Orange Peel a Poison.

The habit of chewing orange and lemon peel is a very bad one which is much to be deprecated. The little follicles contained in the rind of the orange and the lemon contain a poisonous acid of a very irritating character, as is evidenced by the sensation produced in the eye when a drop is projected into it by the bursting of one of these follicles. The slight headache which often follows the eating of orange or lemon peel is doubtless due to the effects of this poison.—Good Health.
