ON INDIGESTIoN.-The food which should be avoided by dyspeptic people is that which is tough, acescent, oily, and r uci- lagitious. The flesh of full-grown animals is more bealthful than that of young, except beef. Fish is not easy of digestion, nor is it so nutritive as is generally imagined. Venison is good, and so is game, and eggs, in moderation. Soft bread is not so good as stale, or biscuit. Fresh vegetables, from their tendency to ferzent, are bad; and so are home-made wines. Cold fruits are bad, parti- cularly the melon. Grapes, strawberries, gooseberries, and currants, are the wholesomest. Turtle, mock-turtle, and all other soups, as well as fat, cheese, milk, butter, &c., should be scrupulously avoid- ed. Plum pudding, dumplings, and all boiled flour, is poizon to, dyspeptic penple. Drink should not be taken at meals unless thirst calls for it v much fluid dilutes the gastric juices too much, and weakens their power. This is the reason that tea is so inDurous, for many take three, four, and iive cups at a meal. Cider, when it is really good, is a wholesome erink. As a grand rule, eating rnode- rately should be observed, and not so often as people imagine; three or four hours at least should pass between meals.-Medical Ad- viser.
