EATING WITHOUT AN AppETITE.-It is
wrong to eat without an appetite, for it shows
there is no gastric juice in the stomach, and
that nature does not need food, and not need
ing it, there being no fluid to receive and act
upon it, it remains there only to purify, the
very thought of which should be sufficient to
deter any man from eating without an appetite
for the remainder of his life. If tonic is
taken to whet the appetite it is mistaken
course, for its only result is to cause one to cat
more, when already an amount has been eaten
beyond what the gastric juice is sble to pre-
pare.
The object to be obtained is a larger supply
of gastric juice, not q large supply of food !;
and whatever fails to have any efficiency to-
wards the cure of dyspeptic diseases. The
formation Of gastric juice is directly proper
stoned to the wear and tear of the system,
which it is to be the means of 81 supplying, and
