TALK ABOUT HEALTH.
BY do LEWIS, N. D.

You have asked me to prescribe Tor
YOU. You expect medicine. Perhaps you
hope for whisky-just now the rage for
chronic maladie,. But I shall give you
nothing to swallow. You swallow too
much already.
OF all the maladics, dyspepsia is the
most distressing. TO get rid OF its hor'
rors, you would part with your right
arm. I believe you. But will you part
with a portion Of your table luxurles -?
+ fear not. But prcsumins you are in
earnest, I will prescribe for you.
RULES.
l. Rise carly, dress warm, and 60 out
n strong, walk if weak, saunter
Drink cold water three times. Or all
cold baths, this is best for the dyspeptlc.
After half hour or more, come III for
breakfast.
=. For breakfast eat piece Of good
steak half as large as your hand, slice
Of coarse bread, and baked apple.
Eat very slowly. Talk pleasantly with
your neisbor,. Read the cheerful cou'
meuts Of loyal journals. Avoid copper.
heads as you do hot Biscuits and strong
coffee. Drink nothing.
3. Digest for an hour and then to
your work. I trust it is in the open
air.: Work hard until noon, and then
rest body and mind till dinner Sleep i
little. Drink water.
t. For dinner G. or 3 oclock) eat a
slice Of beef, mutton or fish, as large as
your hand, potato, two or three spoon,
i'uls of other vegetables, and a slice OF
coarse bread. Avoid tomatoes, For
desert, an apple. Give more than halt
an hour to this meal. Use no drink.
5. after dinner play anaconda for an
hour. Now for the social, for pleasant
games-a good time.
+. No supper. ~ little toast and tea
even, for supper, will make your recovery
very slow.
7. ln a warm room, battle your skin
with cold water hastily, and so TO bed in
well:vcnrilated room, before o'clock.
Follow this prescription for three
months, and your stomach will so flr
recover that you can indulge for some
time ii. all sorts Of irregular and glut'
tonous, eating.
Or, if you have resolved, in the fear
Of heaven, to present your bodies Ilv'
ing sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto
God" and will continue to cat and wo'k
like a Christian, your distressing malady
will soon be forgotten.

= Don't Squeeze.

While We arc growing very sensible,
indeed, in the manner Of dress as far as
boots, Balmoral skirts: warm stockins,
and high nccks, we arc dcgencratlns in
some otEcr matters quite as Important.
The corset is now i necessary part Of a
woman's wardrobe, and, alas when Il
woman does begin to wear corscts, she
will wear them too small, and will tug at
the laces until her breath becomes short,
and she feels it necessary to refrain from
anything like a comfortable meal. We
say nothing against wcll.shapcd corset
worn loose but here lies the difficulty. a
loose corset Injuries the appearance Of the
figure instead of improving it, and pco:
pie wear corscts that they may have small
waists. All we can say is, don't squeeze;
whatever you do; you may have small
waists, but you arc exposing yourself to
q dozen misfortunes which are as bad as
large waist. First, you'll surely have
dyspepsia, and grow yellow, and cross,
and unhappy; secondly. your hands will
grow red thirdly, your nose; tOurthly,
YOU will lie unable to walk 4 mile at
once filthy, dinner will be q misery !;
sixthly, your shoulder blades will in.
crease in size and altitude seventhly,
your eyes will grow weak; eighty, you
will break down at thirty or there.
abouts, and be sickly old woman from
that time forth. If these truths do not
Brighten women from tight corsets, per-
haps the information that gentlemen
do not admire what dressmakcss call 4
." pretty figure" so much as a natural
one. may have some influence.

Truth in Courtship.

Be true to your lover. I don't mean
stick to him; but do@t dcccire him. Let
him know, let her know, what sort Of
person you really are. Tell each other
your faults make known your real OPT
MONS; state your views of married life,
and what you expect to do and be as
married companions. Dcspise and alb
jurc the huubusging which is almost
universal among lovers. Girls keep out
of sight all their failiugs, and do their
best to cause their beaux to think them
angels, and men bow like slaves to every
wish or within of their lady loves, and
seem but to live but to make them hap.
py. Now this is not as it ought to be ;
it will not be so after marriage. The
woman will grow weary of always acting
her prettiest; aud the man will not en-.
dure all sorts Of Inconvenience, and
submit to all sacrifices to please the wo'
man Who is surely bis OWN!
1t is the dearest pleasure to every true
woman to obey and make happy the man

but how much better it would be to teach
the sweetheart the truth instead Of a
falsehood as to her future, position; l
won't say anything more to the girls, for
as they have to wait to be wooed and won,
and as they have fewer chances than
men have, there is moro excuse for them
to put the best side out only let them
strive to keep it out, and We have no
further controversy with them. But
men are without excusefor holding out
such pretences as they do. They are
cruel and unwise. Cruel, because the
pain which tho woman will feel when all
bis subservicncy and Difference to her is

her as to cause her resolutely to rebel,
or silently to cease to love. In either
case the husband will be sorcly punish
ed for so long ignoring their just rela-
tons to each her.-Lady Contributor.
