"Never eat eggs while you are an

my attention was first called to this
strange fact by the tragic and sudden
death of "a lady acquaintance in Boston
several years ago. | accepted her hus-
bands invitation to dine with them
just as we were going in to dinner a
servant did something that caused the
lady to fly into terrible rage. She had
been irritable from some minor com
plajnt for several days, and her hus-
band Gained her rutfled feelings suff1-
GENTLY for the dinner to be eaten in

unusually large amount of soft scram-
bled eggs. Fifteen minutes after we
left the dining room she was a corpse

fore the nearest doctor reached the

the cause. A few months later | was

four soft boiled eggs. Had l known as

that is, and others are still holding out
that it was apoplexy. Inquiry by me
developed the fact that my friend was
very angry when he sat down at table
and that he ate five eggs. With these
developments | searched no further for
the cause of his death. He was angry,
