Too Much Pork: Not Enough Fat

Too Much Pork: Not Enough Fat
 Without doubt the fat in pork is about as hard to digest as anything can be. A person has to have Fstrong digestion and must be en- gagged i'll hard work in order to take care of this food, although it is true large number of persons depend upon it especially through the cold weather. The fact is, however, that as rule fat is large ly deficient in our food; that is, fat which can be easily digested and promptly assimilated by the system. Cod liver oil, as we find it in Scott's Emulsion, is the most easily digested of all fats; it is just the food the body must have to give it nerve power, brain power and digestive power.
