With the potentialities of "little drops of water" and "little grains of sand" most of us have l>een fa- miliar from childhood upwards, and experience teaches that life itself is made uj) of trilles. It is not, how- ever, sufficiently realized that pre- mature death is often the cumula- tive re.sult of trifles that tell on health, little habits that appear of slight conseijuence at the moment, but which, oft rej)eated, influence for evil the most robust constitutions, and may wear out the hardiest of tissues, even as drops of water wear away a stone. It is not the one grand, heroic outbreak against the laws of hygiene that undermines health so much as the little sins of omission and commission against sane and sanitary living that are of dail.», nay, hourly occurrence among those who die simply because they do not know how to live, writes Br. Robertson Wallace. Among the commonest little hab- its that hinder health or engender positive ill health are those asso- ciated with such common every day occurrences as eating and drinking, sleeping, smoking, bathing, dressing, walking, and so forth. The field for the acquirement of ill-health is a wide one, and persons may (and do) eat, drink, sleep sraoke, bathe, dress, or walk themselves into ill health with a devotion worthy of a better cau.se. 1 shall consider tho little bad habits associated with each of these forms of human activity in detail, and show how they influe^ice health, .50 that in future the reader will know exactly what he may do and what he may not do if his desire be to live to a green old age. TIIIFLIO TWO : DIUNICINO. Let us begin (as we too often do) with drinking. I only voice the views of my medical brethren when 1 say, as emphatically as I can, tVmt people drink a great deal more alco- holic liquor than is good for them. A "small .Scotch" seems a small matter, and so it may be; but in a muUitude of "small Scotches" there is physiological disaster and final ruin. If men knew what they were really "going to have" later on, in the shape of gout, liver disease, Brights disea.se, heart disease, cere- bral troubles, and other deviations from health too numerous to men- tion, they would weigh their an- swers more carefully. It is the habit of tippling between meals on an empty stomach that is so injurious. Alcohol, it .shovdd nev- er bo forgotten, is a powerful drug with a special affmity for nerve cells, whose vitality it always depresses and whose activities it [laralyzes. While on the subject of drinking 1 ought, perha|)s, to mention that there is no record of any one having died from excessive indulgence in pure water. Want of this most ne- cess-ary of foods â€" yes, water, strange as it may appejir to the iinphiloso- lihical, is as much a focd as beef- steaks or i)orridge â€" is' B. common cause of ill-health. It constitu'-es about V,") per cent of the bulk of the bodily tissues, acts as a solvent of the food assists in tho elaboration of the digestive and other juices, and is necessary to tho cfUcient "sewer- age" of the body. So necessary is water to the performance of the vital functions that its total de- I)rivation causes deftth. And yet men and women, when thirsty, wiU- in;.;ly drink anything ollwr than wa- ter, trying to put nature olT with port, sherry, champagne, whiskey, cognac, or liquors. This may seem a email matter, but it is assuredly another of those trifles that in the long run injure health. The d<3\'iations frofn iu)rinal henlth^ and positive injury to it that arise from everyday errors in eating are hardly less than those attributable to bad habits in drinking. Teo|)le eat wrongly â€" wrong food, wrcmgly cooked, at wrong hours. This is a comprehensive indictment, but it is the truth. When I say people eat wrongly, I mean that some people dine as if eating were a pastime ; others ns if it were a penance. It is neither the one nor tho other. Eat- ing is really a solemn function. to be perfoinu-d, however, without un- due Kolemaiity. hatting, in a word, is a duly to be done, but never overdone. The due nourishment of the bo<ly is a [)rocess to bo under- taken deliberately, without hurry. Food must bo chewed slowly. If food lie bolted, then gi)0<l iH-nlth is likely to be harretl. "l.,ightning' lunches" are likely to he followed by "thundering" pains. Homembcr that what is worth chewing is worth chewing well, ami what is swallowed in haste frequently fails to be di- gested at leisure. TUIELE THREE : EATING. Many ptrople regard the nature of the food they are eating as quite a trilling mutter and pay more atten- tion to the (luantity than to the quality of their food. Thus the brain worker makes a hearty lun- cheon of, say, steak and kidney pie, with half a pint o( Stout, n»d some sweet to fcdlow, then wonders wfiy he feels so sleepy, and why brilliant Hashes of wit and fllglits of im- aginnti(m no longer emanate co- piously from his brain. He forgets that when the auiiual organs are busiest the mental organ is most sluggish : ho fears that his brilliant mental powers are on the wane ; he becomes fearful, irritable, and sleef)- less, and his distress reacts on his organs of digestion, which in turn affect his cerebral organs. And so the vicious cycle goes on, until per- huos his Ivealth, cither of body or mind, breaks down. This catas- trophe nii^ht have been averted by a trifling alteration in the victim's luncheon menu, for he would have satisfied the demands of his stomach and tho nfjuirements of his brain by lunching on a cuj) of chocolate with cream, roll, and butter, and a little of one of the much advertised cereal foods which are to be had everywhere. Many persons make the mistake of eating a trifle too much every day, and this would not nmtter much were it not that the organs of di- gestion, assimilation, and excretion are thereby a trifle overworked, and so, in the long run, worn out before their time. It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, the last bit of roast pork that e.xhausts the stomach, the last driblet of sauce that goads the liver to rebellion, and the last droji of liquor brandy that fills the cup uf an uncomplain- ing kidney. It is difficult for mnny to achieve the happy mean in eating, and for the man of 40 in jmrticular to re- member that he must eat only sufli- cient food to repair tlie waste of the body. An excess of food beyond the bodily needs, even though it bo trifling' in amount, must be stored away wherever apace will permit, in the joints, for example, or within the lax abdominal cavity, or in what may be described as an an- nexi, â€" an addition to the body blunt- ly described by surgeons as a tumor, benign or malignant, as the ca."ie may be. Thus cancer is believed by some authorities to be predisposed to by overstimulation and over- nourishment of the tissues by an ex- cess of food. On the other hand, many persons suffer ill-health by trifling with the hour sacred to food, making each meal a movable feast, and making meals entirely secondary to business ai)i)ointments ; whereas the latter ought to be regulated by the for- mer, since in order to keep any ap- pointments at all one must bo alive, and to live one must eat. To derive tho fullest advantage from each meal it ought to be par- taken of at a set hour each day, when the stomach and other organs that participate in tho function of digestion will be prepared to receive and deal with it in tho most efficient manner. What are often regarded as trifling irregularities in meal hours have in the long run a disastrous elTeet on the digiestive orgnns. and so undermin(^ the general health. TRIFLIO I'OUR : S.MOKINC. Now, with regard to smoking. A cigarette is a small matter, indeed, and the effect of smoking one is so trifling as to be almost beneath no- tice. And so one cigarette after another is smoked, until by the end of the day quite a considerable amount of tobacco and paper has been consumed by tho indilTerent and imthinking smoker. The smokers of pipes and cigars are generally aware of tho quantity of tobacco they snuike in a week, but the consumer of cigarettes has hazy notions as to the number of packets ho has smoked in a period of seven days. And thus an excess of that deleterious "weed" tobacco, is indulged in all unconsciously, and the victim, who is generally a weedy youth, develops all tho symptoms of what used lo be called nicotine I«)isoning, although, ns he will tell the doctor. Vie only has "a cigarette now and again." Fortunately nicotine, whiclt re- .sembles pi'ussic acid in its olTects on the human body, is present in so minute a ipiantity in tobacco as to 1)0 negligible by tlie smoker. The lower the gratlo of the tobacco tlie greater the percentage of nicotine it contains. A cigar weighing sixty grains contains about one grain of nicotine, of which less than half a grain is inh.'vled with the smoke, and of this only a minute portion re- mains in the body. Perhaps about one-sixtieth of a grain enters the system of tho smoker. It cannot, therefore, be the nicotine that does the mischief in those who smoke to excess. The volatile, oily substances, and those produced during the fermenta- tion of the leaf by the agency of mi. cro-organism.s, mixed with the in- haled air during the combustion of the cigar, are no doubt factors in prcMlucing the poisoning. I-'unctional distui'lianceK of the heart, .