tablespoonful of the purest syrup of loaf.suear.
taken three times day before meals, will des-
troy the tone of the healthiest stomach in
very short time. And when it is remembered
how many patent medicines are made up in the
form of syrups and sweet lozenges, and how com.
mon the use of them has become, 1t need net be
wondered at that every second or third person
met on the street. knows the meaning of "sour
stomach," or dyspepsia. 1t has been shown
that If q sound tooth be STEPPED in syrup for
some days, IL becomes soft, pulpy mass. That
does not prove thatit Is injurious to the teeth,

So far from sugars and pure candies injuring
the teeth or the health, they would, If used
wisely and In moderation, as sole desserts, be
actual preservatives of both; especially If al

the leaden pudding, and pastries and cakes Of

to excssses which lay the foundation for disea-
ses which torture for lifetime or bring speed.
