Washing out the Stomach.

During the past year severm physicians
in New York have tried. with gratifying
success, novel treatment for dyspepsia
and cancer Of the stomach by washing
out that organ. The process is very SIM
pie and not dangerous. A long flexible
pipe is passed down the throat until one
is in the stomach. The upper end has a
funnel attached, into which hot water is
poured until the stomach is filed. The
weight ofthe water in the pipe and fun
mel gives hydraulic pressure sufficient
to distend the stomach. The pipe has an
aperture big enough 10 held lead pen
eli. After the stomach has been iilled,
the funnel end Of the pipe is turned
down until It is lower than the bottom
Of the stomach, and the stomach is
emp,ied through siphon. The process
may be repeated several times. The re-
snlt is that the undigested food and
nucus are washed out and the hot water
closes the blood vessels and reduces in
fiammation. The relief is Immediate.
The dyspeptic may have his stomach
washed'out before meal, so that he can
take fresh start. After the lapse of a
sufficient time for ordinary digestion, the
stomash may be washed out again. This
process has been in use at the Now York
Hospital, We are informed, for some time

with little care he can be extinguished

He spends his time in thinking what
rude things he can say or do. OF course,
be does not think they are rude he
thinks they are clever.
He has an idea that people who keep
quiet don't know anything. In this he
is frequently mistaken.
He does not believe that any woman
can see him and not love him this is
often an error on his part. He is satisf-
ed that after seeing him Providence con-
cluded to make the world, and yet Provi-
dence is not given to making mistakes.
He occupies three seats in 4 street car,
audibly damns the conductor, smirks at
any woman who may be decently dress
ed, and believes that he is accepted as a
man of the world. He is, but not of the
world that he would wish to belong TO-
He tells women it was pity he didn't
know them younger, so that he might
have trained them ; if he had, they would
have occupied cells in the House of De
tention.

"Are your horses blooded ?"
"Yes they come Of fair stock"
"Can they make good timer"
"Yes, pretty fair time"
"What do you ask for them?"

night before. "I'm looking for just such
a team. The price suits me. Come to
my office across the way, and I'll give
