THE BODY AND ITS HEALTH.


SECONDARY MAsrIcArIoN. In respect
TO this peculiarly, commonly termed
human cud chewing, DR. Carl Laewe
contributes an interesting personal eX-
perience to the DeUtSchs Mod, Ze't0ag.
He found at first that, after eating 0rdi-
nary green salad, he suffered from IN
creased malaise OF the stomach until five
or six hours later there was II rcgurglta-
ton of small, somewhat macerated, por-
tons which had no markedly sour taste.
Upon mastication. however the activity
became apparent, and, later on the same
was observed in connection with meats
and fats. After another interval different
articles would regu7gitate especially
after hasty meal, and in particular
when d quantity of air had been swal-
| lowed. In these cases there was some
fluid which accompanied the masses that
appeared unchanged to the taste the
same phenomenon being observed after
drinking coffee or using tobacco, The
author regards the cause of this rs being
largely influenced by the anterior wall
of the thorax that is when the stomach
is filed il assumes horizontal position,
and the action of the anterior thoracic
wall in inspiration forces portion of the
contents in the cardia, and, besides this,
there is the suction effect and the mus
cular action of the gsophagus and
pharnyx. which also aid in projecting
the matter in an upward direction Thus,
the secondary mastication is merely ex-
cited by the presence of food.
Women SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF
SLEEP. Do you know why SO many of
the women of America look prcmaturcly
gray and careworn and are a prey to all
sorts of nervous diseases that make them
unit for society aud change from pleas
ant companions to fretty, irritable inva-
lids, whom no one likes to have aroundG
Well, ify you don't we will give you the
answer 1t is because they do not get
sufficient sleep A woman will plead
that she hasn't time TO lie down for
few minutes in the daytime, and she will
infringe upon the hours of the night,
which should be given to sound
healthy sleep in order to finish
some piece of work that could
rs we'll be finished on the morrow.
She will rush and hurry all day long,
and then, when the household is hushed
in slumber at night, she will sit up to
read the daily paper, thinking that she
will not have to pay for the minutes she
is stealing from the hcalth-giving sleep
that comes before midnight A physi-
clan who is a specialist In nervous dis
eases says that women should sleep at
least nine hours at night and one hour in
the daytime Perhaps you say 1t is
quite impossible to sleep, even though
YOU lie down, in daylight. Possibly you
will not the few times you try it, but
keep up the practice and soon your eyes
will close every day at a certain time and
u you will be drawing in the great draughts

c TREATMENT or KIDNEY STONES. -
0 Renal hthiasis consists in saline concre-

D the urine allows to precipitatc in the in

{ into the bladder, and this migration IS

T tions are composed, are in some instances
