QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

' A contends that gelatine Is very nu
tritious and adds greatly to tho food
value of ico cream. B contends that
gelatine haB no food value and is used
time that Is crood in'mnlt iner inn PrPnm mnriv'ns n. him

dangle some symptoms before tho Answer. Gelatine probably has
reader's eyes now and then to keep some food value, that is, undergoes
up that hopeful expectation.
In tho quiescent Interval , between
"attacks" of piles, a sensation of full
ness and distension, is commonly felt
by the subject, as tho from a foreign
body or retained fecal mass. This
ofton leads to III udvlsdil self dosing
with cathartics- or to tho use of cno
maa, both of which tend to increase
tho congestion or distension of tho
affected veins and honco to aggravate
tho trouble. One at ail subjoct to
piles can scarcely do himself a groatoc
injury than to tako regularly or fre
quently a laxative tablet or "liver pill"
containing aloos or similar purgative
ingredients. Indeed, thei habitual use
of such physics must bo- reckoned
a common contributing cause of piles.