â- iiuokcrs" sore throat, inflam- mation of tlio cornea, sleeplessness, and disturbances of digestion are among the results of what is often described as "an occa.sionol whiff of a cigarette." When you uncon- sciously "whiff" cigarettes by the packet it is time to reflect if it is worth while to sacrilice health on the smoking altars of my Lady Nico- tine. While on tho subject of smoking I may mention without, I hope, being considered an alarmist. that so trifling a matter as slight soreness of the lip or tongue arising from rontaet with the stem of a day pipe or produced l>y smoking a hot to- baccoâ€"that is, ono rich in woody fibreâ€" should ropoivo immediate at- tfmtion. ns such irritation is often the predisposing cause of cancer of thi' tongue or lip.

Other Cases in Which the Great Kidney Remedy , Conquered. Reliable Hen Tell of Vic- tories over the Uread Disease. From Mail and Empire. So great has been the interest in Toronto over the cure of Bright's Disease reported from Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, that a reporter yester- day visited the head office of the Dodds Medicine Co., 62 Yonge street, Toronto, to ascertain the views of the management concerning the case. He found the management satisfied, but by no means surprised. "No," wasjthe answer to the re- porter's question. "We are not sur- prised that tlie public generally are at length being forced to the con- clusion that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Bright's Disease. We have known it for a long time ourselves. The Parker cure is only one of the many of which we can furnish proofs. A SPECIALIST'S PRESCRIPTION "The troubles in these cures have been made by what is termed a patent medicine.' Had they been' made by a physician in tlie regrular way, and that physician had been able to tell exactly how he brought them about, they would have been talked of learnedly from one end of tho country to the other. But when people talk about our cures there is a tendency to say, 'Oh, that is only a patent medicine ad- vertisement.' "They forget that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the life work of a doctor. That they have been uniformly suc- cessful in treating all diseases of the Kidneys, and that the only fea- ture in which they differ from re- gularly obtained medical advice is that the prescription of a specialist is given the public at popular price's. NO ROOM FOR DOUBT. "Now, you have seen the particu- lars in the Parker case. Nobody can doubt for an instant that that was a veritable case of the 'incurable' Bright's Biseaso, neither can anyone doubt that the euro was elTected by Dodd's Kidney Pills and by no other agency. Of course, it took lime and perseverance ; but tho patient was in the last stages of the disease be- fore she started to use Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. Had she started sooner the work would have been easier, and the results would have been obtained much more speedily. It was an extreme case and took tim.e." "You know of other cases of Bright's Disease that have been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills ?" queried the reporter. The manager walked over to a safe and produced a bundle of let- ters. Holding them up, he said : â€" "Everyone of those letters tells of a case of Bright's Discosc cured by Dodd's Kidney I'ills. and every case has been thoroughly investigat- ed and verified. Let me read you a few of them. ROBT BOND CURED. "This one, you see, is signed, 'Robert Bond, Ml. Brydges, Ont." You see what he says. "My attend- ing physician said 1 was in the last stages of Brights Disease. I com- menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills in iluly, 1894, and used in all about twenty boxes, and have u.sed no other remedy or medicine of any kind since, and I feel well, sleep Well, and I have a good oppetite, etc.' "That Was away back in 1894. Here's another letter from the same Robert Bond, dated May i-'nd, 1,P02. You see what he says in it. 