Perils oil Overfeeline.. !.

Excessive eating is not the most striking or
the most widely prevalent fault Of the pres
ent generation. On the contrary, modera-
tion and even sometimes undue limitation in
diet is the prevailing fashion. There is still,
however, a considerable number Of persons
who habitually overeat at meals, and to such
Few physiological hints may not be without
their value. DR.. Reudon has been at the
pains to make some careful Investigations on
the subject, and his results have recently
been published
According to this observer, q not uncom-
mon consequence Of overfeeding is the de-
velopment Of series Of symptoms in many
respects similar to those of typhoid fever.
The temperature rises, there is feeling Of
serious illness, the sleep Is disturbed, the
brain is incapacitated, and in severe cases
the disability is complete. The cause of these
symptoms is insufficient elimination and an
alteration in the blood brought about by the
tmpregnation of the organism with accumu-
lated waste products In addition to these
typhoid symptoms thrombosis occur in the
vessels, and what is known as spontaneous
gangrene, or modification Of parts without
any obvious or sufficient cause.
Now, these are conditions of very marked
danger, particularly the thromboses and the
spontaneous gangrene. There is danger to
life here. The obvious remedy for such a
series Of evils is, of course, rest for the over
worked digesting and eliminating organs.
Both the quantity and the quality of the
food must be SO changed as to admit of the
performance of easy digestion, perfect as
similation and adequate elimination of waste.
Lemonades and lemon juice are said to be
of great service in diminishing the extreme
craving for food; and this, from a limited
experience, we can to some extent confirm.
Milk, also, in moderate quantities is useful.
and in certain cases skim milk would prob
ably be best. 1t is not always found that the
resting of the organs is sufficient The fever
may persist for a long time, and with it the
feeling Of very decided illness. Drugs Of diff
ferent kinds are then urgently demanded,
and competent physician should be con-
suited without delay. hospital
