Dangerous Anti-Fat Treatment.


Fat girls who are inclined to drink
vinegar and eat pickles in the hope
of reducing flesh may take warning
from the fate of Annie Gross, 25-
year-old st. Louis woman. She was
stout and had been. dieting to re-
duce her flesh. She ate no meat or
heavy food and neighbors gave the
information that she had made a
practice of eating from a dozen to
two dozen sour pickles day and
drinking from half a pint to a pint
OF vinegar every "a hours. Sudden
death came to her Sunday evening
when she had left party of her
friends to get a drink of water. At
the autopsy physicians found the in
ner walls of the stomach almost COM
pletely eaten away. The cause of
death was given as "hemorrhage of
the stomach and acetic poisoning, :"
due to pickles and vinegar. It is
easy, says the Chicago Sun, to- see
how such results would naturally
come more quickly to a stomach that
was deprived of other classes of food.
A similar condition has often been
found in the stomach of men who
were small eaters and habitual drink.
ers of large quantities of hard cider.
The stomach is not a proper recepta-
Gle into which to pour quantities of
strong acid.

five hours. An advertised double-header
brought out a large crowd to the grounds,
