We will suppose that from his work
he lost a pound q day and made up a
pound each day from food. If that prem,
Use proved 10 be true the man in sixty
DAYS time would make sixty pounds OF
tissue 10 replace what had been lost, and
this would he done on Grape-Nuts and
milk with half the number of ~calories OF
butter, upon which no one can sustain
life.
Therefore. we nave reason to believe
that our contention is right that CON
centrated food like Grape-Nuts. which
is partly digested and ready for easy as
sanitation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will abb
scrb than many other forms of food, and
we will further say that in cases of diges-

We used nearly all Of the paper. and
