If too much IS taken nature revoits

and enjoy the food day by day. 1t is
too valuable to your system and to

not more than three heaping teaspoons

STEAM SPEEDS AT SEA.
Power Required For Increased Speed
Outlook For the Future.

Coasters Magazine)
As to the speed of the future. 1 re-
member reading an article on mechan-
ical impossibilities written about
twenty-five years ago. 1t was well
written, and possibly it was generally
correct, but one operation, which was
cited as impossible of accomplishment,
was that of propelling a steamer at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour
across the ocean. At that time the At
lantic had never been crossed by
screw steamer at so high a rate as
fifteen miles an hour, the Scotia being
the fastest liner in those days, she hav-
ing crossed the Atlantic at an average
rate of fourteen and one third knots.
Steaming across the ocean at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour might,
therefore, well have been looked upon
at that date as impossible but today
there are steamers which have reached
that speed, and there are others in
course of construction which may prob
ably exceed that rate across the At
lantic
Although. roughly speaking, the
power required to propel a steamer
varies with the cube of the speed, yet,
before third of the next century ex-
pires, another increase of at least fifty
per cent in ocean speed may safely be
plished it would be too hazardous TO
attempt to surmise: but 1 may point
out how l think it will not be done, and
that is by carrying and handling five
thousand tons of bunker Goals in a hull
drawing nearly fifty feet of water.
The model of the ocean mail steamer
of the next century will probably be
that of very much enlarged de
stroyer" of great breadth and length
and small draught of water forward
Lighter and stronger materials will
compose the structure, which may be
moved by multiple propellers, possibly
working in a tunnel, so that a number
of wheels could be worked by separate
shafts, actuated by rotary motors, as
the sizes of screw crafts and engines
even now under construction are peril
ously large; or the motive power may
be produced by compressed air or gas.
Then. the form of least resistance
probably being discovered, the hull,
broad and light in comparison with the
augmented dimensions. will rise on top
of the waves rather than pass through
them. The rolling and pitching may
be more severe than at present. but
with improved cabins and a shortened
voyage, the difference may not be no.
ticed. The construction of a steamer of
60, 900 tons will probably not trouble
the constructors of the future nearly
as much as did the building of the
Great Eastern those of the past. There
will be infinitely less labor both
mental and physical, than was required
for the construction of a great ship in
those days.

materials to dissolve ii, lies in the
stomach like lead.
This food. after a time, decays. during
which process it gives off foul gases.
Instead of being converted into nour-
ishmenr for the blood. it is changed
into poisonous gases, which distend the
stomach. dilating it so that the organ
presses upward on the heart and lungs.
This causes a sense of smothering.
relief from which is only obtained by
-belching up the gas, or its passage
along the bowels, where il causes a
sense of distress and smothering
Along with the formation of gases
that take place as result of disease
in the stomach. there is found a coated
tongue. loaded as it is with the parti-
cles of decayed food that have risen
from the stomach.
There is nausea, and sometimes vom-
iting in the morning, with hawking
and gagging upon arising, and it re-
quires quite an effort to free the stom-
ach of the mass of mucous that has
accumulated in it during the night.
The patient gets up in the morning
his throat is full of nasty slime, which
dropped there in the night.

v. The Old Plan.

The old plan of doctoring for stOm-
ach troubles consisted in purges and
emetics.
Drugs that irritated or infiamed the
stomach.
The old plan OF treating stomach
troubles was like heaping dry fuel en-
a smoldering fire.
Under Drs. Shores treatment, the
infiamed and diseased lining of the
stomach is first soothed and quoted by
the use of proper remedies
The sore and inflamed spots are heal
ed. and the lining of the organ is re-
stored to its wonted tone and healthy
condition.
Under this plan healing drugs quiet
the sore. and infiamed spots that have
been throwing out quantities of sticky,
Shiny mucous that is mixed with the
food and has coated it over, thus pre-
venting the gastric juices from dis
solving and digesting it,
When once healed, the lining of the
stomach is enabled to serve the pur-
pose that nature intended it to serve.
