Indigestion is often set up at tho
earliest and, to tho dyspeptic, tho light
est meal of tho dav.'nt which lio prob
ably confines himself to crisp toast but
tered as soon as cold, bread-and-butter
with a very lightly boiled egg, or a liitlo
mi oncon, tne wiiolu moistened with a
littlo tea. In tho word just used,
moistened, proimbly lies the "predis
posing cause." Tho food, when only
half chewed, is moistened with a sip of
tea to 'expedite its departure to the
stomach; but to insure its digestion, bo
it ever so simple, tho food must bo
inorougniy masticated and receive dur
ing tho process tho necessary moisture
irom itie saliva.
Food should bo swallowed without ex
traneous aid in a liquid form, and
ought never to bo washed down. A sip
01 ua may ue taken between tne bites,
but not when there is food in tho mouth,
of which a fairquantitv oucht to bo dis
posed of before tho tea is even thought
of. Tho tea itself, by being slowly
sipped, receives its share of tho saliva
and is rendered more digestiblo. And
this assertion is bornoout by the fact that
many persons who cannot digest milk
wnen gulped or uruuk down quickly,
readily do so when it is slowlv sirned.
The habit of taking one's breakfast in
the manner recommended is so very
easily acquired mat, alter tne nrst trial,
no iuconvonieuco will be felt; in fact,
tho food will bo enjoved and the pleas
ure of the meal greatly increased. In
discretions committed at tho dinner-
table are credited as tho cause of many
ayspeptio attacks, but probably more
may be traced to tho i ernicious habit
indicated and indulged in by so many
persons at breakfast and tea.
