The recent experiments to discover
,he effect of diet on physical endurance
sre regarded by writer N the Revue
sc,entifiuue as clearly Indicating that
.rtire or partial abstinence from meat
Greatly improves ones resistance to
fatigue. He remarks that there Is al.
vays lively contest on between meat
eaters and vegetarians. but all question
Of theory or self-appreciation apart. he
believes 1t is interesting to inquire
whether flesh-eaters resist fatigue bet.
tar than abstalners. He notes first q
series of experiments made by our own
Prof. Irving Fisher on healthy subjects
chosen from among both desh.eaters
F. and vegetarians, showing that the lat
tar resist fatigue much longer than the
Others. This fact having been
duly established" he says, 1T remains
TO Investigate the cause" He con
t'uues:
"Dr. A. Haig thinks that this resist
,nce is acquired by all those who give
ND foods that are able to form
uric acid; for, according to him, it IL
this that causes fatigue. His the.
cries have found both adherents and
opponents.
According to Haig, the action OF
uric acid Is due to the fact that II
makes the blood viscous, and tina,
therefore the heart finds difficulty in
forcing it through the capillaries, SC
that there is an increase of blood pres.

that persons who have great endur.

!, theoretically, these products are the

ITO sum up, the problem Of alimen
tation remains still to be solved, but
4 it is at any rate proved that when
the food is poor in albumen, as is the
case with abstinents from flesh, the
endurance is more considerable.
II physicians are tending to dimin
ish the quantity of meat in prescribed
diets, and are thus in accord with
4 the theories of partisans of q

"A large number of persons, without
