able character.

Oysters as Food.

Speaking roughly, a quart Of oysters
contains, on the average about the same
quantity OF active nutritive substance as
quart of milk, or pound OF very lean
beef, OF a pound.and a-half of fresh cod
fish, or two-thirds OF aSpound OF bread
But while the weight Of the actual nu-
triment in the different quantities of
food material named is very nearly the
same the quality is widely different.
That of the very lean meat OF Goldfish
consists mostly of what are called in
chemical language protein compounds
or flesh former" substances which
make blood. muscle, tendon bone, brain
aud other nitrogenous tissues. That Of
the bread contains but little Of these,
and consists chiefly of starch, with 3
little fat and other compounds, which
serve the body as fuel and supply 1t with
heat and muscular power. The nutri
tive substance of oysters contains con
siderable Of both the flesh. forming ant

ingredients, Oysters come nearer I
milk than almost any other commo
food. Their values for supplying tn
