Some years ago the writer had under his

circles around the eyes and great brown patches
upon the forehead. She had good reason for
complaint Another symptom Of which this
patient complained much was soreness in the
region OF the stomach. Tier diagnosis was
chronic esstritis.
"ConpeIsing with this lady at her bedside one
nay, when she was more severely I'll than usual,
we observed large candy box upon the table.
On lifting the lid we found the box partly filed
with extra strong peppermint loZenges, of which
81 had contained three pounds Half the con-
tents had disappeared, although, as the patient
scknowledge upon questioning, the package
had been an her possession less than week
She had 'oT a long time been in the habit of con-
suming three pound box of these extra strong
peppermint lozenges every two weeks

great difficulty that the habit was broken up"
