CHAPTER so

Physicians Seek in Vain, in Their
Treatment of the Infirmities of HUI
manity, for Mineral Substances That
Can Renovate the Broken Human
Body-Sctentists Cannot Create Life.
Sustain Life, Nor Restore Life by
Artificial Means - There Are No
Mineral Salts of Synthetic Origin as
Far as Human Health Is Concerned
Bakers Cannot Put Back Into Bread
from the Hands of Chemists the
Things Which Are Understood Only
by God.
In the presence of the statement
that people are digging their graves
with their teeth, the officials of gI-
gantic baking corporations admit that
the staff of life is broken and inform
us, as we have seen, that they have
mended it.
Before they began to tinker with
their task they manifested little SYM
pathy with the proposition that the
stan of life was broken. Now that
they have patented a great discov-
cry" boon for the benefit of hu-
manity" wherewith to make bread
really nourishing" by restoring the
salts which it had lost their attitude
is changed.
Yet, surely. if what they now con-
fess is true, modern white bread.
which they admit is lacking in nour-
ishment unless 1t contains their pa
tented yeast powders, was always
lacking in nourishment.
No patented process, invoking the
pharmacy while despfsing the farm,
formula, can resurrect dead bread by
squirting into the unbaked dough a
solution of inorganic salts.
The plaster of paris innovation is
quite as weird, as a contribution to
science, as the discovery that buck
eyes cure rheumatism and leeches are
81 panacea for all sorts of ills.
Yet, the new bread, which, accord
ing to the patentors is the only bread
that can use tn plaster of paris
resurrector becomes a form of tomb
stone therapy standing by in SNUG su-
periority while the miller takes all
the good out of Gods wheat, which
everybody, rich and poor alike can
have without patent prescription or
privilege.
When the job of destruction is done
this tombstone therapy takes out a
patent on what it calls a scheme for
putting that good back in again so
that nobody, henceforth forever. can
eat any nourishing bread, free from
fusel oil and other pernicious acids.
unless they eat the particular kind
of bread which is covered by this
life-saving patent.
This patent, ponderous as it ap-
pears, makes no claim of restoring to
any bread the salts and colloids of
iron, calcium, silicon, manganese,
magnesium, phosphorus, potassium
sulphur, iodine, fluorine, chlorine,
etc, found in the whole wheat berry.
II knows that it can do nothing of
the kind. Nature refuses to divulge
her secrets to the commercial scien-
lists who prate knowingly of calories
and who are at the same time as
helpless in the presence of chlorophyl
and hemoglobin as they are impotent
in the presence of death itself.
They can't create life by artificial
means. They can't sustain life by ar
tificial means. They can't restore life
by artificial means. There ae no salts
CT colloids of synthetic origin as far
as human health is concerned.
Physicians have sought in vain in
their treatment of the infrmities of
character that, can renovate the
broken human body Failing to find
them they have explored other fields
and we have, as a result, antitoMns,
serums, and germicides.
Commercial scientists know that
they cannot put back into bread from
tho hands of chemists those things
which are understood only by God
Colostrum is the first food of the
human being, as it is the first food
of all mammals. Its exact role is not
yet fully understood by scientists
From the nature of its composition, its
corpuscles, its salts and colloids, it's
fats, its sugars, its proteins and its
anti-bodies, it is inferred that it fur
nishes to the newborn child, during
it's adjustment to its new surround
ings and the full expansion of it's
lungs and the awakening of its di-
gestive processes. an adequate
nourishment of a character similar to
that which it received from the pla-
centa as a foetus.
Commercial scientists might as well
try to produce synthetic colostrum,
synthetic blood, a synthetic spinal
cord, a synthetic nervous system,
synethic brain, and a synthetic
soul as synethetic bread. The most
colossal impertience now visible in
this world of confusion is the effort
of man to duplicate in ignorance and
