    Those who rely on the innate vigour of their frame remain too frequently in a state of de¬ ceitful security ; let those happy favourites of nature, who enjoy the blessing o( an uninter¬ rupted flow of health., endeavour to retain the possession of this best gift of heaven; let them remember also that it is perishable; the most vigorous constitution may be exhausted; the best compacted frame may be injured; and is liable to decay. In particular, let them beware of the approach of that species of indigestion which begins to manifest itself about the turn of life; © a want of due attention to which; too frequently leads to the destruction of the best constitution. Let not even the most healthy neglect the advice that is in a more peculiar manner addressed to the invalid, if they wish to preserve their constitu¬ tion unimpaired, at that period of life when the stomach is liable to be critically affected, Hayden, Printer, Brydgcs Street, Covent Garden
