Philadelphia Record: Professor
Pfuhl, head Of the physiological labo,
ratory of the army department, has
concluded a number Of elaborate ex-
%periments with sugar as food for
troops, and reports from the various
corps state that a favorable result has
been secured.
They show that a sugar diet in
crenses the muscular power in a much
shorter time than does the white of an
egg. and that it is of the greatest
value in cases where speedy bodily re-
cuperation is desired owing to the RAJ
pidity with which 1T is absorbed.
Professor Pfuhl found that after
long walks three or four Jumps of
sugar removed all feelings of lassi-
tude, and, TO a certain extent, restored
the elasticity of the muscles, this ef-
feet being frequently produced in u
quarter Of an hour.
