GENrLEMAS in the audience here askea-Win the
Doctor mention before he leaves the stand what he
considers good selection Of articles Of vegetable
diet
DIR. ALLcorr-Anything you please I do not go very
deep in this matter do believe that bread Is the
staff Of life and the that would go through the
country, and induce people to put the bread on
the centre of the table, would do great good. Yes,
put the bread in the middle of the table not the man
gled corpses of murdered animals There isl great
riety of articles of bread would insist Graham
bread that they say scratches the throat il goes
down Though that is the first kind with me it don t
scratch the throat too much. The different kinds Of
bread and light puddings were mentioned by the
speaker among which he included the mealy potato,
which, he said. little loaf of bread. Well then
said DR.. A.. let the bread stand in the middle; then
would arrange the fruits around the other parts of the
table with the oily substances, either milk olive
oil, in their places Here, then, have corn, vine,
wine, mean the fruits from which wine is expressed
do not mean fermented wine, with which would
have nothing to do. Fruits are good as food but
they should be eaten with regular meals, part Of
those meals. But must call on DIR. Graham to give
you stronger meat than am able to furnish you to-
night.

told me that was eloquent. Then was fired with
ardor. and spoke as l cannot speak here, tonight
looking again at the empty benches) 1t was the
abiding faith that possessed, that had but to pre-
sent the truth to have 1t take effect in securing the
good intended; that then gave me the confidence
which possessed. The speaker here passed to some
remarks confrmatory of what DR.. Allco had said in
reference TO the anatomical and physiological adapted
