Dyspepsia a National Charae-

Some observer has truly said that We are
a nation of dyspeptics. Bishop Still, more
than four hundred years ago, wrote two
lines which might he adopted as motto by
the majority of our na,ive-born citizens:
I cannot ca, but little meat.
My stomach is not good.
Many OF our national characteristics, and
more particularly some of our New England
traits, may with extreme probability he
ascribed to this cause. The wtchersft leIu-
sions, prosecutions Of luakcrs, Blue Laws.
general religious intolerance, and antipathy
to minee pies of our Puritan ancestors may
we'd he attributed TO the torpid liyers and
acid stomschs of confirmed dyspcp,ics and
the resulting mental conditions TO which
such are subject. Daniel Webster says of
them;
In regard to the moral character geuer-
ally of our ancestors, the settlers OF New
England. my opinion is, that they possessed
all the Christian virtues but charity and
they seem never TO have doubted that they
possessed that also. And nobody could sc-
cuse their system or their practice but of
one vice. and that was religious hypocrisy
Of which they had an infusion without ever
being sensible of it.
Blu, for chronic dyspepsia, physical and
mental, the character of the sturdy sub
duers of the wilderness would have lacked
