Cracked wheat takes the longest to boil,
and for that reason / prefer the oatmeal,

meat-at least in most forms OF dyspep,ia n
is better not to eat meat, though in some
cases the stomach is so weak that it REQUIRES
strengthening by beef stew, mutton stew, and
the like; and in that case he can partake Of
little boiled, broiled or roasted beef or mutton.
but never fried, and it should always be lean.
Fruit should not be eaten with meat or vege-
tables, as they do not assimilate; and here I
wouldsremark that fiatulency is mostly caused
by eating either badly prepared food, or dif-
ferent kinds Of food that do not agree well to-
gether, and therefore it is best for dyspeptics
not to eat more than two or three different
articles at time.
But quantity is even of more importance
than quality, and no matter what dyspeptic
eats, ii he eats too much, he will never get
better. The stomach needs rest, and the
liver less work to do; therefore it would be
best if he took only two meals day; or, If he
did take supper, it should be very light, and
he should always 60 to bed with a sense of
hunger upon him; sleeping with his mouth
shut and the room well ventilated. He
should never eat to repletion, but always rise
from the table as soon as the actual demands
OF hunger were satisfied, so as to be out Of
the way Of temptation, and should eat very
slowly and masticate thoroughly, which Is
also very important, and not unfrequently
the means Of curing some dyspeptics. He
should avoid pastry, fancy and sweet cakes,
butter, lard, eggs, cheese, gravy, pork, ham,
sausage, liver, fish, coffee, tea, chocolate,
liquors of all kinds, hot rolls, and anything
rich, greasy, or highly seasoned, and should
not eat anything between meals. There were
times, nevertheless, when found,a cup of
weak coffee or tea actually did me good.
Therefore would say that A SUBSCRIBERS
must turn his own doctor. and study what
agrees with him and what does not. Still am
convinced that the habitual use of tea and
coffee Is injurious to one in iii health, and can
