p nitrates that class whlch supplies the
waste of muscle Third, phosphates
the class which supplies the bones, the
brain, and the nerves, and gives vital
power, both muscular and mental,
The nitrates and phosphates in wheat
are all contained in the gluten, which add
heres to the bran and middlings, and is
rejected with it in the boiling process.
DIR. Bellows states that animals and
persons have been fed on pure starch, on
sugar, or fat alone and they gradually
pinned away and died" He adds, "The
nitrates in all the fine starch -four bread
a person can eat, is not sufficient to sus-
tain life beyond so days"
The superiority Of wheaten-meal bread
was recently confirmed in Paris, by a
French chemist thus: Two dogs of the
same age and apparent strength and vi
tality, were fed-the one on starch bread
and water alone He pinned away and
died at the end of 40 days. The other
was fed on wheaten-meal bread and wa
ter alone, and at the end of 40 days he
exhibited increased strength and vitality.
DIR. Hamlin of New York City, says;
"Superfne starch-hour bread ranks
among the predominant causes which
shorten life. Bolted flour is wholly a
carbonate-a heater hence, it not only
fails to build up the system and impart
vitality and muscular strength, but by
its heating and infammatory nature, en-
kindles disease, and is the prolific source
of fevers and premature death. 1t also
causes constipation, which, says DR.. Fitch
of New York, is the prolific source of
very many different and fatal Diseases y
Of which he adds their names.
DIR. Samuel jackson, Professor of the
Institutes of Medicine in Pennsylvania,
whose opinions as physician and phys
iologist, in this and other countries are
held in such high estimation, says, " The
> phosphate of lime is necessary con-
/ stituent of all grain. Furthermore it is
/ an important nutritive principle, and re.
J cent experiments have proved it to be an
indispensable element in the construction
not of the bones and teeth only, but OF
all the animal tissues" He adds, -" A
deficiency of the phosphate of lime in
food is common cause of i'll health, OF
defective development and retarded
i growth in children, one fourth of whom
in numbers die, ere they pass the age OF
seven. BY the mistaken boiling process,
, the phosphate OF lime is rejected with
the bran, and in consequence this neces-
sary and highly important element of

by nature, is entirely lost and not OBJ
