prevalent form is by the two meal plan of eating as by this means the stomach is given more time for its work six or seven hours should intervene between the meals the more nearly the patient confines himself to articles included in n the first list the better progress he will make caution we would impress upon the mind of the dyspeptic this fact that when he finds himself well again he must not

restored to a suf degree ol 01 health and vigor to enable it to do its duty daty well under favorable circumstances it will be certain to fall fail and relapse into a diseased state again as soon as those conditions are no longer supplied the dyspeptic must make up his mind to seuay V carefully the laws ot of good dig digestion d and apply them to his own case age not only as a means of recovering his health but as an essential for ke keeping eald well when he has oace once recovered when the stomach has once lost its natural healthy tone it will never aado bear the degree of abuse
