A SENSIBLE DOSE OF DYSPEPrIC
MEDICINE

In the Popular Science Monthly for
July, DR.. FELIX OSWALD contributes a
treatise on the remedies of nature as q
cure for dyspepsia that is very sug-
geStive.
Daily alcohol fevers, he says, CON-
bined with pepper and mustard intlsm-
nations would ruin the stomach ofan
ortrich; but, in favor ofthe unfeathered

atonements as govt and dropsy. Thou

where the lungs would have rebelled

DRAWING THE LINE ON PAUPER
IMMIGRATION.

1t strikes US as a little strange to read
that a delegation Of Irish citizens
have waited on President ARTHUR to
protest against the deportation to this
country of Irish paupers by the British
Government. 1t might be supposed
that the Irish-Americans would feel q
generosity and love of kindred that
would impel them to welcome their un-
fortunate countrymen to the enjoyment
Of the home of freedom which they
have found in this land; but the Irish
men are no less ready to complain, and
no less reasonable in their complaint,
than are the authorities in this country
that the British Government is selecting
such as are not able to take care of
themselves and sending them here to
be a burden o. the public aud on their
c~Ountrymen rs OOn a they land.
This We call an outrage on this coun-
try, and yet it may serve a good pur-
pose in arOusing a wiser and more care
full discrimination as to the case Of
immigrants that are being encouraged to
come to this country, not by the Brit
ish government alone, hut by innumer-
able agencies that are recognized and
endorsed in this country
If it be true that the British govern
ment is Systematically sending to this
country the feeble and infirm of Ire
land, in order to be relieved ofthe care
of them, this government cannot re-
slst with two much energy so unfrieud-
ly an act. But, on the other hand, if
the British authorities are simply assist
ing poor IriShmen to immigrate 10
America, although they may be very
unthrifty and undesirable characters,
they are doing nothing more than
many agencies in this country are do
ing.
Railroad companies have secured EU-
rope to secure immigrants, poor and
thriftless though they be, to settle on
their alternate sections of land and
make business for their lines. Charita-
Ole lTlSn SOCletlec III <AlISElCd nave Uc-
lieved themselves engaged in \ very
patriotic work when sending mean to
bring poor families from Ireland to set
tie here.
We have been advertising this cOun-
try as the proper refuge for the poor
and prosecuted Of all lands. Other ma
tions are taking us at our word. They
probably think we have a big hospital
over here and are anxious to fill it up.
Perhaps the British Government thinks
it is doing Us a favor in sending us its
paupers. They see other agencies en-
gagged in the same business and IN
clude to take a hand themselves.
We have absorbed q very consider
able part Of the refuse population Of
other countries already, and if now it
is proposed TO be 3 little more discrimi-
mating and draw the line on Irish pau
per-, probably it will lead to the dis
cOvery that the line could very properly
be extended.

ever-increasing list Of unwholesome
dishes; we bolt our food, and grumble
If we cannst bolt it smoking hot. We
eat at hours when the demands oil busi-
ness afford no leisure for digestion, and
when the opportunity for leisure arrives
We counterfeit the efforts Of the stomach
to do its work by hot stove fires and
sitting bedrooms. But, even after
such ~provocations, says the Doctor, the
stomach does not go on a strike with
out repeated warnings. These come
in various easily recognizable forms,
and nine out Of ten Of the victims re-
sort to tonies and quack medi-
cines. The drug but complicates the
disease. Cold fresh air is an invaluable
aid 20 the assimilation of fatty food,
and DR.. Oswald asserts that people who
have got rid Of the night air suPersti-
ton can almost defy dyspepsia by
sleeping in a eross-draught, or, in win
ter, near a half open window. Aid
Nature. says he, by all legitimate
a "Mastieate thoroughly every
meuthfnl of solid food. Eschew spices.
Avoid pickles, cheese, salt meat, SOU
kraut and hot drinks. Take a light
breakfast, q lighter lunch, postpone the
principal meal till the days work is
done, and make the after-dinner hour as
pleasant as possible. Court fresh air at
all times of the day and the night, and
in the course of two or three weeks the
capacity for active exercise will rerurn.
That point gained, the problem of re-
eovery is reduced to a question OF per-
severance"
About the most sensible thing con-
tanned in the treatise We think is that
relative to limiting the number OF
meals. In proof that one meal in
twenty-four hours is quite sufficient to
maintain strength he cites the fact that
for more than a thousand years the one
meal system was the rule in two coun-
tries that could raise armies of men
every one of whom would have made
his fortune as a modern athlete-men
who marched for days under a load of
iron besides clothes and provisions)
that would stagger a modern porter.
The best time for that one meal, says
cur authority, is ut the end of the work
ing day. For all conditions of working
people he recommends that hour for
the principal meal. SIind and body
being at rest favOrs digestion. The
danger of sleeping on a full stomach is
a delusion of man. Animals, which
follow the dictates Of Nature, always
sleep or rest after a heavy meal; only
man disregards the prOmptings OF his
instinct and relies on i dyspepsia pill.

cloud of dust and gravel we could see some
who seemed to be driven mad, picking them
selves up limping one way now and an
other then, like wounded animals, gathering
up their robes in a comical manner. Their long
hair unfastened and streaming down their
backs, made them look like women. Others
tried to escape by swimming lagoon to try
to reach the junks These were killed in the
water. Some good divers remained long
time under water. Our men continued to
kill them all the same when they came up to
breathe like seals. The men then amused
themselves counting the dead-ffty on the
left, eighty to the right In the village were
small heaps; with those killed in the southern
forts, about 800 or a 1000 must have been
disposed of. The sailors laid bets as to the
numbers destroyed. About 9 o'clock in the
morning all was over, and the rout OF the
Annamites was complete. The heat vas in
tense, and the sailors, maddened by the sun
and the noise, and quivering with excite
ment, rushed out of the fort after the
wounded. Some were crouching in holes,
others were feigning death while others, at
the last gasp, were stretching out their hands
pleading for mercy. and shouting Han!
HanW in heart-rending accents. Our men
slaughtered them with bayonets or Drained
them with the butt ends of their muskets.
The Annamite servants dimnutive, effemin-
ate lads who had followed the infantry from
Talgon, were hunted out. When one of the
tugitives was unearthed the sailors would
call out, Here's another; come give him
Leang, Leangl'
These sailors were quite unreconciable
They were absolutely madmen. The officers
attempted to restrain them, and said to them,
You ought to be ashamed of such cowardly,
dirty work"
They replied, 1.-THE Annamites are savages.
They carried the head of Captain Riviere on
the top of pole and if they carried the day
they would cut the French to pieces or saw
them into planks." There was no reply pos
sible to this. 1t was true, and so they were
left to their grim work

was also arrested and indicted by the grand
jury but the evidence which was altogether
OF a circumstantial character, was not strong
enough to hold him. The reason of the ar
