The digestibility of cheese is an ever
yexcd and disputed question. A clever
scientist asserts that it requires twice
us long to digest as ordinary food. 1t
consists largely Of caseln, which is both
nourshlng and digestible, but this
point is envuloped, as it were, in fat.
which Is not soluble by gastric Juice;
hence, if the gastric Juice does not di-
gest the fat, neither can it readily di-
grst the casein. Cheese should be eaten
In small quantities, with a large guam
tity Of bread Or similar food, and must
be thoroughly masticated.
