ViE MUST EAT SLOWLY

Says This Is the Best Eule to Follow to Avoid Dyspepsia. "There are two good- reasons why

rapid eating causes more dyspepsia

than anything el," said a noted authority. "In the first place, rapidly

swallowed food is not thoroughly chewed. It goes into the stomach be

fore it has been broken up and per

meated by the saliva of the mouth;

too often It is washed down with Ice

water. The other reason is that a man who eats in a hurry usually rushes bak to work. He puts his energy into his work, and draws his blood to his muscles or his brain, at a

time when it is needed in his stomach.'

The best rule to follow is to "eat

and rest for a while after your meal.'

Dyspepsia is easily avoided but diffl

Ult to cure. Instead of dosing with

pepsin, in an ineffectual attempt to lock the stable after the horse ! stol

en, the best practitioners nowadays prefer to administer some good alkaline elixir or neutraliiing cordial to

stimulate the gastric Juices and put

an lmmeaiaie cnecic on icnneniauun. The following formula has been sug

gested as making an effective antacid

and neutralizing corrective: Half

ounce sodium phosphate, 1 ounce es

sence of sealmint, half easpoonful

eood baking soda, enough water to

make 8 ounces. Dose; Two teaspoons-

ful before each meal.

The sodium phosphate especially

has a distinct value in eliminating

wastes before each meal.

It is said that this simple mixture

It can be mixed at home or obtained

from any druggist will relieve gas

immediately, and that it will perma

nently cars long standing cases of in

digestion within two or three weeks,
