WHEN MY GORGE RISES BECOME
 CHOLERIC.

The hallmark of gentleman in Robert Louis Stevenson's era was the way he LOOK slap with g. smile and kick in the pants with gentle expostulation. His gorge rose only when an. other gentleman questioned the regularlty or his origin.
 This rising of ones gorge is interesting application of principle of physiology. The arrest of peristalss. Haven't time now to stop and tell you what peristalsis is. But when your peristalsis is right the worlds a grand place to live. You can learn all about it by reading Prof Walter Cannons Bodily Changes in Pain, Hunger. Fear and Rage" Cannon first noticed, with an X-ray. that anger immediately stopped all movement in the stomach or intestine Fright, alarm or fear has the same effect.
 Sometimes the peristalsis is not only stopped, but it is reversed. No wonder you feel lump in the throat. That's your gorge rising.
 The same unpleasant emitions that arrest peristasis tend to prevent the normal or nat ural election of bile from the -gall-bladder into the duodenum. It is quite conceivable that an individual who is subject to anger or much an- noyance is more likely to become jaundiced than is one who has a cheerful or unexcitable disposition.
 Choler means bile Melancholia meant black or dark bile long ago. Asiatic cholera was for merly thought due to some fault of the bile. The familiar old name for acute gastro-enter tits in hot weather-cholera morbus-has a similar connotation Of course know now that it is neither gEeen apples nor just the heat but infection poisoning, usually from food that has not been kept properly refrigerated and free from contamination.
 Recently my gorge has been rising good deal and think have been choleric a bit too often. One thing that has had this effect on me is the gratuitous association of my name with that of a fake Doctor" who is not physician at all but nevertheless gets away with the title, thanks to the presumption of his exploiters and the credulty of many laymen. Gosh, how my gorge comes bouncing up when some wretch quotes what this fake Doctor" says and asks me to explain my own teaching which seems at variance.
 But why should I wear out my arteries in such bootless passion? If the Wiseacre public likes to be humbugged that way, let em go as far as they like with the trick doctor" and his oh, so plausible teachings about diet and health
 What I need is more bowling. If l were old enough might make 1t golf. If lived where there Is no bowling on the green most of the year I'd go in for gardening. carpentry, wood working, hiking, archery shooting, casting. curling, skating skiing, or what have you. Any thing at which one can play or work whenever he has the time and inclination.
 Read particularly and thoughtfully what Prof Cannon says in the end of his book about Physical Substitutes for Warfare" Any kind of agreeable or wholesome physical ACTION Is n fne substitute for ones own little warfare with the vexations and tribulations of life.
