indigestion and Disease.

DIR. Henry Reynolds has an article In
the Phrenolngtcal journal on indiges-
ti0n, which seems to define the nature
ana symptoms OF the complaint very
closely.
Many suffering from dyspepsia will
find their own feelings described in the
following extracts taken from DIR Rem
yolds paper, and We hope some will de-
rive benefits from his hints
The important relation of indigestion
to many diseases which people suffer is
not sufficiently realized. Difficulty in
breathing, occurring spontaneously, or
on slight exertion, may be caused by
indigestion.
Indigestion cuses alterations in the
general nuteritious of the body, which
are manifested in various WAYS, among

nights storm in Indiana and Ohio, show
ing that the cyclone swept across twelve
miles in length, about six miles north of
Connersville, with path few rods wide,
striking the little village of Waterloo, de
stroying every house but three in it, and
doing great damage to farms in its path,
but injuring nobody. The iron bridge
over Whitewater river was whirled to
pieces. In the southern part of Wayne
county, adjoining, much damage was done
to farms; houses unroofcd and one or two
people slightly injured. The same storm
passed through Preble county, Ohio, un
roofing houses and barns and doing dam
age estimated at $4,000. Farther east
at Germantown and Miamisburg there was
a severe hail storm, doing immense dam
age-to vegetation. The fruit is almost
wholly destroyed.

to which may be added in cases of those
predisposed to such affections, liability
to gout and rheumatism, and affections
OF the lungs or kidneys, Consumption
has frequently been reguarded as due in
many cases to long continued derange-
ment of the digestion, whereby the gen
eral nutrition of the system has become
impaired.
The inflammation of the Mucous mem
brance of the throat, known as as ''cler-
gyman's sore throat, is product of
indigestion. and the removal of the cause
by the adoption of suitable dietary, ex-
ercise in the open air, and observance of
the laws of health generaHy will be the
best treatments of it,
Indigestion is the cause of varaious
alterations in the skin. manifested by
general GOODNESS or chilliness, especially
of the extremities, by changes in its color
or texture, which may be earthly or sal
low in tint or dry and coarse, and by
various eTnptons. among which are the
wellknown eczema, acne. impetigio and
nettle rash. Most of the cases of skin
diseases affecting children are best treated
by attention to the diet, making the diet
easily digestible and sufficiently limited
to insure complete digestion.
The causes of indigestion may be due
to the food or condition of the stomach
The food may be defective in quality.
There may be excess or deficiency of the
normal ingredients, saccharine, starchy
alhuminous, or fatty, r~some of the nat
urally indigestible materials which form a
part of all food, The food may be intro
duced in an indigestible form on account
of the defects in the cooking of it. or imper-
feet mastication, or from its having under
gone putrefacation or fermentation,
which arrests the functions of the stomach
Imperfect mastication of food is very
common cause of indigestion among
Americans.
Eating too much is probably the most
common of all causes of Indigestion.
The secretion of the gastic juice in the
stomach seems to be proportioned to the
amount of material required for the nouI:
ishment of the system. Food taken in
excess of this amount acts as foreign
substance undergoing fermentation and
putrefaction. and occasioning much dis
turbance in the system
Much may be done for the cure of
indigestion by eating very abstemiously
of food, of suitable food, thoroughly |
masticated. taking exercise in the open |
air, breathing pure air, and observing the |
laws of health generally. The amount of |
food should be reduced until the quantity |
is reached which the stomach can digest |
without evincing any symptoms of indi- |
gestion. |

card of invitation always command notice.
There are so many cards OF invitation
ahoat during the winter season, some OF
them. as to church weddings, requiring no
answer, not even to regret that one cannot
attend, that ii is wise, If you wish to know
the number Of guests who will resp )Ed ia
your summons, to put the magic letters IN
one corner of the invitation card. When
there Is set preparation, of substantlals In
food, tie hostess wishes to know how
many guests to provide Tor. At afternoon
teas this is not necessary, as the supply OF
hot water and biscuits is supposed to be
unlimited. Always reply to an invitation
10 luncheOn-even If it Is what is called a
standing luncheon, the number OF guests
makes difference in the supplies. The
same rule applies to formal invitations fol
the evening gwen by societies, associations
or other organizations II the card bears
only the request to attend people naturally
think it means ''come if you can" other
wise 1t makes no difference IN the prepare
tons. The letters of obligation, X. ). V.
p. in one corner, give notice that more
explicit reply than your attendance il
looked for. The four letters do not add K
the cost OF the card, and they simplify
matters very much. Some punctiliou
people always reply to every invitation o
whatever sort, but they are persons o
much leisure. The buster folks, however
understand what X. s. V. L. means.

A GIRLS A GIRL FOR A,rHAr.

Is there a lady In the land
That boasts her rank and a. that?
With scornful eye we pass her by,
And little care for a. that;
For Natures charm shall bear the palm
A girls girl for a. that.
What though her neck with gems she deck
With folly's gear and a. that,
And gaily ride in pomp and pride;
We can dispense with a. that;
An honest heart acts no such part
A girls girl for a. that.
The nobly born may proudly scorn
A lowly lass and a. that,
A pretty face has far more grace
Than naughty looks and a. that;
A bonny maid needs no such aid
A girls girl for a that.
And let us trust that come 1t must,
And sure it will for a that,
When faith and love, all arts above,
Shall reign supreme and a. that,
And every youth confess the truth

There is a society for the prevention
Of blindness in England. 1t is Gale ala
ted that blindness annually costs
Europe no less sum than 1000, 900,
and England alone no less than $780,
600; so that by removing the causes
hot only will large amount of acute
suffering, rs well as deprivation from
the pleasure of sight, be prevented, but
great financial gain will result. AS
yet, the operations OF the society have

the offer OF substantial prize for the

If the County OF Gloucester Is a fair
representation OF English criminal Stats
tics the average number OF convicts IN
prison has decreased to an extraordinary
extent. In 1874 tue county had room for
$50 prisoners, and the suppOsition was
that the would soon be insufficient, but
time produced contrary result, 10 that
since that Time seven OF its tails have been
closed up, and the average number In 1881
was reduced to 1871. This salts actory re-
suit is supposed to be due TO the 50 called
Grafton system Of treating criminals
which exists in Eugland under an act OF
Parliament. According TO tins system
discharged criminals are placed under
police supervision, work is furnished them,
and records are kept Of their conduct and
location. All this Is done not Only for the
protection TO society, but with u view Of
helping the former prisoners Ia thcll
struggle to become honest and self-sup.
