Children most affected in this way by animal food are those with water on the brain, and those of a very delicate constitution. The juice or broth of meat is in some such instances sufficient to produce fits. The remedy consists in the institution of a milk diet. In all doubtful cases avoid a meat diet in any form, and watch ...
