FOOD AND DRINKS WHICH WEAKEN DESIRE. All kinds of food which cause dyspepsia or bring on constipation, diarrhea, or irritate the bowels, alcoholic beverages, or any indigestible compound, has the tendency to weaken the sexual power. Drunkards and tipplers suffer early loss of vitality. Beer drinking has a tendency to irritate the stomach and to that extent affects the private organs.
Those of us who wandered up in his neighborhood occasionally, to see how he was getting along, were received with such scant courtesy, that we did not hasten to repeat the visit. At length, after none of us had seen him for weeks, we thought that comradeship demanded another visit. We found him in the last stages of scurvy and diarrhea. Chunks of uneaten corn bread lay by his head.
The following chapter is taken from one of these bulletins prepared for parents by our Government. Summer Is a Critical Time for the Infant, During This Time It Should Receive the Most Careful Attention A baby must be kept as cool as possible in summer, because over-heating is a direct cause of summer diarrhea. Even breast-fed babies find it hard to resist the weakening effects of excessive heat.
This spoiling can be prevented by strict cleanliness in handling foods, especially milk, meat, and fruit; by keeping foods screened from dust and flies; and by keeping them cool with ice in summer time, thus checking the growth of these "spoiling" germs. The refrigerator in the kitchen prevents colic or diarrhea, ice in hot weather is one of the necessaries of life.
Recently Joly described congenital hernia of the stomach in a man of thirty-seven, who died from collapse following lymphangitis, persistent vomiting, and diarrhea. At the postmortem there was found a defect in the diaphragm on the left side, permitting herniation of the stomach and first part of the duodenum into the left pleural cavity.
If the stomach seems delicate and irritable, strain out the bran, but in most cases, retain it. In case of diarrhea, walk with the child in arms a great deal in the open air, and give it rice-water to drink.
Food, taken in health, stimulates this contraction and if taken when there is inflammation enteritis, colitis or inflammation of any part the contraction is increased and necessarily painful. Think of the pain that the subject of diarrhea has, then imagine what that pain must be if there should be obstruction so that the fecal matter could not pass.
But it was idle to attempt to arrest with blackberry root the diarrhea, or with wild cherry bark the consumption of a man lying in a cold, damp, mud hovel, devoured by vermin, and struggling to maintain life upon less than a pint of unsalted corn meal per diem.
The great mortality among the Federal prisoners confined in the military prison at Andersonville was not referable to climatic causes, or to the nature of the soil and waters. 2d. The chief causes of death were scurvy and its results and bowel affections-chronic and acute diarrhea and dysentery.
She now even dressed herself, answered slowly though not consistently, but she again denied feeling troubled or sad, “I feel better.” On July 7 she got brighter but was still rather slow. She then even began to do some work. She again denied feeling sad. In a few weeks, while having a temperature of 102° with vomiting and diarrhea, she suddenly got freer.