'The cure is permanent as far as I know, My general health is good." C. A. HARRIS CURED. "Here is another case. If you'fl: take the trouble to look at thi? letter you'll see it is written by tlio Postmaster at Lovett, Ont., Mr. C. A. Harris. Notice what he sa>'8 ; 'In 1897 I was at the point ol death from Bright's Di.sease, ar.i was a complete wreck, could uol- even dress myself or turn in my bed but now I am, I may say, a wel! man, and I attribute it all tc Dodd's Kidney Pills.' That's from i postmaster, a man who undoubtedli knows what he is talking about, am' there's no uncertain sound aboui what he says. OHAS. INGRAM CURED. "Here's one from a Toronto man Charles Ingram, 58 Humbert street He's a stonemason, and well knowr among the working men in the build ing trade. See what he says : â€" 'Fo ten years I have been troubled witi the first stages of Bright's Disease I tried several other medicines, bu could not get cured. A friend o mine told mo to try Dodd's Kidnej Pills. I have used four boxes, am am now cured of the first stages o I pains.' I G. H. KENT CURED. I "I can go on showing you simila' I letters moat of the afternoon. Bu 111 just give you one more â€" that a O H. Kent, of 408 Gilmour street Ottawa. His was a remarkable case indeed, so remarkable that w afterwards got him to make hf statement und* oath before a not ary public. "Mr. Kent is a printer in the cm ploy of the American Bank Not^ Company. He sufTered for foui months from Bright's Disease, am had actually reached the stage whet the doctor declared he could not live till the next morning. Whill the sorrowing wife waited by hii bedside watching for the end, ha eye chanced to fall on an adverti.so ment which said that Dodd's Kid ney Pills would cure Bright's Di.s case. "As a drowning man grasps at i straw, so this despairing â- womai grasped at tliis last chance to savi her husband's life. A messenger woi procured, a druggist roused out oi his bed, a box of Dodd's Kidnej Pills bought, and the dying mai given his first dose. "That dos« brought an improvement, graduiU) the pain ceased and health returned. It took seventeen boxes to cure him completely. But that's sovea years ago, and he's been working every day since. Surely a cure !ik« that is enough to make the whoI« world believe that Dodd's KIdnej Pills will cure Bright's Disease. WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES. "The whole trouble is in making people believe. This is a skeptical age. It used to be 'If you see it io the papers it's true." Nowadays il is 'If you see it in the iiapcrs don'l believe it.' If we could brin^ thi people here ono at a time asd lei them read these letters, or brinj them face to face with the men ant, women who wrote them, our strug- gle would bo over, for tho whol« world would admit that Dodd's Kid- ney Pills will cure Bright's Disease. LOTS MORE CURES. "As you can see, these are onlji a few cures of Bright's Disease pick- ed at random from the many. Ther« are dozens of others equally as re- markable and lUl carefully inve^tigat ed and attested to by reliable peo- ple. Surely you would think thai as doctors can give no hope of thos» threatened with this terrible dis ease, there should bo no hesitancy ii giving Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial. And if Dodd's Kidney Pills can cun Bright's Disease, the most deadlj form of Kidufy Disease, how sure il it that they can cure those earliei stages of Kidney Disca.se, such as Diabetes, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica. Pain in tho Back, etc. Remember, as I said before. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a specialist pro- scription for diseases of the kidneys, and in the twelve years they have been before tho public they havt jirovcd their worth by curing thou- sands of sufTorers from all forms ol kidney disease. They arc no cure- all ; but they do cure all forms ol kidney disease. Time end the pub- lie have proved that." will hurt no one over the age of 21. TIUFLE FIVE : FRESH AIR. The little inch, or, perhaps, two inches, of open window in the bed- room at night is a small matter, but it means that instead of breath- ing poison for one-third of your life you are breathing fresh air. Thus, great results from tiny causes spring, and too many persons, by neglect- ing' to provide this inch or two of fresh air inlet in their sleeping rooms succumb to one or other of these respiratory diseases, of which the greatest is consumption of the lungs. More lives are sacrificed annually to foul air than to foul water oi putrid food. And yet fresh air is tc be had literally for tho asking. People who ought to know better go on day after tlay. and night aflei night breathing air that has alread.v been breathed either by themselves or by others. Why. the bare thought of it is enough for most of us ! A few inches of open window at iiighl makes all the dilTerence between a promature, miserable death and o green old age.
