half: but excess of sugar, if long continued, is a factor of great danger. The suggestion is now being made that diabetes, due to failure of the body to produce in- sulin for itself, really follows. from excessive activity leading to
exhaustion of those particular cells in the "islands" of Langer- hans in the pancreas whose fun- jction it is to supply insulia in proportion to the demands made them by the upon
diet. This is by no means tr accuse all diabetic persons of excessive consumption of starchy": and sugary food, but it suggests the results of excess relative to the particular capacity of the island cells of the person in question. We are not suprised to find diabetes a disease mostly of the prosperous, and we may specially pity the poor who hap pen to acquire a malady so ex- pensive to relieve.
Quite apart from this very specific and well defined disease. pathologists are bound to in- criminate dietary excess in general, though in somewhat less. precise terms. All the vital statisticians are agreed that, after making due allowance for the great reduction in the consump- tion of alcohol during and after the war in such countries as Germany, Austria, and Denmark. there remains a marked reduc- tion in certain forms of disease associated in their causation with too much food. The starvation effect of partial upon 20 nation may thus be, whilst increasing rickets and tuberculosis in childhood; to reduce diabetes and arterial degeneration and renal disease and

Finally, one word to remind the reader that the increase of concer among luxurious modern peoples indica- tes a probability which becomes more probable with each new statistical inquiry into the subjest and which must now be examined by the methods of the laboratory.

WOMAN'S 107th BIRTHDAY, Mrs. Truelove, of Durham-road. Plumstead, celebrated her 107th birthday recently. She is still for fairly good health, but for the last two years has not been able to leave her room. She has also had to lay aside her spectacles and so give up reading as the strain is 600 much for her 8708.
