Dally Democrat HOT WATEI'. FOR DYSPEPSIA. Hot water, hot tea or coffee, in fact hot food.whethcr liquid or olid.if used pcr tentlr.wii: in time Irrhatc the itomach and to impair its power to digest . Practically it will bring on dyspepsia. Now as to the efficacy of hot water in the treatment of that disease. A a remedy it doubtless appears of "the hair of the dog" sort. It must be remembered that there is a decided difference between a healthy stomach and or.e in disease. In health nothing ought to be habitually put into that organ which is much more than "blood warm." ISut in disease the condition of things is very different. What is known as dyspepsia springs from variable conditions ; too many, in fact, to discuss here. But in nearly all of them the stomach is les ac tive than it ought to be, or it w orks to a Jisadvantnc, and needs a spur or correc tive. Hot water acts in several ways. When taken into the stomach i". not only stimulates h and quickens its aciion, but it tends as do all hot applications to allay irritation. Besides that, it acts mcchan ically,and washes out that organ.hurrying its contents down into the intestine, when without it. the same would be retained longer than .there is any need of. Let a person who, four or five hours after a hear ty meal, still feels uncomfortable.sip a cup . of very hot water, and it w ill bring him great relief, t:mulating the stomach and washing out of it much of its contents which would have been sent on into the intestines had .not that organ bee . fatigued by overwork. Sow, in what p'.cet under - ;he head of dyspepsia there is often a ca tarrhal trouble of the stomach, and the . same sort of affection, also, frequently ex ists in the intestine. The lining is more or Joes irritated, and, in consequence of it, not only is the secretion cf mucus greater than in health, but the same is changed in char acter, is thicker, more adhesive,etc. While ' the stomach is empty, this mucus pours out of its walls, and glues them over, as it were. With such a deposit upon thcm.lct -food be taken into it and soon the 6ame is coated with mucuc, and so rendered less susceptible to the . digestive fluids. Not oniy that, but the mucus in question,while on the walls,keeps back to a certain extent the. gastric juice, and prevents its free en trance into the stomach. For such a con dition of things as this, hot water is the simplest, most grateful and effective rem edy known. But by hot water is not, by any means, meant "scalding hot." Water too hot may injure the lining of the stom ach and cause other iU.effecls. Hot water to be taken internally asa medicine should be at a temperature of from no to 120 de grees, or about as hot ai the coffee one indulges in after dinner, -it should be tak en before meals from one-half to an hour and a half and be slowly sipped. If one is fifteen or twenty .minuts3 in drinking a glassful, ell the bet'er. There are some precautions to be used in taking hot water. A person who is liable tc, hemorrhages should only take it "blood .warm." One with heart trouble who has a weak heart must sip it more slowly than others ueed to do, occupying the longest time ad ised. While this remedy is one of the -simplest and most effective in suitable ec.se;, itimit not be forgotten that its in discriminate use 1h strongly discouraged Before applying it habitually.the safe way is lo consult a physician, as in soine in stances where it would seem advisable to take it, it might he contra-lnilicated. To settle this question regarding the value of hct w atcr.and the-possible dangers of using it, the following testimony of a physician is offered: "We often hear it said that the free and prolonged use of hot water tends to injure the system. Some say that it is weakening, that it weakens the nei.e of the stomach, that it causes ana-mia of the stomach, that it interferes with diges tion, that it tends to projuce 0 flushed lace and cerebral hyperemia, that it debilitates the alimentary tract, and that it causes a host more of direful evil. As a rule, ill these objections are theoretical, and come from those who never used it Intelligently and systematically ,and hence arc ignorant of the facts. In reply to such objections, all I can say is that I have used hot water daily for six years without the slightest perceptible injury.and have seen only uni formly good results in persons for whom I have prescribed Its dally and long con tinned use." The iop report Issued hy the Department of Agriculture gives the general average prospects fir wheat much better this ycal than for the seven preceding years. This, together with a shorlctojr in all foreign countries is certti very cntmir.ighig to the producer of wheal this country. Honest voters have nothing to lose by h.-.l'.ot reform. I; is the prai tical politicians that op ose this rcfoi in. Their business would lie gone if ea- h voter prepared his ballot in secret. No vote buyer ill trust to a man's vote. The gls must 1 e delivered in open daylight or its no good. I to not allow the young trees to bear fruit the tirst and second years, The production of fruit will be at the exjtense of growth. The peach will ofrcn Itear the second year after planting. 11 kept back in that respect it wil be in better condition for fruiting the next The danger that arises from the unequal distribution of wealth and Its accumulation in the hands of the few Is altogether real It increases the power and influence of a plutocratic class, which tends more and more to direct the forces of society, to subsidize the press and even the pulpit,and to control the management of political parties, the results of elections, the action of legislative bodies and the course of pub lic administration. The real peril at pres. ent comes from the fact that a public pol icy has been adopted in the past.and is still maintained, which involves the pecuniary interests of capitalists directly in the course of legislation and the action of the govern ment. The taxing power of the govern ment is used for their benefit, and so long as it is so used they will endeavor to con ' trol its operation. This has done more to build up a plutocracy and does more to maintain it than all other causes combined. and the most effective means of averting the danger of its absolute and permanent control in public affairs Is the adoption of a svstem of taxation that shall give it no advantr.ge. No occupation is more conducive to health and happiness than tilling the soil. No one is less dependent on other producers, and no one is surer of the means of living than the farmer.
