more or less than egg Vpoisoningi
If the patient' eats - auy portion',
no matter how small, of an egg, J

followed by 'a painfnl: swelling of
the throat,. ha id and face, an ex
cruciating sickness of the stom
ach, and at l evdd v with nauseat
ing v conditions. It goes even
farther than that. If the patient
even enters the room where eggs
are being cooked., in any manner
and inhales the odor of them, a
swelling of the throat immediate
ly follows antf. severe vomiting:
The patien t is in very good health
other,; than this" peculiarity,' and
the severe suffering attending the
paroxysms ia sorhethiug dreadful.
.The attention of the medical fra
ternitv la callpd to this apparent
ly new disease, ifl it may be call
ed a disease, - and-a-more careful
