 The announcement recently made by Dr. John F. Russell of the Postgradu- ate Hospital Dispensary that excellent results had been obtained from the use i of raw vegetable juice in the treat ment of persons suffering from con- sumption did not surprise the vegetar- ians. The secretary of the Vegetarian ! Society says that while Dr. Russell is probably on the right track, he would undoubtedly secure far better results from the use of raw fruit, which would be at the same time far more palata- ! ble for the patient. He holds that a i diet of fruits and nuts exclusively, which he says is the ideal diet and un- mistakably the one that nature intend- ed for man, will cure not only con- sumption, but as well cancer, all scrof- ulous diseases, rheumatism, gout and in short, most of the ills to which human l flesh is heir.
 1 Most vegetarians nowadays 1t seems are not strictly or specifically in 8 mar row sense vegetarian in their diet, but the term has been used for a hundred years or so to designate the non-meat eaters, and the name sticks. There is no probability that 1t will be changed in the near future or that better one will be found.
 These herbivorous humans. while all agreeing on the one cardinal point of eating no flesh. are divided into many sects. There are some who call them selves humanitarian vegetarians, ana there are hygienic vegetarians; these are among the primary classifications.
 There are vegetarians who permit themselves the use of milk, butter, cheese and eggs; others who will not l touch these thins. There are some who call themselves vegetarians and will on occasions eat fish and shellish-but these are not worthy of the name ac- cording to the stricter members of the cult.
 Some vegetarians hold that practical ly everything belonging to the vegeta- ble kingdom that is not poisonous is good to eat. Some hold that only those things that grow above ground are fit for food; they would eat no potatoes or other tubers, roots, etc.
 One enthusiast at least has been ! known to live-and say that he enjoy ed it-exclusively on diet of grass. Some hold that mushrooms, truffles and all similar fungous and parasitic growths are decidedly not fit for food. Still, others profess to believe that cereals are very poor food and should not be eaten.
 An increasingly large number hold that mankind should eat nothing but fruits and nuts. These forswear even the commonest food vegetables, such as beans, peas, cabbage, cauliaower onions. carrots, squash, celery, lettuce and of course, potatoes. ...
 Charles A. Montgomery secretary of the New York Vegetarian Society, Is 6 Humanitarian vegetarian. Beyond that he has not yet decided to which sub division of the cult he belongs. While he lives chiefly on fruits and nuts, he has not yet reached the point of giving up cereals or potatoes and other corn- mon vegetables >%
 On Vegetarianism in general, taking the vegetable juice treatment for tu- berculosis as text, MT. Montgomery discoursed to a Sun reporter as fol- lows:
 II have been a vegetarian for twen ty-fiYe years. I have not touched meal of any, kind in that time, and I have never known a sick day in all those days.
 T am a vegetarian chiefly from hl. manitarian reasons. The majority ot vegetarians come in for hygienic req, sons; perhaps 90 per cent.
 "I maintain that pure vegetarianisn is the humanitarian foundation stone of all reforms. Most vegetarians art peaceful, progressive, enlightened men They are opposed to both human ant animal murder,
 They are antivivisectionists; they are opposed to war, opposed to intem perance. They are hygienic and eco 2 nomical reformers, too.
 Tt means going back to agricultur, , economic improvement-for 'agricul will give more men employment ant , better employment than stock raising , and slaughteringA That is the point |, vegetarianism is the basic reform.
