AN English physician has shown
why some people can digest milk read
lily and others can not. He says: In
the digestive fluids of the stomach
there exists special ferment by which
the flesh-forming part of the milk, the
cheese or caseine, is especially digested.
This ferment continues in action
throughout life in some persons, but
not in all; so that there are some who
can digest milk at all times and others
who can not digest it at any time. In
those who too exclusively feed on flesh
meat and starch substances the diges-
ton Of milk ceases to be natural act.
