Milk must be taken in right quantities
and in right combinations. II cannot DC
denied that milk digests better when taken
by itself or in very simple combinations
than when mixed with large variety or
other foodstuffs. In some instances, alsn
o. large quantity Of milk is more easily d.
gestlble than small quantity.
When tho stomach produces a large
amount of highly acid gastric juice the
curds formed when n small amount OF milk
is taken will be large and tough, whereas
IL a larger amount OF milk Is taken the
curds formed will be smaller and softer.
Hence, the proper remedy In many cases
In which person complains that he cannot
take milk Is TO take more milk.
When milk is largely used as a nutrient
the rest Of the diet should consist chiefly OF
fruits and vegetables. This is because milk
contains an excess of lime and is deficient
in potash and soda, which arc necessary
for perfect human nutrition.
The last-named elements are abundant
In fruits and vegetables. particularly in the
potato. which is also very rich In salts OF
potash.
A diet consisting exclusively OF milk and
cereals Is less satisfactory. Such n diet
often gives rise TO scurvy in infants. Ce-
reals are deficient in the alkaline elements
that are needed to neutralize the acid PROD
