Further on he says: THE beginning and end
Of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
ple and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes 1t In vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply dehciences-this Is the only law of
cure"
The natural conclusion is that If Phosphate
OF Potash Is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
1t. you have brain fag because It's daily loss is
not supplied.
On the contrary. II you eat food known to
be rich in this element. you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain building.
In the trial sneer was uttered because Mr..
Post announced that he had made years of
search in this country and some clinics of
Europe. regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion Of food.
But must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work we'll brain that is
broken down by lack of nourishment
A peaceful and evenly poised mind is neces-

Worry, anxiety. fear, hate &C., &C. directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the

fere with the flow of the digestive Juices of

Therefore, the mental state of the individual
has much to do (more than suspectsd) with
