Dangers for Timid Diners.

From the St James's Gazette.
If one We're to study the subject and rigid
ly avoid eating all things that are reputed
to be bad for ones health in one way or an
other it would probably be difficult to keep
starvation at bay. The list of things which
cannot be eaten with safety by those who
have a tendency to appendicitis Is very
long one. Sir Frederick Treves declares
that one of the deadliest sweetmeats is pre-
served ginger: but pineapple, fresh or pre-
served. is almost equally risky, while
oranges figs, raspberries-in fact. all fruit
with pips-are also very dangerous eating.
To still further limit our dietary. there arc
a number of other things which may not be
eaten by those who fear typhoid fever. The
oyster scare has led to suspicion of all
other shellfish, not only Holsters and crabs.
but even the hitherto considered harmless
though necessary shrmps and prawns.
