Experiments have been carried out by a doctor, M. Maugan, in order to discover the effects of different diets on the liver. The doctor took a number of ducks, some of which he fed on a meat diet, others on fish, others on insects, and yet others on vegetables. In each class the diet was exclus've. There was no intermixture, As a result, it was found Mia I the liver of the piscarians was by fir the heaviest, that of the insecteaters came next in weight, then thai of the vegetarians, which was, in turn, considerable and outweighed this organ in the meat-eaters. Now, if a meat diet were, as has so often been affirmed, the most productive of toxns, it is obvious that, the proportions should have been quite otherwise, for the organ which lias the most eliminative work' to do naturally increases most in hulk and weight. This must he a severe blow to vegetarians, ami it is hard to sec how they will parry

it. Of course, it is open to them to point cnl that a diet exclusively composed of inserts is still more dangerous than that which they advocate with passion. The answer is obvious, Xo one eats insects, except, perhaps, a vegetarian in his salad. Ask the jockey, ask the groom, Ask the girl who wields the hroom!
