FOODS
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
Copyright. 1915 by Alfred w. Mccann)

I culin test of any herd in New York
State, including the so-called certified
herds, for five years has failed to find
ituberculous COWS. They are in every
herd.
1t has been conclusively demonstrat-
ed by many investigators, including
Professor c. K. Hacker of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, that underlying
this tuberculosis of the dairy herds is
the juggled food, consisting largely of
commercial by-products, refined and
denatured foods. upon which the ami
mails are required to subsist. Upon
the counterpart of these foods, dena-
tured in the same manner, humanity is
also asked to subsist.
All animals have natural instincts
to guide them till they are Gagged or
harnessed or put into stall. The
human animal has intelligence instead
of instinct. and it is his failure to ex-
ercise this intelligence which Is re-
sponsible for thousands of ills which
his ignorance visits upon his innocent
children.
It is the purpose of these articles to
reveal to you why some plump chill
dren are pale and why some pale chill
dren are thin and why some children
with normal red blood haven't an
ounce of fat upon their bodies.
The weight of the child has little to
do with its morals, but the poorly
nourished child manifests many alb
normal characteristics which wise peo-
pie tell us are evil
Many little child heart, pumping
impoverished blood to hungry tissues,
feeding starved nerves with a polluted
stream. nourishing a tired little body
and wearied little brain with debased
food, goes for correction to the Chill
dren's Court or is punished" for the
mischievous pranks over which it has
no control.
You have seen bad" children,
cranky" children. "crueI" children.
reckless" children, nervous" chill
dren. Do YOU know that many of
them after a diet of six months on
Mother Natures food can preach
wholesome sermons to their elders?
For them the peg has been removed.
The angels-perhaps they can weep
know this. The world disregards the
simple laws Of nature in it's consump-
ton of degraded, debased, denatured
foods and then cries out against Cod
blaming Him for the prevalence of dis
ease upon the earth.
The lesson of the monkey, the fish,
and the COW teach humanity nothing.
On every hand is the eXtravagant ef-
fort of the professional chef, the home
cook, and the commercial food factory
to produce new novelties, new scenic
effects for dinner, new and complex
titillations for the surfeited and dis
ordered palate of man.
In the creation of these aesthetic
dishes there is constant wanderings
into fields far from natures own.
Let us not consider the normal fish,
the healthy monkey, and the disease
resisting sheep. Let us consider in
stead the cases of cured tuberculosis
among men, women and children.
Hope and faith are borne on joyful
facts when victims of that preventable
affliction go back to nature and eat
the foods that re-create a normal
blood supply, providing anew the nor
NAL resistance to disease and the en-
reproducing vigor that had been
lost unnecessarily.
The new red blood properly nour-
ished arrests the progress of disease;
walls up the tuberculosis LESSONS, and
the patient, if not in the very shadow
of death, is frequently reclaimed and
made well. The peg is banished.
