BY DIR. VALENTINE.

iished book called uThe A, B, u, of Our
Own Nutrition in which he advocated,
rDo right the feeding of your body;
Nature will do all the rest for you
aright.D After dozen years of uninter- |
rupted experiments upon himself and
upon dogs, cats and O5her animals, Mr..
Horace Fletcher concludes that the aver
age human being eats three times as much
as is good for him that by eating only
one-third as much and masticating it
even more thoroughly than by Glad
stones famous thirty-two bites of each
mouthful, a person is assured of unfailing
health, strength, contentment and lon
gevity. In word he will have annihil-
hted the chief cause of all disease-indi-
gestion. Mr.. Fletcher conducted expert
ments at Yale and Cambridge UNIVERSE

of his experiments he advocates that
people should ignore false appetite and
wait for a return of normal appetite,
which is Indicated by a desire for some
particular simple food, accompanied by

and puny, with poor, circulation, because
they have already ill-treated their stom-
achs by hasty eating or too much eating,
by consuming alcoholic beverages, or by
factory, and In consequence the stomach
must be treated in natural way before
they can rectify their earlier mistakes.
The muscles in many such people, in
every weary, thin and thin-blooded per-
con, do their work with great difficulty.
AS result fatigue comes early, is ex-
nutritive aid is ahead of the supply: To
insure perfect health every tissue, bone,
nerve, tendon or muscle should take
from the blood certain materials and
return to it certain others. 1t is neces-
of taking up from the food what is
necessary to make good, rich, red blood.
We must go to Nature for the remedy,
which shall be simple but etfectlye.
