Gum Chewing in London.

The British Medical Journal has
taken up the question of gum chewing,
and says: "The question has been
raised whether there is any reason for
supposing that the practice of gum
chewing, SO prevalent in the United
States, is on the increase in this coun-
try. We have made some inquiries and
have ascertained that many young
women-students, actresses and others
appear to have acquired the disgust
