Nature, in the machinery Of diges-
ton, has given us q capital hint az to
how our food, animal and plant, should
be ingested. The mouth Is provided
with juices that digest only starchy
foods; and the stomach Is provided
with juices that digest only animal
food, with the possible exception Of
fat. This fatless animal food (called
proteids by chemistry is attacked by

NAL food of every kind. including fat /;
and likewise all the starchy foods
which have been only partly digested
In the mouth. The Germans signifl,

would do quite well without either
stomach or mouth. The famous Ger
man Psychologist, Ludwig. reported
that two Of his dogs lived for several
years in above-normal health with nc
stomachs at all.
The moral of all this would seem te

Man Should Live 12O Years

Metchnikoff. the Ingenious and start

great Partisan scientist does not put

Metchnikoff through the work he has
