Salne Q. a Mixed Diet.


some recent studies upon the nutritiye

do not fully support the views OF those
sanitary reiormers who adyocat vege-
table diet as cheaper. less stimulating
aud quite As nourisaing 10 the system
"a animal food Whatever may be true
OF tropical climates. it certainly seems
that in the temperate zone mixed diet
Is far preferable To make this clear
the results vi two experiments may be
quoted, as follows: 4 man was given
1000 gramme- OF potatoes, 207 OF len
ills and 80 of bread. The average re-
suit Of six days experimenting with
the above diet showed that $50 grammes
of the solid matter were digested, ll6
remsining intact; 256.s grammes of
starch were digested, and 25.2 were
not; but of the heterogeneous matter.
which il supposed to be the most valua-
bic OF all To the animal economy. only
3s.7 grammes had been assmilated.
leaving a.. 1 as waste, less than half the
quantity present being utilized. The
other experiment was conducte |
upon the same subject with
animal food. He was given
diet consisting of 800 grammes OF lean
bee, l2j OF pure lat. and - of flour.
The result was that 22l.S grammes OF
the solid matter were diEested leaving

two pounds OF meat daily, and found
.aat al but - per cent. o. the albu-
miuogs matter was assimllated. and
that when twentg-one eggs were taken
daily only , 2 per cent. OF the albumen
rcmained undigested The experiments
here cited are selected from host of
others. all of which tend 10 establish
the very superior nuiritivc value of
animal food. However, there is no
doubt that the general health, physical
constitution and the circumstances of
life have great influence in determining
the kind OF food most suitable for the
individual. The main fact established
by the above experiments is that the
nitrogenou. constituents. which are the
most nutriiive elements OF food, are
more readily obtained from animal than
from vegetable foods, as in the first in
stance cited, when 3S.7 grammes were
assimilated from vegetable Diet,
against 15 grammes from lean beef. At
the same time it may be said that the
system does not always require so much
heterogeneous matter The demand will
depend upon the rapidly of the waste
of tissue in the body. Probably those
who take considerable exercise. or who
are engaged in hard phi steal labor, re
quire more nitrogen .han others of
sedcntary habits. No arbitrary rule
can be laid down for our guidance in
this matter. and probably the best
guide of ali-certainly the most likely
10 be followed by the world in general
is experience, habit and desire. We
have vet much to learn about the rela-
tive value of food studs, and many
popular notions must be gi1enup. IL Is
generally supposed that brown bread
IS more readily digested than bread
from white -four, but this opinion is not
supported by the results OF experiments.
