Dyspeptics Take Note.

Dyspeptics would do well to observe the following general rule: Live on two meals a day if possible. Never eat to excess. Estimate as nearly as you can the actual needs of the system, and limit the quantity of food to them, remembering that even a healthy person can do worse work if he eats too much. Eat slowly and masticate all food even longer and more thoroughly than a healthy person careful of his digestion would do. Quite dry foods, as a rule, are best suited to dyspeptics, who should drink sparingly with their meals. Some can take hot water in very small quantities without being disturbed by it, but generally it retards digestion. And the same is true of all cold drinks. When one fruit dyspeptics best, and a very little weak tea, if properly made, is not at all likely to do any harm. The food should be neither very hot nor very cold. Properly, it should be about "blood warm." Every one knows from experience just what foods suit them, and what are well borne, of course, the former should be excluded from the diet.—Boston Herald.
