Nutrition for the Brain.

Some time ago. Prof. Agassiz, in a
speech before Boston assemblage, assert
ed that fish diet, on account of the guam
tity of phosphorus contained in it, is espec-
tally adapted to nourish the brain, and that
those persons who subsist upon it largely,
are consequently more likely than others, if
possessing the same natural powers, to be
distinguished for their brightness and in
tellectuality. Prof. Agassiz is generally re-
gaFded as being, in such matters, the high
est authority in the United States, if not
the very highest living, and this estimate is
undoubtedly correct; but. DR.. G. NJ.
Beard, excellent scientific authority, op-
poses the Professors theory in an able
magazine article, arguing that brain work
requires richer and more substantial food
ard larger quantity of it than mechanics
and laboring men, because
First-Labor of the brain causes greater
waste of tissue than labor of the muscles,
three hours of hard study producing more
important changes of tissue than a whole
day of muscular labor.
Second-Braiuwork as class, are
more active in their work than mechanics
and laborers, the thinking powers, the
tools of the trade Of brain workers, being
always at hand and seldom idle.
Third Brain workers exercise, more or
less, all the other organs of the body as
well as the brain.
