Of the Human Stomach.
1t Is an old maxim that health Is the
greatest of all riches, and It Is u thing
that money viii often not buy, says a
Paris correspondent Of the New York
Tribune. Indeed, the possession Of Creat
wealth is a~predisposing cause of a num-
Der of complaints< This is the opinion
OF DIR. Monin who has defended II in q
book just published, entitled .'Rich
Mems Evils. The list Of diseases which
escort the rich man Is not a long one,
but 1t is. II one May call II so. a sub
stantinl one. The possessor of several
hundred thousand dollars has the choice
between stomach complaints of various
sorts. congestions, apoplexics, rheuma-
tisims, acute and sub-acute govt, head
aches Of every degree, affections Of the
heart, pleurisy. and asthma, liver COM
plants, jaundice, roseole from which
Queen Victoria suifers). slecplessness,
nervous exhaustion, besides a number
of artificial distempers which are with
In the reach OF all who can purchase
morphine, cocaine and ether.
Whatevery our choice may be you may
console yourself by the thought that you
suffer in good company. Rheumatic
people will remember that Nine. de
Sevingc, who was a sufferer from II,
wore q cheerful conntenance and de-
lighted her friends with her sparkling
wit. The gouty celebrities form q bril-
liant host: Horace. Leibnitz, Erasmus,
Kant, Franklin, Milton u give the
names as they occur, not In chrome
logical order), Darwin, Sydenham. As
you see, doctors are not exempt from It.
Literary people are placed by DR.. Monin
In company with millionaires-ar $3.50
citation no doubt fiattering to both, but
none the less unlocked for. The weight
of their purses. however, has nothing to
do with this. But, like plutocrcts, they
lead a sedentary life, dissipate q guam
tity of vital energy, and are obliged, on
that account, to have a substantial diet.
Literary men and women are, therefore,
subject to dyspepsia and govt.
The manufacturers of a refreshing
beverage whose advertisements are
known wherever the English lanuage is
spoken says: "Stomach's a master all
should dread" This Is DR.. Monin's
opinion. II INDUCED 1t becomes q sulky
and m-willed companion, and It does so,
too, when placed on short commons.
An edifying list is that Of the diseases
affecting the wealthy classes at diff
ferent ages. It will be some consola-
ton to those who have not received the
riches Of this world and this will be nv
