sHappenSs It may produce effects not necea-
 sarily connected with it's original qualities. { COFFEE. 1t is allowed that coffee f3fo- notes digestion, and exhiIarasss tEs ani- nal spirits besides whicll, various other qualities are ascribed to, tt, such as dispel- ling flatnlency, removing dizziness of the head, alternating viscid humonrs, increas- ing the circulation of the blood, and coInse- quently precipitation; but if drank. too strong, it affects the nerves, occasions watchiulness, and tremor of the hands though in some phlegmatic constitutions it
 is apt to produce sleep. Indeed, it is to persons of that habit that coffee is.wcII ac-
 commodated for to people of tliin and dry habit of body it seems to be injurious.
 Turkey coffee is greatly preferable in fla- vor to that of the West Indies. Drank only in the quantity of one dish, after din-- nor to promote digestiOn, t answers best without either sugar or milk but if taken atsothw times, 1t siiould havot both: cr in place of the Iatters Tather cream, which not only improves tho beverage, but tends to mitigate the effect of coffee upon the nerves.

 The great use of coffee in France is supposed to have aBated the pFevalency of the gravel. Inthe French coloniesy where coffee is more used than with the English, as weIlas in Turkey, where it is the prin- cipal beverage; notonly tho gravel, bItthe gout, those inveterate tormentors of the hu- ! man race, arc scafcciY known.-It has been found useful in quieting the tickling vexatious cough, that often accompanies ' the, small pox, Nnd other erupsive fevers.''
 Now the fact iss that tho gr6S merit of coffee depends upon the nature of the stona- ach into which 1t is taken, and it will be found inaall cases, excepting head ache. asthma and nervous irrilability- the good effects arise from its purgatiye cnali- ty. Whenever it causes gentle laxity of the bowels, 1t will be found wholesome, and the reverse when it cossstipaies. A good deal depends upon the way coffee is ore. pared the English ih general only drink coffee wATER, and not that essential and well prepared beverage properly called coffee. One cup of the powder shonldsbe put to two ofbOiling water, and only bOil- ed once, then clearly strained.

 Hiding for Dyspepsia.--As we said whilom tllzt riding hard trotting horse was thesovcreign'st thing r the world'' for the Hyp, 90 we now take the iibertyto declare that riding gently trotting horse is tho best thing in tho world for dyspepsia. This may sound like d bold assertion in the very face and eyes of Mr. Halsted' books but we repeat Il, and # any dyspepsical render of ours has any doubt upon tho snb- ject, we adyise him t0 make trial of ie.
 Itisnot the mere tossing up of the stom- Dach which is rsauised the whole system
 must be stirred along within. The body
 must be inyigofatod, the Aagging spirits
 must be reused. The stomach is merely 'as t were, a sort of vice president If the system, and can do but little without the aid of III the other parts. If the body in
 general be vigorous, there is little danger
 of the stomach being weak. The whole
 must suffer, or enjsg together. When the body is strong and active. the stomash is lively and vigorous feady to do it's work, and prepared to diResf every thing the pal- ate delights in, even though Il. be board
 nails, boiIed cabbage, toasted cheese, hard eggs or heavy bread. xxx.
 Exercis0 n general is tO invigorate the
 body and by that means to improve the
 stomach. But Of sil kinds of exercise,
 none is sD eiiicaeions as riding on horse-
 back. U tssirs the system most judiciousIy:
 t excites tho bodily action without ipdIc-
 ing any injurious fatigue. But wherefore uso 50 many words ,s,,,..ss gs.., Make tfial of tho remedy, dyspeplics, whoever you are-We mean such as are in want of something more active than their ordinary exercise, Ride d few miles to day and sse what effect it will produce. l Ride again tp-inorr0w in she same way repeat il tie n6xt day- --and in short, keep riding.
