Infantile Stools. The following summary is appended to a paper contributed to the Physician and Surgeon by Dr. Charles Douglas (Medical Review of Reviews) : Green stools are never healthy. They always show imperfect digestion. The damage to the child is in direct proportion to their presence. These stools render children more susceptible to acute gastro-enteritis in hot weather. The high infantile Summer mortality follows children suffering from this colored stool. Through unhealthy nutrition the blood is poisoned and the various tissues are improperly nourished. The excreting organs, particularly the kidneys and liver, are frequently damaged by the extraordinary duties imposed on them in the elimination of these poisonous results from the blood. The continued irritation and innutrition favors the development of inherited diatheses and acquired cachexias. No child is free from complications dangerous to life, or from developmental errors, who suffers from frequently-recurring green-colored stools, particularly the very liquid and foul-smelling ones.
