Why We Can't Live
 Without Trophogen

NY means of that invaluable little creature the fN guinea pig, Professor Rutledge Rutherford a
 physologist of Chicago, has finally unearthed and identified remarkable substance which he has named "trophogen' bitrophon." whics means ito produce nourishment and fe." His experiments began with guinea pigs were confirmed afterward upon mice chickens kittens and other animals, and there is not the slightest doubt that his great discovery will
 lead at to the rewriting of all knowledge upon foods and nutrition
 Trophogen is alsustaining nutriment that ia
 bsolutely essential to life It is widely distributed
 every knownfoo and without itthat is, by trying to nourish yourself supposed foods that do tain 1tdeath quickly occurs It occurs in albuminous
 socaed proten-foods, and is the basis of all animal tissue
 Professor Rutherford and his pupils have also dis covered that sarches and carbohydrates gen. eraly have relatively little trophogen; and hence in spite of their heatproduclng power, could long survive on them alone. Furthermore, and startling to learn is the fact that oils and fats ntermxed with animal matter have absolutely trophogen They are therefore of no value as food if unaccompanied by other things
 Chemical preservatives even when harmless in themselves, according to this revolutionary research destroy trophogen and thus the worst enemies of civilized man. Even canning processes rob the food of this lifegving principle and the saler food grows, matter what it's original contents the less trophogen 1t retains
 Fresh foods are always full of trophogen and hence are decidedly the best for all of us This also explains why savage nations that obtain their diet from nature In its fresh, wild state hearty of health Trophogen is manufactured by herbs vegetables plants stored up by man and the other creatures, but the animal world cannot make it. and is therefore forever uepenuent upon the vegetable world. Y s
 There is new chemical and detetic science grow ing up around Professor Rutherfords marvellous triumph, and 1t is called "trophology It is the new est of the sciences, and explains the origin nature the cause and the results of eating various foods Dr. Harvey w. Wiley and his cohorts taught that sugars and sarches are dangerous foods in the Summer in tropical countries and in hot weather Yet few stop using them Trophology explains this by showing that these elements contain trophogen.
 One of the important that hastened Profes- sor Rutherfords discovery and that there was such an underlying food principle trophogen WIS strengthened ri vyhic the disease beri beri" It was shown that polished rice and machine crushed wheat lacked an essential necessary to sustain health It remained for Professor hutnerford to point out that it was trophogen Even pigeons grow poorly and develop thin skulls if some thing Is lacking in the foods they eat
 Irophogen Is entirely different from fat protein, sugar, starch or salt It more closely resembles lat than any other food constituent. It is moro subtle food than any yet known. required five years Tor Professor Rutherford to finally get his on it. Now he is able to isolate and identify 1t without trouble and expects soon to develop simple way of obtaining It without expense.
