Ice Cream Poisoning.

On this subject an exchange says: In
order to avoid poisoning from ice cream
the greatest care should be exercised in
Its preparation the selection of the ingre.
dients entering into its composition should
be most guardedly made. None but the
freshest milk and cream should be used.
No old Ice cream should have new milk
and cream added to il aud be chuTn-
ed over into more ice cream, The can,
dasber aud all parts of the freezer should
be bright and clear-freshly scalded and
cooled before using. Ice cream should be
eaten the day it is made or not at all-it
is often poisonous the second day. A
German doctor gives an instance where
fresh milk was csrted by wagon eight
miles upon a not day and at the end OF
the journey the milk was found to con-
tain the "cheese poison" (the Germans
call it) which is sometimes found in ice
cream. We may be cautioned by such
facts against using milk in making ice
cream which has been exposed to heat
and motion.

Ice-Cream as Medicine.

The value Of ice-cream as a remedy
for certain intestinal troubles is being adj
vanced. Some, indeed most physicians
permit it through typhoid fever, always
insisting it shall be Of the parest make.
To the story recently going the rounds in
print Of the entire care of a case of ulcer
of the stomach by the sole and persistent
use of ice-cream may be added that Of a
woman. She suffered from a serious
affection of the eyes directly traceable to
digestive disturbance, and her physician
finally put her upon ice cream, as a sole
diet. For eleven months she lAerally
lived upon ice.cream, with the result to
effect complete and apparently per-
manent cure. The theory is that the
cream furnishes ample nourishment, while
the diseased intestines, chilled from the
low temperature of the food, are prevent.
ed from getting up inflammation during
the process of digestion carried on by the
healthy parts.-Si. Louis Globe Democrat.
