Aversions of Appetite.

Dr. Oswald calls attention, in the Popular Science Monthly, to the fact that an antipathy to a special dish indicates the presence of a constitutional repugnance, which it is not wise to disregard. He says : I knew a Belgian soldier on whom common salt, in any combination, and* in any dose exceeding ten pennyweights, acted as a drastic poison, and thousands of Hindoos cannot taste animal food withodt vomiting. Similar effects have obliged individuals to abstain from onions, sage, parsnips and even from Irish potatoes. Dr. Pereira mentions the case of an English boy who had an incurable aversion to mutton: “ He could not eat mutton in any form. The peculiarity was supposed to be owing to caprice, but the mutton was repeatedly disguised and given to him unknown; but uniformly with the same result of producing violent vomiting and liarrhea. “ And from the severity of the effects, which were in fact those of a virulent poison, there can be little doubt that, ii the use of mutton had been persisted in, it would soon have destroyed the boy’s life.” We know a lady whose missionary work in Burmah has attracted the attention of English-speaking people, who could not eat rice. Once when she was visiting in England, her hostess, thinking the aversion a mere whim, put a table-spoonful of rice in the soup. Though the soup was strained be fort being served, and not a grain of rice was to be seen in it, yet the moment the lady tasted it she exelaixned, “ Oh, there’s rice in this soup I” and was obliged to leave the table.
