The waiter fell; he fell through the large violet hat and disappeared beneath the surface of a sea of crockery.
We don't want to exaggerate. There are privileged stomachs which can stand all that. But there are many to which half-masticated food is a real poison.

Breakfast with him was not the usual American breakfast, a sullen, dyspeptic gathering of persons who only the night before had rejoiced in each other's society. With him it was the time when the mind is, or ought to be, at its best, the body at its freshest and hungriest.
The equipage did no credit to the financial status of the iron company, as it consisted of a superannuated express-wagon drawn by a dyspeptic white horse which the boy who officiated as driver found no difficulty in restraining. Two gentlemen in charge of the constructions, their visitor and two kegs of nails comprised this precious load.
They crawled rather than pranced, and their bodies bore themselves with a depression that seemed indiscreet.

The dyspeptic compelled to fast while watching the progress of a banquet, must suffer similar torture. "What's the use of sitting here and talking?" demanded Chilvers. "It has cooled off; let's have a foursome.
This is said to be a wholesome diet for dyspeptic patients, and makes a good meal for children. Corn Muffins. Warm three pints of milk, and stir into it as much corn meal as will make it as thick as pudding batter, add two handsful of wheat flour, two tea-spoonsful of salt, three eggs, and a tea-cup of yeast.
Ez to Brooks takin' that trouble well, I suppose it's along o' his bein' HEALTHY!" He heaved a deep dyspeptic sigh, which was faintly echoed by the others. "Why, look at him now, ridin' round on that black hoss o' his, in the wet since daylight and not carin' for blind chills or rhumatiz!"
