Maybe You Hm Scurvy.
Sinre matt is tlie only animal et.
UK rnoked food, he i the only anj
nul Ihil i much troubled hy curvy.
If. hy icury, wc mean the ditease
as it uas found anions sailors liity
rtf ago, it would be wrong to My
that nun ii much troubled by scurvy.
I hat variety o the trouble hat be
come a curiosity about at rare as
hen's teeth.
In apite of thi improvement, our
interest in tcurvy continue..
In the firt place. ome of the fall
ure of habiei to thrive, ome of tlu
minor duorder of people, children
ami grownupj. some of the aclte,
tender joint, to-called rheumatism,
lileeding gums are casei of minor
scurvy.
In the second place, a flood of
curvy t one of the dire predic
tions made hy the opponents of pas
teurized milk. We don't want the
public to forget that these people
tried to deceive them.
In the third place, we are alwayi
interested in the knockout blow
aimed at a groggy pugilist. Scurvy
' is groggy.
Johnson and Hopper of the United
States public health service have re
cently published the results of a
study of scurvy in a lot of guinea
piffs fed all kinds of milk.
They found that milk, as a food,
was a very poor antiscorbutic agent.
This held true of all kinds of milk
fresh, raw. market milk and even alt
kinds of milk powder.
The dairy that made the certified
milk claimed to feed their cowi on
green food, while the other raw milk
was from cows fed on silage, and the
pasteurized milk and the milk pow
ders and dried milks were from mis
cellaneous sources.
In apite of this, the pigs of the
one ijroup developed scurvy just as
did the pi of tin; other.
One conclusion I quote:
"It is not wise to depend upon
certified milk alone to prevent scurvy.
Strong antiscorbutic material like
orr.ngc juice should be added."
It is just to certified milk to quote
another sentence:
"N'o milk is trustworthy to pre
vent scurvy, when the animal is not
forced to consume large quantities of
it daily. Orange juice must be added
or some other substance high in
antiscorbutic power."
One or two of the milk powders
1 ad 'some antiscorbutic power, but
tlie conclusion tpplicd to them and
to the baby foods in general, as they
did to liquid milks.
While orange juice is the standard
antiscorbutic, it is not the only one.
Tomato juice and even the cooked
juice of canned tomatoes, is excel
lent for the purpose.
Potato soup is good. Spinach and
other fresh vegetables are all right.
Lemon juice, lime juice, apple
juice, prune juice all of these have
fome antiscorbutic power, but not as
. . . U A. .,., tit ctaiiflai-rt
People, i. -.eluding babies, eating a
mixed diet, are in no danger of
scurvy. Milk is a good food, but is
not an antiscorbutic of great value.
As an antiscorbutic, certified milkt
raw market milk, pasteurized milk
and milk powders arc ab'out on a par.
Safe Drinking Water.
G. V. H. writes: "1. Will you
please tell me what to do about
drinking water when on a vacation
to Ocean View or Virginia Beach,
to avoid getting typhoid fever.
"2. I have read that the juice of
a half lemon, squeezed into each
glass of water, wilt kill any typhoid
Kerms that may be in it, and make
it safe. Is that right?
"3. What about the ordinary
drinking water jn Richmond? Is it
quite safe, or should it be boiled dur
ing the summer, or what?
"Please tell me also what a
woman of 54 should eat and drink
who has scanty urine? What to
avoid?"
REPLY.
1. Assuming that the. water in
these nlaces is not safe,' you can
make it so by heating or by adding
chemicals. .
Heat two pints of water until it
starts to boil. Add one pint of un
hcated water at once. In this way
the bacteria are killed and the water
doesn't taste cooked.
You can buy tablets of chloride of
lime and tablets of halazone, pre
pared, to make drinking water safe
by simply dissolving them in proper
dose in the water. The directions
for use are shown on the label of the
bottle.
2. You cannot depend on it.
3. It is safe.
4. 'Drink an abundance of water
and other liquids. Eat watemclons
and soups.
Feed Baby Less Milk.
E. writes: "I have a baby nearly
7 months old, who is being fed on
certified milk, modified with Mellin's
food and water. She is getting along
fine, but has occasional attacks of
loose bowels.
"1. Do you think the ordinary
pasturized milk would be better.
"2. Would the certified milk cause
diarrhoea in the warm weather?
"3. Is fresh milk (raw milk) more
nourishing?"
REPLY.
"our baby has an occasional, mild
attack of indigestion. It is probably
of minor importance.
1. Pasturized milk is a little safer
than certified milk, but there is no
great diiferenee. Stick to whit von
ra uting. It probable that the ;
trouble in this i not with the
kind of milk, but witii the quantity.
Teed I"1 !'
.'. No, a4iimiiig that you keep
baby well, and do not overfeed.
3. No. It contains more antiscor
butic principle, particularly in the
pnng and early tummer.
