In this disease, he explains, the lining membrane of the small intes tines becomes Intensely Inflamed and engorged. Eventually it begins slough ing away In spots, having well-defined ulcers. At these places the intestinal walls become dangerously thin. A solid food, If laken Into the stomach, is likely to produce perforation of the intestines and dire results will follow. Therefore, solid foods, or foods con taining a large amount of lnnutricloiis substances, as compared wdth nutrt clotts substances, are dangerous and are to be avoided. The banana, al though It may be classed as a solid food, containing, as it does, 9."> per cent, nutrition, does not possess sufficient waste to Irritate these sore spots.
