Many persons now abstain from eating such small fruits as grapes, black-berries and raspberries. The seeds of the berries, when settling in the vermiform ap- pendix, as often happens, cause the trouble, Whether the consumption of these berries is dangerous we are not prepared to say ; any other foreign sub- stance lodging in the appendix, will likewise cause appendicitis, The Reporter is led to these remarks from the fact that this year the berries largely remained ungathered upon the bushes. Heretofore families were eager to find the berries, but the dan- ger of appendicitis resulting from their consumption, has led to these other- wise wholesome small fruits being dis- carded.

The new law regulating the manu- facture and sale of cheese in this state went into effect last Monday. The new law requires the name of the manufacturer to be placed on all packages of cheese and it regulates standards and brands. By direction of the department there has been made analyses of over 300 samples of cheese selected in different parts of the State. These tests so far as yet reported indi- cate that the cheese iz fairly up to the guarantee required by the law, and that nearly all of the samples show over 32 per cent. of batter fat as re- quired by law, The new vinegar law requires the article to be of pure cider and makes provisions as to the color of the article.
