FOOD THATMAY KILL
Meals Taken Under Certain Con
ditions Are Dangerous.
THEY SIMPLY BREED POISON.
One Should Never feat When Hurried,
Excited, Angry, Anxious, Grieved,
Worried or Shocked, For at Those
- Times Digestion Cannot Take Place.
A wise man has said, "Circulation
follows attention." That is, whenever
there Is need for the activity of any
function the organ which performs that
function receives an increased flow of
blood. For instance, a man has taken
a long walk and arrives home tired and
ravenously hungry. As he enters the
house lie catches the aroma of cook
ing food. What happens? Why, to
use a vernacular phrase, "his mouth
•waters." The attention Is directed to
the need of eating, and the organs en
gaged in eating and digestion at once
begin to get a greatly increased supply
of blood.
It is out of the blood that these di
gestive organs manufacture their vari
ous fluids by which each organ accom
plishes its special part in the work of
digestion; so when an increased quan
tity of blood is poured into them each
organ begins at once to make large
quantities of its peculiar fluid.
v The salivary glands are in the mouth,
under the tongue mostly, and when a
greatly increased quantity of blood is
sent to them they at once elaborate and
pour out into the mouth a portion of
their contents; so the hungry man who
smells the odor of cooking food waters
the mouth. Thus the mind governs
the body,
j. .Now, the action of the glands of the
mouth which produce saliva is exactly
like the action of the glands elsewhere
in the body which produce gastric
juice, pancreatic juice, bile and other
fluids, through the associated action
of which the process of digestion is
carried 011. When 'the hungry man
smells the aroma of food there is a
rush of 1)1 oc.l to all the digestive or
gans, mouth, stomach, small intestine
and liver. As a result of this increase
of circulation there is suddenly poured
out more dige th\- fluid, not only sa
liva, but the others as well. The gas
tric juice begins to flow, the pancreas
and liver got ready, and the entire di
gestive system is prepared and able to
take care of any food which is reason
able Hi kind and quantity.
The point of greatest importance in
all this is that these fluids are poured
out only when the mental condition is
right—when there is in the mind a
desire for lood. it there should be any
feeling* of disinclination for food, if
there should be even an indifference
to food, the food taken under such cir
cumstances would not and could not
be properly digested.
If there is in the mind any feeling
other than desire for food, if just pre
vious to eating or while eating any
thing should occur to disturb or dis
tract the mind, then there would be
immediate derangement of the circula
tion. Under these circumstances the
blood would be withdrawn from the di
gestive organs and the elaboration of
the fluids of digestion would cease.
Then, of course, the body would be in
no condition to receive or digest food.
Sqppose that our friend returning
from his long walk greeted at the door
by the odors of fragrant viands a few
moments later is handed a telegram in
forming him of the sudden death of
his only son in a distant city. What
happens then? At once there is a pro
found change in the circulation. The
blood which a moment previously was
massed at the stomach and other or
gans of digestion, all ready to f&ke
care of the meal, is at once switched
ofT to the brain. The man flushes and
then pales. * His muscles lose their
power. He drops into a chair. Per
haps he weeps. Hunger? It Is the
last thing in his thoughts. "I cannot
eat!" he cries. "Oh, my son, my son!"
And the same perversion of the cir
culation occurs in anger, anxiety, wor
ry, jealousy, haste, excitement or any
other state of mental pain or inquie
tude. All these conditions simply put
the digestive organs for the time "out
of business." Food taken under such
conditions cannot possibly be digested.
Instead it will ferment, putrefy in the
System and will *be the cause of dis
comfort, of disturbed function, of dis
ease, perhaps of death.
Does this seem extreme? me
tell you a story. A gseat, strong, big
breasted, energetic man comes in from
a day's fishing. He is delightfully
tired, "hungry as a bear." At the ho
tel he finds waiting for him a telegram,
bad news. lie "I cun't eat." His
friends persuade him. He eats a hearty
meal. In two hours he Is dead. It is
a true story. I know of a score of such
cases.
And from all this what can we learn?
We can learn this: We must not eat
when we are hurried, excited, angry,
grieved, anxious, worried or shocked,
for food at such times will d 6 us only
harm—will perhaps send us with In
decorous promptitude to that bourn
from which no traveler returns. Food
taken under such conditions will not
digest, but will promptly begin to de
compose, forming poisons that will pro
duce any one or more of a numberless
symptoms, ranging from
simple heddache to death from heart
failure.—W. R. C. Latson, M. in
