Laughter and Digestion.


That normal mind is really a
basis of good digestion is shown
by the remarkable sensltivenes>
Of the digestive processes to men
tai conditicns. Sudden sorrow,
bad news, disaster, great losses
Of proper ty or friends, great dis
appointments, not only arrest all
the digestive processes but even
suspend the formation Of the gas
trio juices.
1t has been saown that when
the gastric folhcles are distended
and the gastric juices fl wing
freely from them, when one is
hungry aud eating with great rel
ish, the sudden receipt of bad
news completely reverses the di
gestlve processes. The gastric
glands immediately becom e
parched, dry, feverish, and for d
will remain IN the stomach for
many hours with the digestive
processes absolutely suspended.
The digestion seems to be de.
pendent upon the condition Of
the mind. Often our passing
moods hasten or retard digestion.
We often hear people, especial
ly delicate women who have nerv.
Gus dyspepsia, say that they do
not understand how it is that
they can go out to late suppers or
banquets and eat heartily all sorts
of lucongruous foods without feel
ing any inconvenience after
wards.
They do not realize that 1T S
due to the chan in the mental
attitude. They have had good
time; they have enjoyed them
selves. The lively conversation,
the Jokes which caused them to
laugh heartily, the bright, cheer
full environment, compile tely
changed the mental attitude and
of course, these conditions were
reflected IN the digestion and ev
cry other part of the system
Laughter and s,ood cheer are en-
emles of dyspepsia. Anything
which will divert the dyspeptlc's
mind from his ailments, will I'm
prove his digestion. When they
were at home worrying over their
health, swallowing little dyspep
sia with every mouthful of food,
of course these women could not
assimilate their food. But when
they were having jolly good time
they forgot their ailments and
were surprised afterwards to
find that they had enjoyed their
food. The whole process is men
tai.
People who go to health resorts
attribute their improvement to
change of air or to the waters
they drink, when, as a matter of
fact, 1t has probably been wrought
by change Of environment, change
of mental suggestion, as much as
by the change of air or water.
Spring waters, mountain or
sea air, often get a great deal OF
credit which Is due to recreation

people go away on vacations or
little outings, they go for the pur
pose of enjoying themselves, and,
of course, they are benefited
