'sIt is generally admitted by authorities on the
subject of Diet that nitrogen is the most essential
of all foods. and that certain amount should be
taken daily. 1t appears that the elimination In
quantity of food most frequently affects the nitro
gen. Meat Is the ar icle of diet which, as a rule is
of nitrogen, for in England, at all events meat is
the popular article of food and in cases Of chronic
starvation, we mostly find the quantity of meat
taken is exceedingly SMALL"

ports of cases such as Dr. Hewett

What produces relapse In fever cases, Prof. R.
Demmie in his investigations, found that the red
corpuscles are greatly reduced even in the first
twelve to fortyeight hours of fever, in some cases
equal to one halt their number
We all kno1o that person in a relapse can talk
and think olich Is labor. 1t is also fact that the
brain consumes oneffth of all the blood and it is
only oneforteth of the body, showing the cause of
many having relapse in fever, and few recov-
eri from it.
Murdock's Liquid Food, given in fever. prevents
relapse as 1t makes blood faster than all prepare
lions known, and supplies the wastes that the dis
ease makes.
