Er. Baraduc, a French scientist, has

aPolis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
that their nerves are TO blame and are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicine and spring remedies;
the real seat Of the mischief is lost
sight Of; the stomach is the organ to
be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms OF stomach weakness. Ner-
Yous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach SO much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appe
tlte, with accumulation OF gas, sour
rislngs and heartburn.

Cold Ten for soldiers.

Now that alcohol has been tabooed
in the army and navy of>some Of the
leading nations Of the world, the ques-
ton has arisen what is the best drink
with which the soldier can quench
his thirst? Many distinguished Indian
commanders have testified in favor of
tea as a thirst-allayer when on long
march in equatorial lands. The men
under the leadership of Sir Herbert
Kitchener during the recent cam
paign inthe Soudan. who were allowed
no alcoholic stimulants whatever, per-
formed their long journey through the
desert on cold tea. and fought splendid
~ at the end Of it. Tiger hunters in
India, who are often subjected to In
tense heat in the thick jungles, i'm
variably use cold tea as a drink. 1t is
now proposed that our army in Cuba
should be allowed to follow the exam
pie Ct their British brethren in arms
IN India and Egypt. and fill their can
teens with ten instead Of water.
