Medical Value OF Spices

In tropical countries, between lati-

twenty-three degrees north OF the
equator. the Inhabitants use spices
with their food as we use pepper. A
certain beneficial effect Is caused to
the digestion; namely. stimulant and
carminative, says the Journal OF Trop-
ical Medicine. But there Is a second
airy effect, which is perhaps even more
beneficial, seen in the fact that the
volatile oil passes out from the body.
