ALWAYS FEASTING
The just published report of Sir William Jlacgregor, Administrator! of New Guinea, is exceedingly interesting reading. The customs of the Wabduan headhunted and the attempts made at their conversion from Cannibalism are graphically described, and among other tilings the fondness of the Papuan for feasting :s dealt with at length. Douglass Jerrold says that the Englishman celebrates everything—even a funeral—with a banquet, and the Papuan does likewise, only more so, He has a feast to celebrate tho newmoon and the departure thereof, a feast when food is plentiful, and a banquet to celebrate the fact when there is a famine in the land, But the feast is more a ceremonial than an occasion for feeding, whereas in civilisation most of the ills we know of result from injudicious, indiscriminate, or over feeding. From these result dyspepsia, mal-assiini-lation, kidney disease, and the many complaints whicli have their source in defective digestion. Warner's Safe Cure and Pills absolutely remove tee troubles and we will Bbowyou why. Dyspepsia aiulmal-assimilationare terms which are used to indicate a most important condition of the stomach and | digestive organs. It is well known that a healthy stomach will digest food in from three to five lioure; but if there is imperfect digestion, there are always manifested the symptoms of dyspepsia, which appears in many different forms, The symptoms of Dyspepsia are a feeling of weight in the stomach, bloating after eating, belching of wind, nausea, vomiting of food, water-brash, pain in tho stomach, heart-burn, bad taste in the mouth in the morning, palpitation of the heart, a cankered mouth, loss of flesh, a coated tongue, a lickle appetite, a depressed, irritable condition of the mind, dizziness, vertigo, headache, incapacity for work, a lack of buoyancy and energy, an irregular condition of tho bowols, Warner's: Sake remedies are the best possible curatives for such conditions. First of all, Warner's Safe Pills are needed to remove from the blood the impurities which are always present whon there is imperfect digestion,! and to keep the bowols open, thus clearing oil the waste products or effete matters. Then again, a remedy should be used which is especially designed to reinforce the nerve centres, to invigorate the depleted cnorgies, and to secure a return to a normal condition of the digestive functions. Such a remedy is Tippecanoe, the best.
