis, who boarded the Norwegian ship "Crown of England" outside tho Heads,' Melbourne, was enjoying a breakfast of, porpoise, in the belief that it was a piece of succulent beef. Unfortunately, however, while in tho middle of his repast he let fall a complimentary remark upon the merits of the beef, whereupon his host explained that porpoise, and not beef, was under discussion. A sudden loss of appetite on the part of the pilot followed this announcement. Loss of appetito on land or sea, when due, as it mostly is, to derangement of the digestive organs cannot be rectified even by tho most inviting of dishes. To euro the trouble, remove the cause bv the use of IMPEY'S MAY APPLE—B to 10 drops after meals. Cure guaranteed.—Advt.
