NUTRITIvE PROPERTIES OF SUGAR.
The nutritive properties of sugar are
+ much moderated in this country. As
an aliment, DR.. Rush, of Philadelphia,
maintains that sugar produces the
greatest quantity of nourishment in a
given quantity of matter Of any sub
stance in nature. Horses and cattle,
when fed wholly on it in ST. Domingo
for some months, when the expectation
of sugar and importation of grain were
prevented for want of ships, during the
crop-time in the West Indies, all APP
pear fat and fourishing. The cattle
fed on the cane tops become sleek and
in fine condition. The negroes drink
freely of the juice land become fat and
healthy. Sir Geo. Staunton observes,
! that many of the slaves and idle per-
sons in China hide themselves among
the canes and live entirely or them for
time. In that kingdom the emperor
compels bis body guard to eat certain
quantity of sugar, that they may be-
come fat and look portly. Sugar and
rice constitute the common food of the
people, and every kind of domestic ar
ilnal IS fed on sugar. Plague, malig-
nant fevers, and disorders on the breast,
are unknown in the countries where. su-
gar is abundantly eaten as food.
