in the enjoyment of vigorous health,
may eat bread Immediately after being
baked, without any sensible injury from
it; but weakly and aged persons can

change in newly brewed beer, or new
ly-churned butter-milk, neither being
healthy until after the change. Dur

large portion of carbon, or unhealthy
gas, and imbibes large portion of oxy-
gen, or healthy gas. Bread has, acs
cording to the computation of physi-
clans, one-fifth more nutriment when
ripe, than when just taken out of the
oven.

of his having bots or worms or any
kind of disease, and they will eat it
sooner than they will the best hay.
