those who witnessed the Battle of
Bunker Hill. At the age Of 95 years

him. He was good-looking old man

Acute Indigention.


Acute indigestion may result from
many causes but when 1t follows Inn
mediately upon holiday feast, 1t Is
usually attributable TO oyerdstention
OF the stomach, aggravated. perhaps,
by the presence OF such indigestibls
things as pastry and plum pudding.
1t occurs a little oftener In children,
but i'll them it is rarely so serious in
It's consequences as it Is in adults,
for nausea Is more readily induced
and more promptly yielded to, and as
soon as the stomach has got rid OF
It's burden, the trouble Is at an end.
An adult, on the other hand, strug-
giles against the feeling of oppression.
and often intensifies 1t while seeking
to relieve it by taking stimulating POI
lions.
In many cases the first indication of
the disturbance is loss of conscious
ness or a violent CONFUSION resem-
bling an epileptlc seizure. Sometimes,
indeed, 1t Is difficult to distinguish tho
attack from one of heart failure or an
apoplexy, for both these conditions
are favored by overindulgence. A dis
tinction is important, however. for
neglect of appropriate treatment In
either condition may favor fatal ter
mination
The old advice to quit a meal before
n feeling of safety has been obtained
is still good; one should cease at least
before a sense of discomfort has been
produced. and room should always be
allowed for the secretion of the gastric
juice, which in an adult often amounts
to nearly a quart. When the walls of
the stomach have been dlstended to
their utmost capacity by food, the
addition of SO much fluid would seem
of itself enough to induce the attack
! or If the distentiOn prevents the se-
erection of the fluid, as 1t does nor
NAL muscular movements, the process
Of digestion ia delayed, the food is re-
tanned too long in the stomach 1t I'M
dergoes abnormal decomposition, In
Illumination IS induced, and this ex-
tending to the small intestine may lead
to more protracted illness.
In the treatment OF acute indiges-
ton, the production of nausea should
be favored When vomiting occurs, IL
should not be checked until the stom-
ach has been relieved of its burden.
II 1t does not occur spontaneously, 1t
should generally be induced.
II Inconsistencies or CONFUSION
has supervened. a physician must be
called without delay, for it may be
necessary to administer an emetio
simultaneously.
Following this, laxative Is gen
orally given, and the diet for a few
days is limited to easily digestible,
unlr1itating food Milk, of course, is
the safest form of nourlshment, ex-
cept for those with whom 1t does not
agree, and the addition to 1t of little
lime water or Vichy will often remove
all objection.-Youth's Companion.

FRENCH DOMESTlCITY,
Families Are Nowhere More United
than They Are in France.

than they Are in France
Curiously enough, one Of their
greatest qualities, domesucity, is about
the very last thing that foreigners of
any nation ever think them capable
of, says a Paris correspondent of the
London Globe. And yet in no country
III the world does one see families SO
united as in France The hearuess-
ness of the French marriage system
is often commented upon, and yet
French marriages turn out, on the
whole, just as we'll as any other, II
not better. French parents under
stand that in bringing children into
the world they undertake RESPONSE
bility, and from the moment girl L
born her dot is begun to be hoard
ed up. Then when she arrives at a
manageable age young man OF
somewhat about her own age and 500
cal position and possessed of a SIM
liar fortune is searched for by friends
and relatives, and when found a mar
riage is arranged" | have known
one woman who bitterly complained
Of thus being thrown into the arms Of
Il stranger, but only one. And She
although she complains about the
want of romance Of her young days
has made a most admirable wife and
mother, and certainly a useful mem
Der OF society.
French husbands and wives are
usually the very best Of friends In
the world, seconding each other In
whatever state of life they happen to
be, and considering the bringing up
and marrying off of their children as
things Of the very greatest importance.
| have before me a letter received the
other day from an old friend, now
widower announcing the marriage of
one of his two daughters. Curiously
quaint to English ears sounds the man
ner OF his announcement: "Aujourd'-
hui te viens vous faire part due
marriage de ma file Marie avec Nj.
Cest un charmant Jeune homme don't
ie COMMAS la famille depuis longtemps
ct Qui me presente toutes les assur-
ances de bonheur que te puts sou
halter" can hardly imagine an
English father announcing his daugh-
ter's marriage in these terms! or
course, during the engagement the
young man and his ''Gancee" will not
have many opportunities Of becoming
better known to each other, as they
will never be LIFT for one moment
alone together. Tut that, as expert
ence has proved, is no reason why
their marriage should not turn out to
be very happy one.
