ONE PRIVILEGE OF DYSPEPTIC
At Least He Has Keen Enjoyment In the Satisfaction of Quenching Thirst. It is one of the few privileges of tha dyspeptic that he thoroughly understands what thirst is, and consequently thoroughly enjoys the quenching of it. Not for him the moderation of the exasperatingly well-balanced man who. in the hottest weather, only moistens his lips with a little water, or at the most washes out his mouth, but does not swallow the cooling liquid. No, the dyspeptic requires his drinks to be very long, and either very cold or very hot, and when in hot weather the dyspeptic hears the tinkle of ice and glass, and sees the dullness of frost on the outside of a tumbler, he knows that one of the pleasantest physical sensations procurable for him in this world is at hand. His imagination is stirred, not only by the thought of liquid matter passing down his throat, but by the artificial differences of temperature which he is about to produce, by the idea of a cold glacial stream being poured into the arid desert of his system.
