MEDICAL VIRTUE IN EGGS.
Eggs are most useful articles. Here ar& some German scientists proclaiming that an egg-shell diet breeds centenarians. In France they harre discovered another virtue in them. According to a paper read by Dr. Amat before the Societe Therapeutique, the membrane covering- sc newly-laid egg forms an excellent fertiliser for human skin. When a patient comes to him with a bad wound he washes it, covers it with tiny layers of egg membrane, and bandages it up. In four or five days the wound is healed and a fresh patch of skin has grown. Another Frenchman, a chemist, doses his chickens with quinine and other drugs in frequent demand, and sells their eggs at prices ranging from five francs a dozen. These are sold to people who object to taking their medicine neat, and are assured by the enterprising chemist that the doctored eggs, will do them all the good they require.
