What is the result? The system robbed
of its accustomed nourishment produces
an acid state of the blood owing to there
being no absorbing element for the acids
generated by the digestive apparatus, the

add fuel to the fire, and diarrhea, epsueS,

the disease itself.
Scared people, even when they have

aular as to what they should eat. They
imagine all meats are too indigestible and
vegetables absolutely poisonous, and satisfy
themselves, therefore with what they
term light lict, and slops which havs not
sufficient nourishment in them to fortify
the system against diseases of this nature.
The most nourishiDg diet, such as good
roast meats aud fresh vegetables, and
plenty of it should be taken, and good
beer or light wines should be used at tho

When spirits are used they should in

ushered in by simple diarhea, and tho
prompt arrest of this, generally, if not in

medical treatment should be adopted.
Very simple remedies are quite sufi-

have been saved.
All tainted food, stale vegetables, un.
ripe or even ripe fruits, nuts, pastry and
indigestible food of all sorts should be

to guard against ehills, and wet clothes.
