OBJECTIONS TO CONDIMENTS.

Extract From a Lecture BY DIR. j. II. Kel.
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Mustard, ginger, pepper, pepper
sauce and the whole race of condiments
do nothing but excite and irritate.
They contain no nutriment and do not
build up the tissues of the body. Pep
per is practically indigestible and in
soluble. Drop some grains of pepper
into water and watch for them to
change form and dissolve. The liver
suffers greatly from the use Of condi-
ments, for in order to protect the rest
of the body it catches and stores with
in itself all that it possibly can. They
irritate the whole length of the ali
mentary canal, particularly the lower
end of it, not infrequently causing
hemorrhoids. Condiments cause an I'M
natural craving for food and the stom-
ach takes in more than can be properly
digested, and so not only the stomach
is over worked but the liver is over
worked and congested
These astringent, burning particles
which people select out and hoard up
as choice havors are substances which
nature has put into poisonous plants,
and our taste and smell would effect
ually warn us against them were it not
that our senses have become so entirely
sophisticated and abnormal The saw
age is able to trust to his senses in the
selection of proper food in an unknown
forest He knows that substances
which recommend themselves to the
olfactory nerves by their pleasant odors
and which are bland and pleasant to
the taste, are harmless and he NAV
safely partake of them. Nature has
put into poisonous substances proper
ties which burn and sting as a warning
that they shall be let alone. A couple
Of Indians on the western plains came
one day into the camp of United States
soldiers just as they were finishing a
meal An officer handed one of the In
dams some broken victuals, including
a spiced pickle. As the smarting, sting
ing morsel went down his throat the In
dian seized his scalping knife, and could
hardly be restrained from scalping the
man who had tried, as he thought, to
impose upon him. The officer intended
kindness, but the Indian recognized
1t as an insult. So when a man swal-
lows anything unwholesome his stom-
ach recognizes it as an insult and re-
sents it accordingly, unless it has lost
its normal sensibility through pro-
longed abuse.
Another injurious effect of using con-
diments is the craving for fluid during
the progress of meal or soon after il
is taken. Two or three cups of tea or
coffee are poured down, which, in addi-
ton to the harmful drug substances
contained, work further damage by
weakening the digestive fluids and re-
tarding digestion. When person is ac-
customed to drink a great deal at meal
time the salivary glands do not work
sufficiently to moisten the food. for ma
ture rarely takes pains to do anything
which is done for her.-Reported ny
