What is dripping?

Wnat Is drlpplngE
Everybody knows that dripping is
supposed to be the juices. the savory
essences. that fall from roasting meats
That Is the suppOsition But what
really is dripplng-the dripping that
the poor of England buy by the pound
and smear upon their bread in lieu of
butter?
The question perhaps will never be
answered, but partial solution is
given to II by the fact that London
poorhouse recently bought ut 81 a ton
thirty-two tons OF dripping from-a

the city of Tomsk has two morning

in the streets as "telegramma." At
the time of the Russo Chinese crisis
there came early one morning the star

OYSTERS AND DYSPEPTICS.
When the Bivalves May and When
They Should Not Be Eaten.

They Should Not Be Eaten.
It Is popularity supposed that the
oyster digests himself In the human
stomach owing to the great size Of the
liver, which is crushed as mastication
begins and is thought to digest the
nollusk itself. As the oyster. more
over, contains some 10 per cent Of ex-
tremely assimilable protein. together
with phCsphorlzed fats and glycogen.
It has always been freely administered
to convalescents. while dyspeptlc bons
vivants have never hesltated TO eat II
abundantly.
DR.. Prom expresses the opinion that
the oyster may be allowed, therefore,
to those dyspeptics whose gastric func-
tions are deficient. In anorexla. gastric
atony, ulcer and incipient cancer. and
to convalescents from acute disease, as
1t is likely to improve the appetite and
to excite the stomach to increased
motor and chemical activity
But to the large number OF dySpep-
tics whose stomachs are hyperacid or
representative DR.. Prom would forbid
the oyster as well as all other stimu-
lating foods. In many Of these dys-
peptics the gastric secretion is already
sufficient, and Ii Is unnecessary ana
unwise to increase 1t. - New York
