In the British Medical Journal Dr. W.
Roberts, OF England, discusses the effect Of
liquor, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion. All
of them retard the chemical processes, but
most Of them stimElate the glandular activ-
ity and muscu= oOntractions. Distilled
spirits retard the salivary or peptic digestion
but slightly when sparingly used.
Wines were found to be highly injurious to
saiivary digestion. On peptic digestion all
wines exert a retarding influence They
stimulate the glandular and muscular activ-
ity on the stomach. Eferyescent wines ex-
ert the greatest amount of good with the
least harm to digestion When ones diges-
tion is out Of order everything goes awry, ,un-
less, as in the case Of T. I. Seals, Of Belaire,
Ohio, who hal bad dyspepsia for seven years,
the digestive apparatus is kept in apple-pie
eating order by Warmers Tippecanoe, the
best appetite producer and regulator in the
world
Tea, even in minute quantities, completely
paralyzes the action Of the saliva The tan
min in strong tea is injurious. Weak tea
should be used if at all. Strong coffee and
coca are also injurious il used in excess. s.-Ihe
