Neuralgia.

The certain cure of neuralgia Is found
in judicious eating and exercise; and
not only so, a permanent cure cannot
be effected in any other way, while
these are always efficient.
In neuralgia the blood is always too
thick, impure and in excess; and as di-
ct and exercise combine to remedy these
conditions, some rules in relation to
them are desirable. These will be
adapted to sedentary persons, to those
who live indoor generally, as, women,
students, boOk-keepers, and the like.
1t is rather better to eat thrice day,
morning, noon, and night; that is, as
soon after sunrise as practicable, for
breakfast; dinner about l o'clock sup
per before sundoWn.
Eat nothing whatever between
meals.
Breakfast, a single cup of coffee, or
tea; some cold bread and butter, with a
dish of berries or stewed fruit in sum-
mer time, and nothing else; in winter,
meat, fish, or poultry, or, in their
stead, couple Of soft bOiled-eggs.
Supper should be made of cold bread
and butter, and a cup of warm drink OF
some kind, and nothing else.
Dinner the same as breakfast, adj
ding one vegetable and some fruit, raw
or stewed, as a desert, and nothing
eIses A different kind of vegetable
NAV be taken every day for variety
the kind of meat may be changed at
each meal.
The object in the specification above
made is to discourage variety at meals,
because it is this which tempts all to
eat too much. Persons at times have
felt at the teatable that they had eaten
enough; but ON seeing q very Inviting
dish unexpectedly brought in, a good
meal has been eaten of this last varie-
ty. The general and hurtful error is
that too great a variety is spread on
our tables, not only OccasiOning trouble
of preparation and great loss, but also
a positive injury in the temptation OF
the appetite. The reader may try ii
upon himself on any two days. A din.
ner of one vegetable, one kind of meat
and bread at dinner the next day, let
a great variety be presented; he will
eat double the amount at this repast,
with this remarkable difference: : an
hour after the first meal, he will be en-
tirely comfortable, will feel as if he had
eaten quite enough; an hour after the
latter, there will be decided discomfort
a fullness, a feeling as if some kind Ot
relief was desirable, and i'll too many
cases a resort to the decanter, with &
vain hope of riddance in some way. Il
cannot be denied that the first step to-
ward Incorporate habits have been ia.

pleasant consequences of Over-eating
| A very great aid toward overcoming {
habit of too hearty eating will be found
/ in sitting down to a table with only
/ three varieties of fOOd.-DT. Hall.
