As 1t requires some years of careless
ness and abuse to possess this disease
In perfection, we must give. an equal
amounf' of time to its cure. Where the
tendency has been inherited, the dis
ease ~ very stubborn, and sometimes,
indeeot lncurable, but can in any case
be palflated Cures can only be effected
by rigid diet and the general every
day manner of living must be in har-
mony.j We must never lose sight of the
fact tf3at miserable old age is await
ing thPse who dissipate, in the smallest
degreet when tendencies toward the
disease} are present.
The rules to be followed are quickly
and e'tsily written; would they might
be as promptly followed. If you reside
in the city, get as near it's borders as
possible; the country. is best for all.
Take regular exercise in the open air.
Go inland out to your daily task on a
bicycle. If this is out of the question,
take walk or ride every day EXer-
else must be taken and gradually in
creased as the system will allow.
Never ride or walk until fatigue comes
on. Stop when you feel that perhaps
another hundred yards would be toler-
| ated. Establish and adhere to regular
hours for retiring and rising, and for
meals Cold mot iced water should be
the only beverage.
Whole wheat bread, toasted, or bread
e. al he
and fa.{s IN moderation. Mutton twice
q week, chicken twice. sweetbreads
once, tripe once, and the remaining
days fish, and let meat at all times be
used only once day. A lettuce of
pure salad, with French dressing OF
pure olive oil, should be eaten at every
dinner. No sweets, pastry or cakes
must ever be taken. A few almonds,
say six, and one Brazilian nut, may be
the dessert at dinner. Spinach, cab
bage raw or lightly cooked, squash,
onions, asparagus, celery, Brussels
sprouts andlkale, are admissible; rice,
too, plainly boiled, may be used as a
vegetable every day, or, cooked in milk,
as a dessert. Milk may be taken as
food, but not at the same meal with
meat. Buttermilk, with a slice OF
toast, may form the lunch two or three
times a week. No spices or pepper
should be used, and but little salt, and
above all, no vinegar. Vegetables must
be taken in greater quantities than
animal food, and both in much less
quantities than is usually ingested in
health. Should too great a loss OF
weight occur, increase gradually the
amount of food. Stewed dates and figs
without sugar, served with whipped
cream, are admissible.
The relation of govt to dyspepsia is
that of cousins, so be very careful not
to eat that which is not easily digested,
No medicine can effect permanent
cure, unless this rational dietary is fol
lowed. The clothing must be worn in
harmony, also. If flannel is worn, let
1t be light-sill1 is preferable; further
the garment worn in the day must not
be worn at night. The night ''set'
may be of lighter texture. A tepid
bath should be taken before breakfast
each morning. The abdomen, too, may
be well rubbed with olive oil and ely
cerine before retiring.
Sleep at least eight hours, ten are
better, in well-ventilated room.
Live as much of the day as possible
in the open air.
Remember, too, that govt has many
stages before it reaches the acute. II
is steadily becoming the bane of Amer
lea. If you are taking little exercise
and partaking of too much rich food
If you feel drowsy after family meals
and nod in the family pew Though il
Gods house there is often wicked
want of ventilation), then you may
reasonably suspect govt and gov
ern yourself accordtngly.-Ho Household

A Bad Mistake.
