GOOD AND BAD EGGS
A DOCTOR’S OPINION. Sir James Crichten-Browne, M.D., who presided at the annual dinner of the Institute of Certificated Grocers, gave a discourse in which eggs good and bad occupied a considerable time. With much of what was said, more especially as to the value of uew-laids, everyone will agree. The efforts of the National Poultry Organisation Society have been mainly devoted to increasing the supply of native eggs, and of so improving the methods of marketing that consumers shall he able to obtain those which are first-class in quality, and whilst, in their best condition. One important point brought out by the speaker was that some of his professional friends in the poorer parts of great towns have told him they have hesitated to prescribe eggs for their patients because they conld not be sure they were really good and fresh. He pointed out the danger of stale eggs, suggesting that all preserved should be marked and sold as such. If that were practicable, which is doubtful, it deserves consideration, but should he applied to all that are preserved, no matter whence their origin.
