THEUsE BITTERs."
Influence of Appetizers on Digestive
Processes.

What is the logic of the bitter appe-
Tiers that are commonly taken just be-
fore the heavy meals of the day both
in this country and abroad? The OBJ
ject is apparently to stimulate the Sc
erection of gastric juice, but it has been
suggested that it would be more physi-
illogical to make use of a small quand-
ty of alIxali instead as that is known
to exercise a favorable influence upon
peptic secretion.
The chief objections to the use of bit
tiers have been based on researches by
Tchelzov, who found that the admins
tration of large doses Of quassia him
dered rather than helped the digestive
process. Reichmann, moreover, showed
that in the fasting stomach, the secre-
tory activity of which is normal or di-
minished, a bitter drink produced less
secretion of gastric juice than a draft
Of distilled water. These experiments
take account solely of the specific ac
ton of the bitters, and do not regard
their reflex effects. These have been
particularly studied by Borissov, whose
results are analysed in a recent number
of La Semaine Medicale. BorissOv
found that If a little wad of wool soak
ed in tincture of gentian was put into
the mouth (of a dog) Immediately be-
fore food was administered marked
stimulate effect upon gastric secretion
resulted; but If the bitter was used fif-
teen to thirty minutes before the meal
it was quite inefficaciOus. 1t is con-
have the power of rendering gustatory
sensations more acute and of exercising
a temporarily stimulant effect upon gas
trio secretions for this purpose they
should be given Immediately before the
meal in small doses and in the form Of
tincture (ten to twenty drops) rather
than cachets or pills. We may remark
upon this that the habit is obviously
susceptible of abuse. particularly when.
as is usually the case. some strong alco-
holic liquor is used as the vehicle of the
bitter AS a matter Of fact, such a
stimulant action is the real function
which is intended to be subserved by
the soup which is taken at the begin
ming of a meal. There is a tendency to
consume this in somewhat large guam
THY; in such cases il tends to be harm
full rather than conducive to digestion
but there can be no doubt, on the other
hand. that the use of a tablespoonful
or two of a hot and sapid fluid at the
beginning of a meal is an excellent
means of giving the stomach a fair start

KIss1NaER AT MICHIGAN.
Detroit Pitcher Taking Course in
Engineering at Ann Arbor.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec 2s.-"Rube"
(Charles) Kissinger, who pitched last
league team, has entered the Univer-
sity of Michigan as a junior engineer.
With 81 200 of baseball earnings in his

Some pleasantly, showing that pro-
fessional baseball is not despised even
by learned men, marked "Rube's" entry
to college.

of the new student, what is your oc-

Il am baseball player" Kissinger
answered, and it is said he busted one
toe on the floor as he spoke.
Would that all baseball players

winters as prohtably and as harmless
ly as you know. Your name, please"
Charles Kissinger.''
"Ah, Mr. Kissinger." Prof. Goulding
heard of you. Perhaps you remember
we have met before. Let me assure
you I am good at baseball dope and

Admirers stopped "Rube" before he
could leave the campus.

that is incorrect am here to combine
business with pleasure. When I quit
baseball l don't want to start life with
pick and shovel, understand? Life is
something better than picks and SHOW
els. If I should ever want to get mar
ried-in fact, if 1 should ever get crazy
in any way-I want a profession by
which I can support myself.
Il want to do a work more lasting
than making a few rooters throw their

doesn't trade men in the winter and
trade on 'em in summer. Of course, I
may not graduate. for getting called

"Rube" stopped joshing and an
nounced seriously that he intended to
help coach the Michigan baseball team
free of charge for his alma mater next
spring; also that he has an offer of $3.50
a month at engineering in Texas.

honest results. Chicago today is the

But now that they have something 70

they would solve the problems that
remain to be solved. And 1t is these
things that they have not done that

cago's sterling quality and its uncom-

the ridicule came: from the world out

of all that and its undisturb bed diSSat-
