any other animal, fed upon the prod ucts of white flour, of polished rice. ot denatured, commercialized cornmeal, of refined sugar, die in few weeks with all the symptoms of the great Ameri can disease nervous exhaustion?
 Do>you know that in state prisons. k railroad camps, in leper colonies the same commercially refined foods-the average American pure foods"-were fed to men and that they all developed pellagra and other diseases of mall nutrition?
 Do you know that it was a food-de- ficiency disease, beri-ber, not the navies of her enemies, that forced the German raider, Kronprinz Wilhelm, from the seas? And do you know that although beri-beri was thought to be confined to the tropics thousands die of it, under different names, in the United States every year?
 Do you know about the farce of certified milk" of inspected and passed meats" or of the one hundred other food frauds?
 Do you know what to eat to safe guard your own natural immunity from diseases that attack the unsuspecting victims of refined and impoverishe ed foods?
 Arthis and more is answered in Mir. McCanns book, the product of his years of experience, the. fruit of his untiring war against food adulterators, who, in spite of scores of prosecutions which Mir McCann has pushed against them, single handed, are still practi- cally an adulterating trust.
