A MECHANICAL ELIXIR OF LIFE.

KELI lvP "KKOM Til K „ST( >.\l A(' 11 PUMP. Mr E. \V. Pepsia contributes lo the " English Eeview" an ecstatic- article concerning deliverance from age, disease, and all 1 he maladies of mortali- + y by t-he simple mechanism of :i sto-mach-pump or ..syphon. The writer says that be had suffered for many years fro.m acute indigestion:— "1 went from specialist to specialist, from London -to Berlin. I tried every remedy from charcoal .biscuits to broiled steaks and hot water—in vain. Life began to lose its value for me. I went about with thoughts oi suicide. Then at the eleventh hour help came. One day my doctor told me of the stomach-pump."

At first lie recoiled with horror at the 1 nought of thrusting- an india-rub-ber tube down his throat into the recesses of his body, but at last he was driven to it by sheer misery, lie

says: "How shall I describe my sensations! I had been for three hours in ever-increasing misery, a headache growing steadily more severe, and the feeling of oppression and depression getting more and more intolerable. Then 1 had five minute s of acute misery with the tube, and now. a change that baffles description. In five minutes all his misery disappeared, and frj-.ii 1 hat time to this he has always found that thi s syphon tupbe was able to Tid him of all stomach troubles: — "I have 'grown lyrical, but then consider -thle benefits, think of the change wrought in me. I now weigh II stone. 'Though lam 55, I can walk 15 to 20 miles a day without fatigue, and I hardly ever go out for a walk in the morning without sprinting with my dogs a couple of hundred yards from sheer high spirits. There are no > medicine bottles in my cupboards; the gouty symptoms about my knuckles have disappeared; my complexion is ( clear; my skin is clean and rosy; I seem blessed with a second youth. Ten years ago I had to winter abroad ow-ing-to s evere bronchial colds. Now if I have a cold in a year I am annoyed, and I never have a touch of bronchi, tis. The agonies of depression that I used to suffer from, the fits of moroseness and bad temper are unknown 1o me. lam optimistic and lighthearted as I was at tne age of 30. i have a figure. I look upon dyspepsia a s a ; stricken ghost. It i s now some . years since I bave used the stom&enpump; for tbe first- year every day and now perhaps once or twice a wee'k, and I have never once found the slightest ill-effect from it; • "'I do not pretend that this is a discovery of mine; it is not. The profession,' I know, use it, but all theI same thousands of sufferers are • still' I ignorant of its magic, and to these I | would say, '' Try it.'' Try it once, and i you will never be without it again—try it, and you will regain life and youth and happiness." It is well to remember tbat one nian's meat is another man's poison, and many people have tried this method of washing out their digestive apparatus without gaining anything like the advantages described in this article.
