Dyspepsia ! Dyspepsia !

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human
ailments. Its symptoms are almost infinite in
their variety, and the fOriirn and respondent
victims of the disease often fancy themselves the
prey, in turn, OF every known malady. This is
due, in part, 10 the close sympathy which exists
between the stomach and the brain, and in part
also to the fact that any disturbance Of the diges-
tive function necessarily disorders the liver, the
bowels and the nervous system, and effects, to
some extent, the quality of the blood.

IRRADIATIoN OF LIGHT.-It is a curious
fact, if the same letters of the same size
precisely are painted on two boards, the
one white on a black ground and the 9TH
er black on a white ground, the white
letters appear larger and be read at q
greater distance than the black. This is
owing to what is called the irradiation OF
light. 1t depends on this that the impress
SION made on the bottom of the eye by
bright objects extends a little wider than
the actaal portion of the organ struck by
the light, and invading the space occupied
by the darker objects makes the brighter
appear larger than they really are.
