bloodthirsty animal. ever vigilant to
kill and destroy. The life OF the dog to
day, the practical, everyday habits Of
the dog rs a companion to civilized poo
pie, is enough CT itself to refntc this
theory. Dogs eat vegetable food and
thrive N it. Many eminent physicians
and v%egetarians teach us that animal
food fed to the dog without a large pro
portion Of vegetable food is sure to pro
duce initiated blood, organic trouble Of
the liver, stomach and kidneys, and to
a certainty obnoxious skin Diseases
mango. eczema, etc. These results, com
ing as they do directly from feeding
meat, are q proof of the unwholesome-
ness Of meat as an article of diet. We
have the testimony Of the best vegetl-
rians-Glover, Sherwood, "Ashmont,"
Mills, etc.-which should settle the sci
entifc phase of the question.
We have the evidence of the dogs
fondnoss for vegetable food to settle the
natural features Of the question.
1t is true that at ONT time in the
past, SO far back that the mind or knowl-
edge Of man cannot reach, when the dog
was i'll the wild state, and when he was
forced to eat meat or starve to death, he
was carnivorous. While he has the Cd
liabilities of living on vegetable food,
nature seems to be remiss Ill furnishing
him with the correct teeth for grinding,
such as we observe III the horse. OK,
sheep and goats. This is surely "a re-
marEablc instance of adaptability, as we
observe in only Il other animal, and
that is man himself.
No doubt all these changes in the ma
ture OF the dog have been brought about
By domesticity; the association with
man and the consequent impressions and
education which have been TRANSMITTED,
from generation to generation through
centuries, till at last what was mere
education became neutral and heredi-
tary.
Man himself has changed greatly ia
his nature from civilization or the as
in a state of society, which has
beneticent effects in enlarging his mind.
improving his body and adding to his
knowledge.
These effects. while not so pronounced,
are quite noticeable in all the animals
under his dominion, the horse. the OK.
the dog and the cat, which in its wild
state Is the most bloodthirsty and cruel
OF all animals and has withstood the
beneficial effects Of a%ssoeiating with man
to q degree exceeding that of any other
animal. Still the nature of the cat has
been much softened and improved by it's
lie III domesticity, and it, too. is grad
ually changing from a meat eating ami
NAL to an eater of vegetables.
With the testimony of our best pro
men, the testimony of MANY
owners Of dogs and the testimony of the
dog s natural craving for vegetable food,
and the good health which follows Iiv-
ing on a vegetable diet, is it not aston
lshlng that there should be n person
who claims that a diet Of meat alone is
proper for q dogs? In the light Of
modern science and experience the old
notions are gradually being
swept away to the oblivion which over
takes the misbeliefs left in the rear br
1t is possible that the habits of the
