DANGER IN THE OYSTER.
Succuent Bivalve Prolific Producer
of Disease

Succuent Bivalve Prolific Producer
of Disease.
There is probably no one article of
food. except raw milk, which IS so
frequently a cause of disease, and some
times even fatal Illness as ic the oys
ter. The nutritive value of the oyster
is very small. 1t takes fourteen oys
ters to equal one egg in food yalue
and more than 25o oysters TO equal q
single pound Of beef in food value.
This is due to the fact that the oyster
consists chiefly of water, the balance
being mostly liver and germs. The
oyster lives upon the ooze and slime
OF the ocean bottom Typhoid-feyer
germs, and other disease-producing or
ganisms are tidbits for the oyster.
and millions of them are always found
in the oysters stomach and the mu-
cous, or Shiny juice, in which the oys-
ter is always bathed.
Another paper recently reports the
death Of the Dean OF Winchester from
typhoid fever as the. result of eating
oysters at the mayors banquet in
England. The result Of this death
according to a wholesale oyster dealer
in England has been the falling off in
the consumption of oysters TO the eX-
tent of IS per cent: that is, that there
is only one oyster eaten now where
four were eaten before these facts
became public. oyster merchants and
persons engaged in the oyster bust
ness generally, in England, are com
! planning that their business Is ruined
| Within three or four days after the
death OF the Dean Of Winchester, tht
| oyster trade fell off at Ellsworth from
| five thousand to nothing.
| Several similar epIdemics have oc
| Cured in England, and few in thii
country, in which fatal cases OF ty
! phoid fever were traced directly to the
use of the oyster.
The oyster is a scavenger, and alb
solutely unfit for human food, Thu
idea that 1t Is more digestible thai
other foods is in the highest degre,

Grady's friends were determined that
the amputated leg should have decent

Duffy was selected as spokesman. He
