REGULAR EATING.

Half or all ordinary diseases would be ban
ished from civilization life, aud dyspepsia be-
come almost unknown, if everybody would eat
but thrice day at regular times, and not an
atom between meals, the intervals being not
less than five hours, that being the time to di,
geSt full meal and pass it out Of the stomach.
Ifa person eats between meals, the process
of digestion of the food already 10 the stomach
is arrested until the last which has been eaten
is brought into the condition of the former
meal just as if water is boiling and ice is put
in, the whole ceases to boil until the ice has
been melted and brought to the boiling point,
and the whole boils together.
But it is law of pature that all food begins
to decay, to rot, after exposure to heat and
moisture for certain time. If a meal is eat
en-, and in two hours another, the whole re-
mains undigested for seven hours, before which
the rottenug process commences, and the mau
has his stomach full of carrion-the very idea
of which is horribly disgusting; but that such is
the case the uncomfortable odor of the belchlngs
demonstrate.
As, then, all the food in the stomach Is in a
rotting condition, in state OF termentlve de-
cay, it becomes unfit, for the purposes OF nutrl-
ton and for making good pure blood. Small
wonder is it that dyspeptics have such variety
of symptoms, and aches, for there is not
one drop of pure blood 10 the whole
body; hence the nerves, which feed on this i'm
pure and imperfect blood, are not properly
nourished, and as consequence, become dis
eased. They ''complaiD;' they are hungry,
and like hnngry. man, are pcevlsh, tretiu,
restless. We call it nervousness, and no one
ever knew dyspcptic who was not restless
fretfu 6dgety, and essentially dlagreea0le, ht-
full and uncertain.
The stomach is made up of a number OF mus
cles, all OF which are brought into reQulsltlon 10
the process of digestion But no muscle can
work always. The busy heart is in a state OF
perfect repose for ne-thrd fits time. The
eye can wink twice in a second but this could
not be continued five minutes. The hands and
feet must have rest, and SO with the muscles OF
the stomach; they only can rest when there Is
no work for them to do-no food in the stomach
to digest. Even at FIVE hours interval, and
eating thrice day, they are kept constantly at
work from breakfast uutil the last meal Is dis
posed of, usually ten o'clock at night But
mutitudes cat heartily within an hour of bed
time; thus, while the other portions of the body
are at rest, the stomach is kept laborlng until
almost daylight, and made to begin again at
brerktast-time. No wonder is it that the
stomach is worn out-has lost its power OF action.
Many girls become dyspeptic before they are
out OF their teens, in consequence OF being about
the house and pibbling at everything they lay
their eyes on that is good to eat.
