In the infant the liver Is relatively
much larger and more active than in
the adult. In a number of cases in

injurious in these cases in adults.
In flesh-eating animals the stomach
and liver are much larger in proper
tion than in the vegetable-eaters. An
apparent exception is found in the
ruminating animals, like the cow,
which gathers large quantity of food
and stores it in the first of a series of

velopment of the food tube indicates

The writer has recently made sew
eral days tests of an exclusive mill
diet on himself and others, carefully
recording results. A change from
the ordinary mixed diet to any mon
odiet is beneficial, and milk is moi
an exception. But the benefits de
rived from the milk diet which have
recently been much advertised SHOULD
be credited to the monodiet, avoiding
the injurious effects of mixing severa
incompatible foods at the same meal
Equally satisfactory results can bt
shown from many other monodiets-
even the peanut, which is the mos
concentrated of all foods, containing
an excess of albumen. Great gain
have been recorded from exclusive
diets of beans, oatmeal, wheat, etc.. a.

Prof. Metchnikoff, head of the Pas

praiseworthy investigations into th
causes of our early decay, has con

man to live his natural term of life
100 years, is due to the development
of pathogenic germs in the lower par
of the food tube from improperly d
gested, superfiuouS food, and recon
mends the use OF buttermilk as a.
antidote.
