Dr. Harry Campbell, lecturing at the Institute of Hygiene on tha "Prevention of Dyspepsia," remarked that nowadays one person out of 25 was born without the power of forming gastric juice in the stomach. For sound digestion the first essential was sound teeth and thorough mastication. It children were brought up on soft foods it was useless to expect that they would develop proper jaws or good digestions. Well-baked, crusted bread was admirable for the digestion, Ho would ilka to abolish the daily pudding, and also to abandon porridge, despite its high nutritive value. In this connexion it might be noted that the teeth of the Scots were wotsd than those of English, and yet, owing to faulty mastication, there were in England millions of septic mouths.

There are many identifications for Tarshish. Closer research work of late"years has, however, identify. ed Ophir and Tarshish with Ceylon, and there are very good grounds for accepting this theory. Long before the time of Christ, Ceylon was known as the gem mart of the ancient world, and by devious routes and through many hands, not only its precious stones, but its pearls and spices passed into every corner of the then known world.
Cleopatra, there seems to be no doubt, possessed pearls which came fiom the Gulf of Manmar.
