Now, whieli is the worsc-lo have no appetite/or your dinner,or to hove no dinner for ijour appetite'' There are lots of people on the one side tho other of this question, When "good digestion waits ou appetite and health on both," that is tho ideal attitude of a person towards his meals, But most of us arc not blessed in that way j we either have 100 much food without an appetite, or a vigorous appetite without enough to satisfy it, Differont folk will answer this question differently, yet the common sense of it is that, within reasonable limits, it is better to have an appetite without a dinner, because, short of the starvation line, a hungry man is a healthy man; whereas a man who ought to eat and doesn't feel like eating, stands in need of' alterations and repairs," To illustrate. Wo recently received a communication in which the writer says, "I was afraid to eat," Did he fancy his food was poisoned, or did his nature rebel against tlio nourishment lived on ?. If the latter, why? Let him clear the mystery himself. He says, in tho year 18891 ohangod my work from railway borter to signalman, I had been signalman twelve months, and then all at once, so to speak, I did not feel myself, My mouth tasted bad, so that ordinary articles of diet seemed to loose their flavour; the palate, to put it in that way, appeared to have nothing to say to thorn, On<i tiling was like another, and none was good, My tongue was coated and furred, with a dark line down the middle and yellow fur round it, My breath was offeosivo and my appetite poor, with pains through the chest.and shoulders, which were always right before I had eaten anything, Then I was greatly troubled with wind; It would gather so, it felt like a ball in my throat, and act as though it would ohoko mo," We cannotwonder that under these circumstances our friend failed to do justice to his meals, He adds that there was what ho calls ■' a pricking sensation " at his heart, as though it were touched with some sharp instrument, Then, again, at times he was attacked with spasms, the agony of whioh was so severe that the srat rolled off him, "I dreaded," ho says, "tho thought of eating, and many a smnly meal have I made, .or 1 was afraid to eat, "After a time I got into a low, weak, nervous condition, and felt miserable, as if something was going to happen, and this caused me to lose a good deal of sleep." What he means by the fear of " something going to happen" is, of course, tho fear of some calamity, such as tho loss of his position, his own death, or the death o somebody dear to iiim, This was due as he intimates, to tho impoverished state of his blood (tho life heavor), his unstrung nerves, and to the brain enfeebled by lack of nourishment, The night of this form of illness is always full of ghosts and goblins, the creatures of a restless and ungoverned imagination,

"With great diOloully," he says, ''l stuck to my work, for I had a wife and family depending on mo, So I straggled on, but what I suffered for over two years is past my powers of description, I sure no one lias suffered so much as I liavcd ono," In the latter statement he is undoubted}' wrong. One's own pain is one's own, and is always harder to bear than is ono's no tion o f liis neighbour's pain, There is n countless multitude who were all tho whilo going through the) same' wretched experience, only we don't happen to come in (ouch with them. \Vell,t|he writer finally mentions that a medioal reatment had left him wherehe found him' he chanced to read in a book one case exactly like his own having beon oure by Mother Seigcl's Syrup. "My wife," h says, "got me a bottle at MrLangstaff in Woodlesford, and after using its content the ailment left mo and has never returned since that fortunate day, I should like the whole world to know what it did for mo, I have been employed by the Midland Railway Company for eleven years, (Signed) "George Hum, "Car Bottom Boad, "Apperloy Bridge, near Leeds," We publish this by Mr' Hunt's desiro, in order that part of the world at least may now how thankful he is and for what re a I)H(ENIX ABSUBAMJE Company 1 of London.
