Cures for Dysnensia.

While great many people are exercised
on the subject of mind and faith cures, con-
siderable attention is being paid just now
TO alleged dyspepsia cures. 1t seems to
be assumed that this dread disease is one
that never yields TO the physicians skill,
and that 1t must necessarily be treated by
old women's remedies. There are thou
sands who Will certify that they have
known of persons being cured OF dyspep-
STA by liberal doses of salt, soda, kerosene,
cayenne pepper, soap, and scores of other
equally simple remedies.
Recently the story Of King Henry VIII.
curing the abbot by the starvation pro-
cess has been resurrected for the thou
sandth time. This mode of treating dys-
pepsia has been recommended by many
doctors at different periods, and hence it
unpopular.
The enterprising and witty adventurer
who a few years ago advertised for sale
a prescription that never failed to cure
this disease, price 81 by mail, and sent in
reply the brief directions, 'Dig in your
garden and let whisky alone" was every
where denounced as swindler, and yet
there is no doubt that theremedy is one Of
the best that has ever yet been discovered.
Nine out OF ten Of the few dyspeptics
who have had the good sense and pluck 10
try this remedy have been cured, but it is
10 be regretted that il lisa great deal more
unpopular than the starvation cure.
The last prescription for this disease
that has been given TO the public through
the benefcent press may be briefly stated
as follows: "Eat pea soup. drink molasses
as you would water, rub or knead your
stomach and stimulate its contortions,r ride
horseback, sing and laugh.n This remedy
may be effective, ana possibly it will be-
| come popular, but IL will hardly become
| generally used. While nearly everyone
may obtain the pea soup and molasses.
and can afford 10 knead their stomachs,
comparatively few can afford TO take
horseback exercise. and the idea Of one
\ wbistling and laughing who is afflicted
with dyspepsia is preposterous. Perhaps
the starvation cure is as eilectual as any,
and Il certainly comes within the means
Of the poorest.
While Y has been maintained that no
one was ever known 10 die Of dyspepsia,

A Presidential Example.

A good deal has been said about Presi-
| dent Cleveland's habits of early rising
and his close application to the duties of
his Office. Those who are brought into
contact with him, and who have the op-
portumty to observe his business habits,
have taken notice particularly of the
method and system in both his public and
private affairs. 1t is stated that in this
respect he is very different from his prede-
cessor, who was prOveTbial procrastina-
tor ana who was always behind with his
business, no matter how little there was
to do.
Mr.. Arthur when President was irregu-
lar about eating, going to bed and rising
in fact, about everything. 1t is SAID that
Mr.. Cleveland is as punctual at all his
meals as he is about his official duties.
He has his hours for work and does ais
work in the time assigned for it. Every
thing is arranged so there is no clashin@
aud hence he is able to dispose of a very
great amount of business each day, and
when his official hours are past he stops
work and takes his recreation in the same
systematic manner.
Probably one-half of the energy of the
people is improbable because of the want
I of punctuality and system. One man who
/ is not prompt and systematic in his bust
ness often involves a whole community
in trouble. throwing the whole course of
business out of joint. A successful bust
ness man who is not systematic is re,
CURED to exert himself much more to
obtain gwen results than one who is
always methodical and does everything
just when and how it is proper that it
should be done.
There are people who seem to be devoid
of the faculty that enables one to be sys-
tematic. With the greater number the
want of system is due to the want of
proper appreciation Of it's advantages
and the want of training.
May not the example of the President
in this respect prove of greater benefit to
the country ultimately than even his Off
cial acts? Parents and teachers may be
impressed with the Importance of pune
tuality and system, and they may cause
the young to acquire systematic habits
that will be of inestimable benefit to them
when they become men and women.
Housekeeping is easy to the lady who
has time for the performance of each
household duty, and who requires every
thing to be done in the proper time. So
with men, whether in the store, office,
workshop or farm, system lightens the
labor of employees as well as employers.
The example of the President is well
worthy of study and imitation.

The Books and the Cash.

The cash in the Treasury has been
found equal to the amount called for by
the Treasury books, and, according to
our dispatches, everything at the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing, where the
notes aEd bonds of the government are
printed, has been shown to be correct.
OF course the Republican papers are
chuckling over this satisfactory condition
OF affairs in the Treasury Department.
They insist that the Republican party has
been indicated of the charge, SO often
made during the late campaign, that Re-
publican officials had stolen themselves
rich.
1t is doubtful if any intelligent Demo-
crat ever had an idea that Republican
officials stole money from the Treasury
just as thief carries Off the contents of
bank vault when he has a chance.
The Republicans are not fools. Those
OF them who held the offices were remark
ably shrewd. They were not the sort OF
men to permit discrepancies between the
books and the cash in the vaults. But
who can say that millions of dollars were
not paid out on regularly audited vouch-
ers for which no value was received?
How many millions OF dollars did the star
route ring get? Has anybody ever taken
the trouble TO find out the amount that
Mr.. Robson paid out for a navy that
never had any existence? What about
the vast sums which were squandered
among deputy marshals and supervisors
of elections, under the pretense of secur-
ing fair elections, but, in reality, to bride
voters to work for the success of the Re-
publican party? These are only instances
of the way the Treasury was robbed.
OF course the books are all right, but
what a sensation would be produced if it
could be shown how all the money was
spent which the books show was spent!

The Fate of the Hermitage.

every one, whether he has the disease or
not, appreciates the necessity of the dis
coveTy Of a specific for it. Probably the
friends of a man who has dyspepsia are
more severely afflicted than the patient
himself. They often wish that he would
get well or-sOmethng.
After all, of the thousands of dyspeptics
in the land comparatively few of them
are ever cured. They Will not adhere to
any course of treatment long enough for
a fair trial. 1t is believed by many that
they do not really wish to be cured, that
their disease becomes a hobby to which
they are welded for life. The only
pleasure they have is in making all
around them miserable, and hence, like a
man with toothache, they get no SYM
patty. They always grow to ripe old
age, however, and consequently they are
eventually honored If not loved. Perhaps
this is the reason that so few will take
the dyspepsia cures.
