nitrogenou- food, il worse than use
less IN coniectiunary, cakes, etc, es-
pecially If eaten between meals, and
when food is not wanted, as it not
only adds 10 the ssperfluous heat,
but causes fermentation in the stom-
ach and bowels, and causes, or tends
10 cause, ilatul.ncc, collie, Dyspepsia,
and the thousand and one troubles of
the digestive organs, which we are
apt la impute to green vegetables aud
lruit, Wien the fact is, these extra
carl,onl"rous subs tanrcs, in their
passage out of the system, enibarrass,
the digestion al natural food, and
rttiar ii to give rs these troubles
and this is proved by the fact that
those who avoid those expensive and
useless articles may eat a. much ;,i
they choose of green vegetables and
fruits, and they give them no liatu-
lencr, produce no irritation.
Our Puritan fDrrfatheTS, " lao lived
on beans, peas. unboltcd grains, and
the meats, vegetables, and fruits "a
they came fron their fields and gar
dens, cooked in the simplest manner,
best calculated to deN eiop their natu-
raj Favor and prepare them for di-
.:c~tion, w-Tr not troubled with HAT
silclicc, coiir, or indigestion. And
our f"relathera were Not the pale
faced, fiabby muscled, tonthlcSs
rhlor.tic consumptiye, and scnti-
mental race, aa are their degenerate
daughters of the present generation
Even our farmers and their wives
ANA daughters have become terribly Y
degenerated. Instead of tlc robust t
and healthy men, ani the full chest
ed, healthy, rosy checked, beautiful
women of former generations, we see
Il people almost a. feeble and sickly
a5 the city people. And the reason
is apparent. The outer crust of the
" heat, and the butter milk, which
contains the nitrogen, phosphorus,
lnd iron on which strength ami en-
crgy, mental aud physical, and beau
t y of complexion, depend, is given to
the cattle and the pigs, while they
take themselves, instead, the butter,
fine flour and sugar which contain
only the heating and disease produc-
ing carbonates.
The robust Irishman and Scotch
man, also, who come here with strong
energetic muscles and sound teeth,
from their oatmeal, wheat and harley
cakes, with their potatoes, butter
milk, and cheese, seon fall into oul
starch and grease eating habits, and
become, OF at least their children,
become, a. pale, puny, and toothless
a. purc-bIondod Yankees.
The writer then proceeds To- emu
lurraLe the articles of food best adapt
Ell To iutlpart muscular power, among
which he names, i'll their order,
cheese, Southern corn, beans and
peas, lean flesh of meats, and fish,
and concludes this interestin" branch
of his subject with showing Niat
combination OF food Will meet tho
daily requirements of the laborin9
man, he says
The daily requirements are llV,
OUNCES OF solid mitrale9 for the mus
cle=, twenty to twenty-five ounces oI
carbOnates for animal heat, two oI
three per cent, OF phosphatcs foi
boncS and for nervous power, Win
waste and water to give it bulk, and
the blood through the liver; and the
food must be so prepared and cooked
as To- be eaten with II relish, and moi
to be too easily digested.
BY the foregoing table we see " hei
we can get the live ounces of nitro
"enous rood, " hich il the first dali y
requisite for the laBoring man, :,io
we see that in the articles of foot
which come unchanged from nature:
stOrchouse, we have AT the same
time "A part al all the other requisites
some containing too many Tor the or
diu.trS demands of the system, aho
some not sufficient, making variety
of food necessary and We have seen
also that the natural appetite ano
taste directs To the use of such artl
cir, of natural f,god at The same niea
