David Paulson, Md, OF the Hlns-
dale Sanitarium.
First: Eat more natural food. This
is the time Of the year when DR..
Evans says that many people have
a touch Of scurvy. They have lived
all winter on hog and hominy," or
its equivalent. He advises that we
turn our attention to green garden
truck TO cleanse the blood, such as
cold slaw, lettuce, carrots.
Genuine, old-fashioned Graham
flour is better for the health than
white flour, because God has put
the vitamines and much Of the min
eral in the covering OF the grain.
The same is true OF natural brown
rice. When fowls were fed exclus-
lively on polished rice for three
weeks they began TO be paralyzed
and suffered other symptoms Of d.
sease. When they were fed on whole
rice they were soon restored. We
invite those who can not secure nat
ural rice in their home markets to
correspond with us.
Second: Do not fry starchy foods
in grease. In frying them the grease
percolates down through and COW
ers every little particle Of starch
with a coating OF fat 50 that 1t Is
bomb-proof TO both mouth and
stomach digestion. The digestive
juices can not get at IL until the
food reaches the small intestine and
the bile cuts of the grease.
Some folks say they like fried
foods. That is no sign they are good
for them. Some people steal be-
cause they like to. The thing to do
is to add the fat 10 the food when
we eat instead OF soaking IL in fat
while IL is being cooked.
Third: Do not eat blistering, burn
ing condiments. God never intended
those substances to come in con-
tact with the delicate mucous men,
brane OF the digestive organs. l
have occasionally put a mustard
plaster on the outside of a stomach,
but then I took IL off when it began
TO raise blisters. Those who put 1t
on the inside must leave It there.
And remember that a blister on the
inside means a gastric ulcer. Mus
tard, pepper, Worcester sauce, and
the rest Of that family, have no bus
mess in the human system. God
has put the flavor in every food just
as He has put fragrance in every
flower. What is the use Of spelling
good food by adding 70 it such crude,
coarse, blistering, burning substance
es as fiery spices and singing con-
diments?
II food tastes fiat without these
things try il for a few weeks and
God will begin to restore TO you your
normal taste so you can appreciate
normal foods. Common table salt,
used moderately. is an exception, for
IL is a substance which naturally
exists in the blood; which is not
true OF these other wretched things.
Fourth: Do not eat large quanti-
ties OF protein food. The body can
use advantageously moderate
amount for building and repair ma
terial. The waste products that re-
suit from IL are virulent poisons. and
pave the way for Brights disease,
high blood pressure, nervous pros
tration, and many other disorders.
Modern medical science has learned
how TO conquer practically every
disease except those that result from
over-eating, and especially eating too
much OF the beefsteak line of food.
God put ten per cent OF this kind OF
food in grains; and that is the right
proportion.
Many people have deluded them
selves into thinking that they must
eat this sort OF food in order to be
strong. That is a mistake. The OK
does not get its strength by eating
OK. Corn is not made into
better food by being changed into
pork; in fact, il may have trichina
nr take work added 10 IL. There lie
no advantage in eating secondhand
food any more than there is In |
wearing secondhand clothes.
Fifth: Do not eat between meals.
Children should not be permitted to
piece at all hours Of the day. Ma
lure does everything in regular
rhythm. When we persist In break
ng into that we speedily break down
he digestive system. We should
consult principle instead Of incli-
milton. Those who persist in MUNICH
ng between meals will In the end
