Drinking Phosphate.
" Give toe ft drink of Boda and phosphate," ordered a customer afc a well-known drug htore. " Do you know what this favorite phoe■phate of yonrß is doing for you ?" asked the venerable drugfciet as the customer drained bis glass. " Silling the nauFea in my stomach," was tho reply. " YeF, and it's killing yonr stomach, too. Some of th£SB days you'Jl want it copperplated, and yon'll want in vain. Phosphate is something no oae ebonld taho escspt after a full meal. Why? Will, I will explain. You wouldn't think that tho inflammable ends of matches were a proper thing to eat, would you 1 But phosphate is derived from phosphorus, and if you use it to excess it will burn out your stomach just us f.lcohol would if used in excess. You feel benefited by it now, but if you keep on, the time will aoroe when you will wish you had never heard of phosphate. Oi oouse we sell it because there is a foolish oraze for it, but I advise no one to use much of the fiery substance." " Should yon use it at all?" '' In moderate quantities just after a full meal it will not hurt anyone; but bewar6 of using it in excess or on an empty stomEch, for if you do that organ will need half-soil-iog some time."
