! wnEAT-NEAL, OR uSpo1TEp FLOUR.
| Wheat-meal ID far more nutritious and lifted
to build up tho syBtem than suporflno -four,
which iB bereft Of about one-half Of tho tiesuo-
making clements. O. 8. Hubbell, II. D.,-a dis
tinguished pharmaceutist of PHILADELPHIA
furnishes the following analysis Of the flour and
bran winch he receivos from tho mill to which
he acnds his wheat for grinding: From every
100 pounds Of wheat, about 10 pounds Of flour
and 40 pounds Of bran. The -four, {ho adds)
contains, Of tiasuc.makng clements (gluton, al
butnen, &c.), 1.65; of phosphatcs and othor b.
lines, o.70; total, 2.35 pcr cont. Tho bran con-
tains, of tisauc-making olemonts, $40; sanes,
phospllates, de-, 7.05; total 1915 per cent.
| That is. for purposes OF nutrition, the bran is
nearly Jfuejold richer than the -four, or (boine
ono-fourth tho weight Of the Aour) it has aa
much valuo as tho flour itaelf in every buslel.
It is unquostionably true that God made wheat
In tho boat proportions to build up and nourish
the system; and man In his folly has separated
and rojocted that part which contains all the
bran.
a Fronch Writer Informs III that the expert
mont was rooently mndo Of testing the SUPERIOR
ity OF whoaten-meal bread (unbolted-lour bread)
oyer common starch~bread (hue-aour bread).
Two dogs, Of similar ago and apparent vitality,
Were 1ed, tho ono on starch.bread and water
hlons. He pined away and died In less than
forty. days. The other was fed on whcat-moai
bread and water alone, and, ut tho end OF forty
days, he had gained aosh-soyeral pounds 10
weight.
Dr. Bellows statos "that animals have been
n 1fynr fat
th;ey gradually pined away aud died; md tho
animal can cat, will notsustain life beyond fifty
daysn.; but others fed on anoolted tlour would
continue to thrive, aud fatten. and grow stout
and strong, for an indefinite period.
AVOID AND REJECT srARcH-pnEAp.
II is not only deficient Of overY element thai
makes muscle, or bono, or fat, but it lacks tho
n,hcilaginous substance which is tho natural
stimulant Of tho almentary canal. 1t is con-
atipating+ and ut war with everything that
tends to build up tho eyBtom, and promote
tity of food be. reduced too low, or whothcr
thcI understanding or heat-1nnking ele-
monts DO withdrawn, ovon though the other bo
fully supplied. In either case the effect will be
weak, dwindle away, aud die sooner OF later, &c.
cording to the deficiency. Food, therefore, con.
tanning tho right proportion Of heaters and mus
clc-rnakers, III the best and most economical.
4 DETERRENT AND LOSS.
In Chicago, and nearly all American cities, a
largo part Of tho expenses Of the table arc s,,-
pertlno flour, buttcrs and srgar, neither Of which
contains enough OF the muscle, or brain and
bono-making elements to suatain life over fifty
days, as has been proved by experiments With
flour, while butter and sugar will not sustain life
single month without food. Az far HI wo layo
articles OF food deficient in carbonatcs, We can
use. without loss, butter Or sugar in 1nodorate
quantities to supply tho deficiency, but most Of
ol1r national food, both animal md vegetable,
contains due, proportion, and il, with them, wo
use butter md sugnr, thus destroying that cor
rect proportion, they cannot bo spportioned to
nor aBsimilated by the syatom, aud aro therefore,
loBt,-utterly and entirety lost.
All 1noata, fat and loan, all grains, and milk.
contain al! the carbouates needed, or can bo
used to furnish heat in moderate weather..
Therefore, all tho buttor or sugar that IL added
to olther Of these common articles Of food, aa
they arc used in making cakes, custards, pcs,
etc.. arc not only lost but, by adding too much
fuel, Increase the tendency to inhammations,
emharraas the stomach, induce consestlonH, OBJ
gtructions, constipation. mud TINT "lylng
dcath," dyspepsia. which is fearful}y on tho in
creuse III our country.
WHEN ADMISSIBLE.
In articles Of food dclicient in carbon. such as
lean meats, fish, potatoes beans, or peas, somo
oily substance seems to be needoa Then wo
cati take orr choice botweon butter, lard. or fat
pork all of which aro precaoly alike IN chemical
