THE WOMAN'S CORNER.
HOW NOT TO EAT.
[BY DR. CECIL WEBB JOHNSON.]
Bad dietetic habits are respon- ] sible for many of the commoner complaints Constipation, indiges tion, dyspepsin, rheumatism, diabetes, and a host of other illá dog the man or woman who eats wrongly or greedily. On the other, hand, if the sufferer cares to change his habits he can often be restored to health.
Dyspepsia is brought on in vari- Dus way. One is imperfect masti- cation. The food reaches the stomach in masses which cannot be effectively tackled by the gastric juice,
Another common cause of dyspe- pain is the choosing of unsuitable foods. Ten should never, be taken with meat, as the tannic acid in it tougheya tha fibres of the animal food and makes it almost impos- sible of digestion. A cup of weak tea, may be allowed a couple of hours after a meal, but never · as an accompaniment.
Headaches and lassitude often accompany dyspepsia, and there is always a certain amount of irrita bility. The "bad tempor" of the chronic dyspeptic is only too well known to the victim's family.
In order to deal with, this condi- tion the diet-cause of all the trouble-must be drastically over- hauled. The most easily digested foods should be given; here is a short but useful list of them
Meat: Tripe, sweetbread, mut ton, chicken, rabbit
Game Birds: Grouss, partridge, pheasant.;
Fish: Sole, turbot, whiting, or any white fish.
Vegetables: Cauliflower, spinach, French beans, sea-kale, asparagus, The fibrous vegetables, such as cabbage and turnips, are best avoid ed, aa aro such mesta as pork and ham, but grilled bacon is not "in- cluded in this ban. New bread must be avoided; dry toast or rusks are better...
Haney, tréncle, and marmalade have a distinct laxativo action,
Gout is produced by an excess of uric acid in the blood, and this excess is produced by nitrogenous waste in the body and its incom- plete elimination. It follows, ther fore, that gout can be best treated by the revision of the dietary.
People who have been hearty eaters of much flesh food, accom panied by the free use of alcoholio beverages, are marked out for gouty attacks.
The first thing, then, is to cut down the intake of meat, gume, fish, and all kinds of animal foods, while forbidding such rich foods "We now come to the impotant as pork, goose, duck, salmon, mul. question of beverages...
