phosphates of lime, of soda and of
magnesia are essential to all vege-
table and animal life, in fact 81 per
cent. of the bones and 80 to 80
per cent of the teeth of every animal
is, by actual analysis, proven to be
phosphate of lime. Every one of
these animals must get this supply
OF bone-producing phosphate with or
in their foodstuffs, consisting primar-

lions of centuries of time animal life
has fiourished ON our earth. During
all of these cons of years the bones

some of the three forms of phosphate
