DANGER OF SLOPPY FOOD
WARNING TO MOTHERS
London, January 4
A serious warning against the sloppy food administered by the fond mother was told in these words by Dr. Livingston, dental surgeon at London University, to a conference of health nurses:—
“1 1 do not think there is anything better in which microbes grow than in milk. Biscuits are pulped and given to Little Willie before he goes- to bed. The sticky, starchy, sloppy food ferments. All night long and two months later Willie • awakens with the toothache. Microbes get in the nerves, blood poison spreads, and Willie develops tuberculosis of the glands. He is rushed to hospital, where lie is pulled round by fiftv or sixty people, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, and charwomen. Little Willie a little later is added to the wreckage that produces Bolshevism. My advice to mothers is: ’Don’t do it.’”
