FOODS THAT CAUSE ILLNESS. LONDON, July 21. Based on the old saying that whafc is one man’s meat is another's poison, medical research is being directed to a new method of curing asthma, skin eruptions, sick headache, and even epilepsy, by serums prepared from foods which are regarded as the cause of the ailments. Serums are now lasing prepared from a number of vegetables.

•‘Almost everyone lias an antipathy to one food or another,” said one of the investigators yesterday. ‘‘Strawberries act as a food poison to some, eggs, shell-fish, tomatoes, milk, and even whoa ten bread to others.

‘•The protein substance in the food does the mischief, and for some years we have been able to test patients for their sensitiveness to proteins.

“The offending food being found, it is removed from the diet, and usually the disease is cut short.

“The serums now being tested, will, if successful, enable sufferers to eat the foods which affect them without harmful effects.

“Serums are being given to epileptic patients at Hamvcll Mental Hospital, but it is too early vet to state the re suits.” «
