Show Vegetables vs. Gout. Speaking at a vegetable banquet at Leeds, iu England, the other day, the Kev. C. H. CollynB said he was descended from a loug lino of gouty ancestors. He had been a snfleror from gout, but having, more than ten years ago, become a total abstainer, and having, not long afterward, become a vegetarian, vege-tarian, he had gradually driven the gout out, aud could give no other reason for it except pure and wholesome whole-some living total abstinence from alcoholic liquors and from flesh meat. The teeth ol man Bhowcd that he was not a carniverous, but a frugiveroua animal, and tbe stomach, he contended, con-tended, also showed that it was intended in-tended not to receive flesh, but the fruits of the earth. He would not go back to his former mode of life for anything that could be given to him. Vegetarian diet agreed with the delicate deli-cate as well as the robust. It waB wholesome and enjoyable, and to it he owed a new lease of life. |
