SLOPPY FOODS.
SERIOUS WARNING. LONDON, Thursday. A serious warning against the sloppy food administered by the fond mother was given in these words by Dr. Livingston, dental surgeon at London University, to a conference of health nurses: — “I do not think that 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 he is pulled round by fifty 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’.”
