vents proper digestion. The first thing ! to do is to remove that fermentation, and put the stomach into a condition to receive food and dispose of it properly. This is effected by taking water into the stomach, as hot as it can be borne, an hour before each meal. This leaves the stomach clean and pure, like a boiler that has been washed out. Then put into the stomach food that is in the highest degree nutritious and the least disposed to fermentation. No food answers this description better than tender beef. A little stale bread may be eaten with it. Drink nothing but pure water, and as little of that at meals as possible. Vegetables, # pastry, sweets, tea, coffee, and alcoholic liquor should be avoided. Put tender beef alone into a clean and pure stomach three times a day, and the system will be fortified and built up until the watting away, that is the chief feature of 'onsuu ption, ceases, and recuperation sets in.' " This reasoning impressed me. I bofan by ii king one cup of hot water an our before each meal, and gradually increased the dose to three cups. At first it was '^unpleasant to take, but now I drink it with a relish that I never experienced in drinking the choicest wine. I began to pick up immediately after the new treatment, and gained fourteen pounds within two months. I have gained ground steadily in the trying climate of New York ; and I tell you, sir, I feel on a sure way to recovery." Here an old gentleman who had been standing near, and evidently listening to the conversation, turned to the teacher and said : s " This remedy of hot-water drinking has attracted my attention for some time. It has been of immense service in relieving me of a terrible dyspepsia that tormented me for many years. I tried numerous able physicians, and there is probably no medicine that is prescribed for such an ailment which was not given to me, but none of them gave me any permanent benefit. But the simple remedy of drinking hot water, accompanied, by a rational regulation of diet, has entirely cured me, advanced f hough I am in life. It was not the diet alone that did it. I had tried that before. It was the use of hot water that cured me, for that made it possible to derive benefit from a judicious diet. I have also found this treatment of great benefit in kidney diseases, which are largely owing to malassimilation of food." The teacher listened very attentively to the old gentleman's remarks. " I.am glad to learn that your experience,"., he said, " agrees so fully with mine.. .1 have become acquainted with various cases in which this simple method of treatment has effected permanent cures after all the efforts of the physicians had failed. lam convinced simply from what I have seen, that almost any disturbances of the human system that result from disorders of the stomach can be alleviated, and, in most instances, cured in the same way. The very simplicity of the [thing may cause some to hesitate about attaching any importance to it, but, like proper ventilation of your dwellings, it may prevent disease and effect cures where all the drugs of the pharmacopoeia will fail."
