ers, writes that the advocacy of dietetics
in the treatment of disease is the absorb
ing topic of the present time. To him, in
deed, it lis the great therapeutic matter of
the day, and he feels in duty bound to lend
it what aid he can. OF the necessity of
some systematic teaching of dietetics in a
course of medical education no II can en-
tertain a doubt. 1t is surely as desirable
that q medical man be taught how to feed
a patient acutely ill as how to prescribe
for him. fit be a pyrexia, it is asdesira-
bic to maintain the strength and call as
little as possible upon the bodily reserves
as it is to keep down the body tempera-

pepsia requires appropriate aud suitable
food. Many dyspeptics can alone per
form their daily toll by a watchful atten-

Minute rorms of Anima1 Lie.

1t was formerly thought that mites of
cheese were the smallest forms of animal
existence, but it is now considered that a
mite is twenty-seven million times larger
than some of tho animalcule disclosed by
the microscope, some of these discernible
in certain water belong so small that a
thousand million of individuals, each with
a distinct life of its own, occupy no more
room than a grain of sand; but their num-
Der is sometimes so great that they give to
