FOR OUR LADY READERS.

THE VALUE OF

· CELLULOSE.

[By a Hospital Matron.] Cellulose is the woody, pithy fibre which constitutes the bulky framework of fruits and vegetables. It Is absolutely essential to health, and we should be careful to include a sufficiency of the cellulose containing foods in our daily dietary.

Cellulose is certainly indiges- tible in the sense that it cannot be converted into actual noúrlah- ment, and so be assimilated by the tissues, but it has a supreme func- tion of its own. It has a very special function in the gastro- Intestinal tract, wherein it is nover intended to be absorbed but is meant to act as roughage. By virtue of its bulk, it stimulates the muscular walls of the alimentary canal to vigorous contraction, and it also subjects

them to A thorough, mechanical scouring.

Chronic Poisoning.

A diet rich in cellulose ensures that there is no risk of idle, fermenting .food. lurking in pockets of the canal, and thus flooding the circulation with daily doses of depressing toxins. When there is an insufficiency of this casential "ballast" in the dict, the intestinal contractions are slowed down or arrested for days at a time, and the individual concern- ed becomes a victim to chronic poisoning by absorption.

Doctors are agreed that chronic poisoning by absorption from the intestine is the root of nearly all diseases. Even mechanical troubles and many deformities such as fat foot can be traced to the same origin, because of the general muscular weakness which follows, The first symptoms of poisoning, which are too often neglected, are head-ache, lethargy, depression, and digestive distur- bances. Appendicitis, however acute an attack may be, is merely an indication of a thoroughly un- healthy interior.

Many people complain that a liberal inclusion in the dietary of fruits and vegetables causes in- digestion and even gripping pains. The powerfully stimulating action of the cellulose merely indicates that there was an immense neces- sity for this invaluable fibre. Certainly, vegetables should always be obtained in as young and as fresh a condition as pos- sible since no one can digest the really old ones, in which the cellulose is almost 33 hard as wood.

It is a well-known fact that persons who never dare to retire

to bed without swallowing a per-
