will prevent much of t the he inattention and sleepiness that la Is frequently observed during the service or session following are some extracts of a lesture delivered by F beardsley M D on the subject of FOOD AND DIGESTION the laws which govern health are gods laws lust just as surely as the moral its his law it is ia our duty to understand these laws and to obey them good health is not only a privilege but a duty a solemn and bounden duty the majority of sickness and suffering Is due to disobedience of these laws and not to the athe mysterious dispensation of an an all all wise providence as many assert it is not gods will that we suffer pain largely as we do except we disobey his laws it is gods will that if we disobey his laws that we pay the penalty ignorance is no BO excuse and will secure no exemption from the penalty we may violate the laws lawa of our country and yet not suffer we may be pardoned but when we violate natures laws jaws she knows no pardon and will grant none to keep our bodies in health we must use them good health and idleness are utterly incompatible the muscles of our body become strong and well developed by use the muscles of the blacksmith are ace large and powerful strongly in contrast with those of the young man w who tio measures tape good health may also be largely due to te good living by selecting tile foods best supply the various principles plea we need that part of the body used the most needs the most repair the man who uses his bis muscles by hard labor needs those kinds of foods which best supply muscular waste while those who use the brain require those kinds of food which best supply the brain with its thinking force we must all take a certain amount of food of a heat giving nature to not only keep us warm but heat supplies force to a tain extents extent that part of our food which best supplies muscular waste is termed nitrogenous or muscle forming food that which is heat gly ing alad abd fat forming Js is the carbonaceous while the brain forming is the nothing is ever successfully cess fully accomplished by chance nature dries ades everything by fixed and unalterable laws if an artist would make a beautiful beautia ul painting it requires the nicest skill and care to select ael eci mix and apply his colors in a way to make those nice adaptations of light and shade which go to make up a beautiful pai painting ntinA even if a man wants a new buggy made he prefers to see that every piece ol 01 of timber is id selected the lyest best possible second growth material but we can buy new buggies buggie we can buy new paintings but not so with this body this bis house we live in we must take it from the hands of the creator cultivate and develop its resources pre preparing thereby to meet the great responsibilities of life to be able to make the most of life it must be evident to all that no two moments are our bodies composed of the same saine particles of matter but constantly constant Jy undergoing change every move we make involves waste the worn out particles ave ae being taken down and conveyed off and new bues from the food we at are ever coming in their places it may be truly said that every moment we are dying and ire are being reborn it t must also be evident that ahat roe e wan who is using his bis muscles at hard muscular labor requires a different kind of food from the man who sits quietly in his room at hard study in the first instance there is a large loss of the muscular tissue and but little of brain material while in the econe there is a large loss lose of the brain feeding principle and but little muscular waste we go out in the country we find the farmers farmen one of them manufacturing the milk from nil his dairy into butter whether be churns the milk or churns churna the cream in either case he be separates from the milk the fat oily or r heat giving principle plo which is preserved for table use while all the muscular muss muis cular forming brain feeding ples plea and the water are afe riven given to the me calves and pigs and if the calves and pigs get no other nourishment for weeks and months together than buttermilk butter ter milk they will become strong and beartrand heart beart yand will do d well while the butter on the white wheat bread Is led to the children who become pale and sickly and aad many of them die early only one halt half of the children born live lire to mature maiure years from the fact that the calves and pigs get the very muscle forming arinel principle e that the children so largely need many many a child is well led fed upon carbonaceous food but is stary log for muscular food Another farmer altures the milk of his dairy into cheese by bringing in contact with the freshly drawn milk the digestive principle in iii the form ot the stomach of a lower animal the so called rennet the first steps in dl digestion estioc be begins no by this separation of the le nourishing part from that which is not nourishing flourishing the nourishing part Is preserved in the form of cheese for table use while the remainder or so called whey is given to the calves and pigs who cannot drink enough of it to have their bodies well formed the farmer under stands this and while feeding his calves aud and pigs whey he gives them along with this some meal or something else to 10 make up what the whey lacks and thus properly develops their oodles oodles while the children become pale pale any puny and sickly and die early 0 0 if pei costs twenty five live cents per I 1 pound and pork five cents beef is far the cheaper in the long run and best for us and there is more actual muscle forming principle la in five cents worth of oatmeal than there would be in fifty cents worth of pork yet there are those who are slow to become convinced that pork is not a good article of food they can hardly become convinced that our bodies are made up from the food we eat and unless we eat good food we cannot have good bodies and good brains we might illustrate this by taking a little preen green wol boim