Action of Vinegar Upon Digestion.
Discussing the effects of vinegar upon digestion, one writer remarks: "The microscopists have discovered that the eels of vinegar sometimes take up their abode in the alimentary canal as parasites and become a source of irritation and disturbance to the digestive organs. And now, aooording to Virchow's arohives, they have been investigating the influence of acids npon salivary digestion, or the conversion of starch into sugar, and tho fact has appeared that acetic acid, connected with tartaric and oxalic acids, very materially hinders this portion of the digestive process.^ It is worthy of note, as being in the line of scientific progress, that many of the most skillful chefs are substituting in their culinary processes lemon juice for vinegar, thus avoiding at once the wriggling eels and the mischief making acid."
