EGG POISONING.
teme Persons Always Affeetsd-othsrs
Only Occasionally.

SHty SSSastoHAhy'
Instances of egg poisoning ap-
pear from time to time in period
ical literature, and the subject is re-
fcrrcd to in some but by no means
all works on dietetics.
While cases of acute poisoning
are rare, writes physician in the
Medical Record, some susceptibility
as regards eggs is not so very un-
common. People constantly assert
that eggs make them bilious, and,
while in some this is often imag-
mary, in others the condition ac-
tually exists.
This is notably true of infants
and young children. Not only do
many infants and young children
digest eggs with difficulty, especial
ly when first eaten, but many more
are made i'll if this particular food
is partaken of too freely or, in the
case of older children, if the egg
diet is kept up too continuously.
This inability of young children
to digest eggs is probably in line
with the well recognized fact that
the infants stomach, or digestive
juices, must be taught to digest
most dietary articles other than the
maternal milk. Cows milk, for in
stance, is veritable poison to some
infants, while many a newly born
requires some practice and educa-
tion before it can thoroughly digest
even mothers milk.
Individual susceptibility as re-
CARDS eggs is extremely variable. In
some persons eggs always act as
poisons, while in others the toxic
influence may be marked at one
time and at another much dimin-
ished or entirely wanting, especially
when the subject is in sound condi-
tion.
The susceptibility may be observ-
ed in eggs of every degree of fresh
ness and in some cases only with
eggs of certain birds. Changes in
eggs may also be brought about by
methods of cooking, for, while some
persons manifest their SUSCEPTIBLE.
ty only when the egg is raw, Others
are poisoned when it is cooked OF
prepared in some unusual and un-
accustomed manner.
In most of the reported cases the
white of the egg appears to have
been the offending element. The
symptoms of egg poisoning differ
greatly in degree. In some case:
only nausea and headache occur
In others the most violent symp
toms, suggestive of irritant poison
ing, are observed.
Sometimes when the use Of egg
is long continued they give rise t.
the symptom group which we cal
biliousness, which, after all, is but
form Of auto-intoxication, due pos
sibly to the presence Of some aka
loid in the blood. The symptomI
of egg poisoning are essential,
those Of so called ptomaine poison
ing.
It is true that the eggs givinl
rise to toxic phenomena are in mos
instances apparently fresh whel

TWO VIEWS ON DIVORCE.

Hon. Henry S. Brown former JUS
tice of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. has liberal views on di-
yorce. Talking on The Law and It's
Procedure in Divorce" Mr.. Brown
took up a recent utterance OF Cardin-
al Gibbons, remarking:
"The head of the Roman Catholic
church in America, a man for whom |
have profound respect, has painted d.
vorce as "a monster. licensed by the
laws of Christian states, to break
hearts. to wreck homes and ruin
souls This is certainly a gruesome
picture.

ideallst 100 years ago and taught by
a following OF pious and conscientious
enthusiasts can maintain its author
ity forever. however exalted Its orig
in, If it run counter to the traditions,
customs and general moral standing
of the people.
1T Is not proved why the partner
ship created by marriage should be so
far different from commercial part
nership that one may be dissolved at
pleasure while the other is absolutely
indlssolublc.
"a proper regard for the interests
of the state, as well as the preserva-
ton Of domestic happiness, would
seem TO require that when the whole
obligation of the matrimonial pact
had been defeated by the habitual,
persistent and uncomfortable conduct
of either party, and that relation which
should represent the acme of human
happiness is made to stand for all that
is most repugnant TO our desires and
anticipations, a severance of the ties
should be permitted. The story Of
domestic unhapplness is only too fa-
miliar."
Those churches which hold mar
rlage to be a sacrament Will continue
to antagoniZe the position taken by
Judge Brown, but the Protestant
population and those who are not COM
municants of any church Will declare
with the noted lurst that the obli-
cation of matrimony must be annull-
ed at times in the interest of society.
