CAUSES OF INDIGESTION.
How Certain Ills Which Affect the
Stomach Become Chronic.


The causes of chronic indigestion are
manifold. but usually and almost al
ways in the beginning. even when tn"
stomach finally becomes actually dis
eaScd. the condition is due to improper
eating 1t may not be that the sufferer
eats COO much, although very many
peopl" who are not gluttonS do thats
but he eats improperly. One who SUI
fcrS from dyspepsia or who wishes to
avoid such suffering should remember
Chat the stomach cannot do all the work
of e3igeStion Before it enters the StOln-
ach the food must be finely divided
and mixed with the saliva. which is as
certainly digestive fluid ia is the gas
trio Juice Gladstone, ie is said. used
to chew every mouthful of food thirty
ewo times, one for each sooth. before
he swallowed it.
Long maStication of Che fooS is use
full in many ways. Pm the grSt place.
it should appea! to all who dcligle in
the pleasures of the table, afOr if the
food is snvory il is tasted longer ana
better when we'll chcWed Sgain, long
maSticntion mixes the foOS we'll with
the saliva and begins its digestion, and
this swnCtnnS the Starcly food and i'm
proves its taste. Finally. if one eats
slowly, he viii have less time to eat
much, and hunger is HppeaSed and a
feeling of safety is attained before the
stomach can become overloaded.
While one is chewing, the food should
be moved from side to side Of the
mouth that the admiXture with the sa-
Iva may be more thorough.
Too much fluid should not be taken
with the meal, but it is not a wise plan
to take none. as is sometimes recon-
mended. The gastric juice should not
be too much diluted, but if the food is
we'll moistened the juice acts better
and more rapidly. One glass of water
with meal is about the right amount.
Cool water. moreover, in moderate
quantity stimulates the secretion of
gastric juice. and wineglassful of ice
water taken before the meal gives a
FLIP to the appetite without any of the
drawbacks of liquor.
If in spite of all precautions chronic
indigestion persists. one should try the
experiment of eating only one kind of
food at a meal-meat. fish or eggs,
without bread and potatoes, or bread
and butter without animal food. The
stomach which rebels at mixed meal
will often do it's work satisfactorily IL
offered only one article of food at a
time.-Youth's Companion.

Snider and Judge Blanchard are we'll
