It is the result of either too much food in quantity or too rich in quality. Especially is it caused by the excessive use of fats and sweets. The simplest remedy is the best. A plain, light diet with plenty of acid fruits, avoiding fats and sweets, will ameliorate or remove it. Don't force the appetite. Let hunger demand food.
Fruit contains a large proportion of water as compared with other articles of diet; and, therefore, is especially capable of quenching thirst. Fruit also lessens the desire for sweets, acts as a laxative, and furnishes mineral material which the body needs.
Dem. sends his love; wish you could be with us"; an absurd string of beads from Port Saïd and a box of Syrian sweets; a Hindu puzzle guaranteed to amuse victims of the grippe, and gold-fabric slippers of China; with long letters nonchalantly relating encounters with outlaws and wrecks and new varieties of disease.
I got my name day presents to-day because they are things for the journey: a black travelling satchel with a black leather belt, and half a dozen mourning handkerchiefs with a narrow black border, and an outfit for pokerwork, and a huge bag of sweets for the journey from Hella. The world is a wretched place without Hella.
Hosking her white mob cap and apron clean as ever offered him a macaroon for luck, and weighed out the sweets. Her hand shook more than of old. "You don't remember me, Mrs. Hosking?"

"Take it," she said, giving him the box. "I don't care for sweet things." He ate up the sweets every one of them, and locked the empty box in his trunk; he liked boxes with pictures on them.
Intermediates do not buy from refreshment-rooms. They carry their food in bundles and pots, and buy sweets from the native sweetmeat-sellers, and drink the roadside water. That is why in hot weather Intermediates are taken out of the carriages dead, and in all weathers are most properly looked down upon.
Sparkling gems from the pilfered store of Carmelo Neri-trinkets which I had especially designed for her lace, rich embroideries, bouquets of hot-house blossoms, gilded boxes of costly sweets nothing came amiss to her she accepted all with a certain covetous glee which she was at no pains to hide from me nay, she made it rather evident that she expected such things as her right.
Entering the menagerie tent, he quickly made his way to the place where the elephants were chained, giving each one of the big beasts a lump. He felt no fear of them and permitted them to run their sensitive trunks over him and into his pockets, where they soon found the rest of the sugar. After disposing of the sweets, both beasts emitted a loud trumpeting.
The girls went up-stairs to put the salad on the plates, where the desserts were already dished in the quaint blue bowls in which stewed fruits and the more fluid sweets were always served. In her mind's eye Nancy could see the picture.
