The statement that no man is stronger than
his stomach will appeal to every man who
has ever suffered from stomach vtrouble.n
He will remember the growing feeling of
weakness until he was hardly able to crawl
around, and could work only occasionally,
and then with difficulty. The danger Of
dyspepsia roots in the fact that when disease
attacks the stomach and other organs of di-
gestion and nutrition the whole body must
be the sufferer, for when the stomach is dis
eased and the digestive processes are imper-
fectly performed, there is a sure loss of nutri-
ton which is felt by every organ of the body.

THE CURSE OF TREATING.


The custom of treating is one of the
most pernicious and foolish that ever
cursed society, and its abolishment, If
it were only practicable, would be one
of the greatest public boons. The cus-
tom is said to have originated in the
primitive days of the nation, when the
settlers had to resort to the mutual
help plan, and when the neighbors
gathered for barnraising or log-rolling
the host would set 'em up for the boys,
and upon similar occasions the compli-
ment was returned. But, whatever its
origin, it ls distinctly an American GUS
tom. In no other country do men
stand up to a bar and buy drinks alter.
nately for each other until both become
tired. .Two-thirds of the drinking done.
two-thirds of the money spent for drink,
two-thirds of the resulting retchedness,
are due to the treating BUSINESS
Men take drink after drink that they
do not want, and spend money to pay
for drinks for other people, oftentimes
men they perhaps dislike. Furthermore
the custom, looked at in the proper
way. is disgusting and unmanly. 1t
assists in forming bad associations
habits of loafing around, and precludes
a person from the most sacred privilege
that of choosing his associates. Peo-
pleiwho join in the social drink should
be those who are the closest and most
intimate relations. There is no more
hospitality or generosity in the Ameri-
can treating than there is in the giving
of an Indian, who takes his presents
back. Every man keeps mean little
tab in his head on his fellows. and the
score is kept even all around.
The number of men who go to drink
ing places and buy drinks for themselves
is comparatively few. Abolish treating
and the saloons would be shorn Of
three.fourths of their revenue, and the
number would be diminished in the
same ratio. 1t was upon these facts
and principles that some years ago 9
club was formed in Brooklyn with the
object of making it discreditable fol
any gentleman to give or accept treat
But it accomplished nothing. and wal
short-lived. The custom, expensive
