Anti.Dyspcptic.
Some writer has said: "Christianity
can make but little progress under tho
present system Of cookery; dyspepsia is
"a cloud 50 dense il shuts out the very
light Of Heaven"
The only part Of the machinery Of the
human system which has more than its
allotted work given it TO do is the stom-
ach, which is cruelty overloaded and
yet expected TO retain it, integrity I'M
der any and all circumstances. II i, Of
no use To- preach 10 people who are well.
1hcy can digest anything, and dyspcp-
STA is 10 them an unknown quantity. u
Is the sick who need q physician and
dyspepsia Is not rs often caused by eat
Ing rich food rs eating irrcgllarly, in
200 much haste, or Oycr-cating. IL is 50
absolutely true that what il one mans
meat is another mans poison. that no
one set Of rules will do for mankind
insufficient food will cause dyspepsia
poverty OF blood and host OF evils.
One man cannot digest eggs unless they
are hard boiled; another dare not touch
cheese, 80 that the only standard for
safe cnting is 10 take that which agrees
with the stomach and produces no bad
effects.
Common sense must enter largely into
all contracts with the stomach for The
fact that n COniurcr can swallow n sharp
sword once led young man 10 expert
ment with his fork, which he swallowed
and then died. DySpeptics are the most
imprudcnt people in the world and must
bo watched like children or they will
saryc until they die in the reaction or
eat the things they are forbidden 10
when tempted by appetite. A change
oi diet is always good A change from
hot food 10 cold is better than the same
vlands prepared in the same way, never
varied, but ~ like rs two peas, 80 that
the identical flavor is preserved from
june 10 January. The old DAYS of cook
ing were better than the present. be-
cause there were fewer messcs, stcws
and fresh mixtures 10 "try the VEINS
and when diScunsOlate man asks his
wife: "Why cant you cook like moth
crP' he forgctS that he had BOYS
appetite for plain-cooking; that roast
apple or a dOughnut were Injuries and
mothers Salcratus biscuits spread with
moaSscs better than any French cook
ing he can get now. For the benefit of
people who are scmi-invalids, or who
would like n training school diet for n
while, here is

NO butter, no vegetables except an
occasional mcaly potato roasted, no
gravy or grease of any kind, no stmu-
lalng food of an unhealthy sort should
be eaten. II the stomach Graves condi-
ments use red pepper, but see that it is
pepper, and not brick dust, which il is
apt TO he. A little pure cayenne pep
per sprinkcd on u slice of bread dipped |
in milk will be found very grateful, but
must not be eaten if there is any fever.
Nutmeg is n healing spice and can be
used freely in milk broths, custards, etc.
Stcwcd pruncs answer both rs food and
medicine. The cereals, tapioca, sage,
cracked wheat, corn starch, farina, etc,
are all good. Dried apples, well cooked, |
are highly esteemed. Fresh fish, beef
extracts, mutton and chicken, are all
sufficient for n flesh aud fowl diet. No
tea or coffee should be taken at all, or at
the most a little weak tea drank luke
warm. Buttcrmilk, il il can be had
and il it is really fresh butlcrmilk, and
not lobbcred milk prepared for market
is an excellent drink. Lemons should
be freely used unless they disagree with
the stomach. Oranges should be
with discretion and but little of the pulp
swallowed, rs it produces feeling of
depression in the pit of the stomach. -
