Seems as if all the things we like dis
agree with us, and all the things we don't
like, agree with us. Dyspepsia turks in
most of the good things we eat, and indi-
gestion follows the appetite. Of course it
isn't Natures fault Nature does the best
she can, and if man will only help her a
little bit at the right time, he may eat
what he likes and as much as he likes. Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for people who
are troubled with Indigestion. Particu-
larly for those in whom it manifests itself
in the form OF constipation. The pellets"
are quick and easy in their action. They
are in perfect harmony with Nature. They
effect a permanent cure. You need take
them regularly only little while. After
that, use them occasionally when you need
them-when you have eaten anything that
dsagrees with you. They may be taken
just as freely as you would take water or
any other necessity of life. Once used they
are Away in favor.

Baths In Japan.

The Rev. w. Weston, in the
course of a paper on "The Geo
graphy of japan" read before the
Geographical Society, stated some
facts which, so far as we know, are
new in the history of hygiene,
says the London Spectator. In the
mountains there are many hot
mineral springs, nesting general
ly in gulIies below the highest
points, but still farup the ascents.
The peasantry are very fond Of
these baths, ard indulge in them
to an incredible extent. The tenn
perature is usually from 100 de-
orees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
and in one place Mr.. Weston knew
Of, "where the water was just
about blood heat, man would
stay in practically for month on
end, taking care, however, to
place a heavy stone on his knees
to keep him from floating or turn
ing over in his sleep. The care
taker of this particular establish
ment, CHEEKY old man of some 70
summers. himself stayed in the
bath the whole winter through"
We know from the experience of
the South SEQ islands that a hu-
man being can live in warm sea
water for thirty-six hours; but
that life can be maintained prac-
tically for months in sulphuretted
fresh water is an addition to the
records of human endurance.
One wonders what other quail
ties of fish such men possess.
