MORE FISH.
THE FOOD FOR CONSUMPTIVES. A strong appeal for the frequent use of fish as an article of diet was made by Sir James Crichton Brown, the eminent physician, at a conference held by the Sanitary Inspectors Association iu London. He said that the eating of fish would do a great deal to check the ravages of consumption. “There can be no question,” he remarked, “that a substantial addition to the food of those living in primary poverty, and whose earnings are insufficient to obtain the minimum amount necessary for the maintenance of full physical efficiency would be protective against tuberculosis, and contribute a still further reduction iu its prevalence. To render fish foods rich in protean, accessible to the very poor, would be to take another step, and a long one, towards the abolition of the great white plague, and we must, therefore, very earnestly wish success to every effort made to bring cheap fish food within the reach of our poorer classes, and to awaken them to a sense of its utility.