in such as are I 1 sometimes found in large numbers on OB tomato vines and placing it on the petals of a rose leaving the others on the vine now each partakes of food guite different they mature thus each passes to the chrysalis statland state and become changed to the form of a butter fly fl those whose bodies are made up u 0 of the tomato vines are coarse dur dull and sluggish having no bright or beautiful colors to attract us towards them while the one whose body developed from food quite different has now become a butterfly of exceeding great brilliancy and beauty so unlike the first that if we had bad not known we could scarcely believe they had ever belonged to the same family bowe so we may improve not only our physical and mental but even our moral condition by partaking of food best beat adapted to our wants old dr johnson once said it if a man drinks beer three times a day tor for a lifetime he be will finally get to think beer feel beer and act beer I 1 think it may be said with equal truth thava thata man who eats pork three times a day for a lifetime will finally get to think pork feel pork and will act very hoggishly indeed dr adam dark clark the commentator never ate pork at one time having been invited to dine by one of his parishioners he was wa requested deold to ask a blessing before bore h him m as the only meat roast pig and remembering remember ins the divine law the swine is unclean of him ye shall not eat at first it Is i said he be seemed confused but after a moments pause he folded his hands bands and closing his eves said 0 rod god if thou canet bless hat thou curse under the law ten then bless this pig pi dr dark clark said sad if if he were called upon to offer the he t most appropriate sacrifice to the devil he would know of nothing more appropriate prop than roast pig stuffed with tobacco it if we overeat at our thanksgiving or christmas dinners the food overeaten not being properly digested begins to forment ferment acid is formed and gas developed the the acid being absorbed in the blood along alon with the nourishing part of the food has the effect to cause rheumatism neuralgia and sick headache we should eat slowly chew the food thoroughly thorough and take no water tea or coffee wit with the meal these fluids if taken with the meal dilute or weaken the gastric juice lessening its power to act on the tood food properly to illustrate this we take a vial half full of alcohol and put in ansome some camphor gum now it if to the camphor gum we add some water to wash it down the result will be to dilute the alcohol lessening its power to act on the camphor gum the same principle we drink with our meals if any fluid fiala is taken with our meals it should be milk the gastric juice can act on milk but not on water tea or coffee we should take with our meals no pepper lepper pepper sauce catchup mustard or highly seasoned sauces for these berve to irr irritate itse inflame and excite the stomach they cause an excess of gastric juice to be poured out 1 which will be correspondingly deficient in quality and they serve to make us eat more food than other otherwise inclined to do and harm can only result from this for nature never forgets to charge to our account every improper physiological act of our lives relentless and unforgiving nature will always collect her gills bills after eating one meal we should give the stomach plenty of time to rest after performing its work before the next meal live five hours should elapse that it may regain its energies we may eata eat a hearty breakfast and dinner but supper upper the last meal of the day should obe usurper us id be the lightest mel meal always we find and on the eight side of the stomach the liver liter which in an ordinary sized man weighs flom three to three and one half bait pounds the office of the liver is ia to secrete the bile which mixing with the food after the stomach and pancreas have done their work finishes the process of converting starch into sugar dr willard parker of new york in lecturing at lone ione time said of ali organs of the ing life the liver performs ills office most faltha faithfully ully and IS least liable to get out of order yet of all organs in 14 the body the liver during liseby ignorant people to 1 blamed the ithe most lie he said 11 if we could only open and look into the stomachs of some of ou patients who imagine themselves bilious we should find the so called biliousness lo la due to the presence in the stomach of some indigestible food now the liver can not perform its office until alter after the stomach las has done its work what people usually call biliousness is indigestion algest lon the they largely doctor the liver when it la is the stomach that is out of order prom froid the fact act that people suffer largely from indigestion and believe they suffer from liver difficulties there have arisen all over tw this country what my may be termed hungry wolves n cheeps hee ps clothing sell self styled doctors who have awre no diplomas but who manufacture the so called bilious pills 19 and these are advertised so thoroughly id the various patent medicine almanacs where persons may read all the symptoms of the ached and pains ahel they ever had and they are told if if they feel ce so and so take doctor so and sos sols bilious pills now the majority of bilious pills do more harm barm than good they make more people sick than well they kill more they than they cure and it would be better for ai all concerned it if the bilious pills could never be obtained except when they are prescribed by your family doctor I 1 remember at one time while riding in western nw now york noticing on an a newly painted bridge where some enterprising agent had painted in large letters the words t use tr dr so bo and aos sos bilious plus pills and lust just beyond it a wag bad taken a brush and with different colored paint put the words and prepare to meet thy god it certainly seemed very proper 25 tracts on health topics for loats A book about what and how to
