Chapter 35—Pickles
Fundamentals of Christian Education, 150-151
I was seated once at the table with several children under twelve
years of age. Meat was plentifully served, and then a delicate, nervous
girl called for pickles. A bottle of chow-chow, fiery with mustard and
pungent with spices, was handed her, from which she helped herself
freely. The child was proverbial for her nervousness and irritability of
temper, and these fiery condiments were well calculated to produce
such a condition.
Testimonies for the Church 2:368
The mince pies and the pickles, which should never find a place in
any human stomach, will give a miserable quality of blood.
Testimonies for the Church 2:383
The blood-making organs can not convert spices, mince pies, pick-
les, and diseased flesh-meats into good blood.
The Ministry of Healing, 305
Do not eat largely of salt, avoid the use of pickles and spiced foods,
eat an abundance of fruit, and the irritation that calls for so much drink
at meal time will largely disappear.
The Ministry of Healing, 325
In this fast age, the less exciting the food, the better. Condiments
are injurious in their nature. Mustard, pepper, spices, pickles, and
other things of a like character irritate the stomach and make the blood
feverish and impure.
