Maintain Am4cab1c Relations with
Your Stomach.
To diEoblige the stomach is perhaps the
most foolish thing, q man eau do, and he is
organ has avengers, who surely, if not sud
denly, make him pay dear for the breach Of
internal order. Rheumatism begins to assail
the Limbs, and refuses to be mitigated by
mustard. a dull pain, accompanied BY some
thing like the pa1pable ticking Of q watch, or
dance Of magnetic needles, is 1elt in the region
OF the liver. And, last and most terrific visit
ant Of all the demon gont sticks his tangs
into your toe, and thenceforward claims you
as his property. Woe to he individual upon
kind Of funligation or cxorcism powerful
enough to drive lin away. Co1chicum is to
gout what incense was to Jupiter. He may
snntfit up, and rather like it than otherwise, |
but it is no sure propitiation.
There is q grim sport1eneE6 about gout,
which reminds Us forcibly Of the manner in
which q tom cat plays with mouse. After a |
Eeyere claw1ng, respite Of some duration is |
allowed to the victim, who begins to entertain |
hope that it may be possible to escape from |
the enemy. Vain delusion. With q sudden |
bound the monster recaptures its prey, and a |
despairing squeak Of anguish supersedes the |
| faint check of exultation- Do not deceive |
yourself. There is no emancipation for you on
this side Of the grave; and the odds are ten
to one that you 1re in for chalk-stone6. GOut
is hereditary 10 your family, you say? Nothing
more likely, II you are willing to give credit
to the doctors; and we wish you all joy Of the
kA-
| tocratic consideration. Your grandfather and
! your father worked very hard for it, and got
! it as their recompense; and the terms upon
which you have stood for many years IN regard
to your OWN stomach justify your succession
| to The biTthnght.

But gout is great deal more Wakeful than
conscience. Once revoke that sprightly de-
mon, and you can neither hocus or Danish
him. He has the catalogue Of your transgres~
tweak Of the pinchers without favoring you
with an explanation Of the torment In the
silent watches OF the night he comes to your
bedside, and bids you be Of good cheer, be-
cause lie is just good to favor you with an in
tcresting anatomical demonstration.
"That pain which you feel in the joint Of
