Bad Temper and Beef Eating.
A trustworthy book On the art of feed
ing is provided by that talented lady.
Mrs. Ernest Hart, former student
of the faculty of medicine of Paris and
OF the London school of medicine for
women, and the authoress of a list of
works whose very titles are of appalling
learning to the ignorant layman. Mrs.
Hart treats Diet in Sickness and
Health and on the high authority of
Sir Henry Thompson, who writes an in.
PRODUCTION and is himself the author of
standard treatise on the subject, she
mas produced more complete epitome
yet come under his notice.
The impression left upon the mind of
reader is that the Englishman is sadly
| ignorant OF the true art of feeding. and
that he eats far too much meat and
| takes far more alcohol than are good
for him. On the subject of intoxicants
Mrs. Hart sets forth the physiological
eitects OF alcohol from the standpoint of
one who is friendly toward it's use in
small quantities. As to the amount Of
punity she says: "There is yenera
consensus Of opinion on the part Of INV.
| sicians that from one to one and a half
ounces of pure alcohol is the maximum
amount which a healthy man should
take in twenty-four hours. Translated
into common parlance, this means from
| ky, from four to six ounces of port o,
| sherry, from ten to fifteen ounces of
| champagne or burgundy, or from one
| to one and half pints of beer or porter
More than this is harmful. Persons
| under 40 years OF age, in whom the
digestive functions are normally per-
formed, and who show no signs Of terv-
Gus disturbance or degeneration, 10 not
generally require alcohol at all, and arc
healthier and better, and are likely to
live longer without it. For persons over
40: in whom digestion has become i'm
paired by anxiety, confinement in close
rooms and Offices, or by sedentary or I'm
healthy occupations, or in whom nervous
energy is exhausted or deficient, small
amount of alcohol in the form of wine Or
beer, taken with the food, is useful
tfc ~
ton of gastric Juice is increas ed. md
digestion thereby promoted"
Ihe majority takes a more liberal view
than the physicians and Mrs. Hart
DOUBTLESS to their detriment Here is
hint to the sedentary: IF an album
dant dietary is dangerous, unless care
fully watched by those who take daily
dangerous, it is disastrous to those who
lead, sedentary lives, or who are brain
workers.. The great majority of orr
adult middle class population in cities
lead sedentary lives, and it may be said
unhesitatingly that they, as rule con
butchers meat in particular. The al.
buminoids of the food, being not fully
oxidized in the body by muscular exer-
else. remain as eEete products. and ulti-
matcly give rise. to dyspepsia, liver com
plants, govt and Brights disease.
OHe ueploraD!e result OF excessive
meat,eating in England is the i'll temper
among us. In no country, I believe. is
home rendered so unhappy and life made
so miserable by the ill temper of those
who. are obliged to live together as in
England. If we compare domestic life
and manners in England with those of
other countries where meat does not
form such an integral article of diet, a
notable improvement will be remarked.
In less meat-eating France urbanity is
the rule of the home: in Japan l never
heard rude: angry words spoken by any
but Enslishmen. / am strongly of the
opinion that the ill temper of the English
is caused in great measure by a too
abundant meat dietary combined with
sedentary life. The half-oxidized prod
ucts of albumen circulating in the blood
produce both mental and moral disturb
