AN ANALYSIS OF
The WAY TO EAT

Continued from Page II
tute today some protoplasm from the
heart of an embryonic chicken which
has been kept in a special incubator
since 1912 when the renowned DIR.
Alexis Carrel started the expert
ment. This heart is nourished with
a balanced ration of all the elements
required by the chicken and regu-
larly the toxins (poisons) are
drained off. And so long as the
blood supplied to it is kept pure, so
long as it receives the right nourish-
ment and proper cleansing, the
chicken heart will never die!
This, then, is our lesson: to keep
the bloodstream so clean, so free of
toxins, in other words, so pure that
it will keep our hearts and bodies
young. For our bloodstream is veri-
ly the fountain Of life and of youth.
The blood reaches into every living
part of the body; to each cell it
brings the protein food with which
to renew it and the fuel food to be
burned by it, as well as the red
corpuscles that are the carriers of
oxygen and the white corpuscles
which protect the body from germ
invasion and multiply so miraculous
ly when disease begins its ravages.
And when the cells have combined
fuel and oxygen to give heat and
energy to the body, when they have
renewed themselves with protein,
the bloodstream carries the waste
products out to the various channels
of elimination.
1t is true that no diet has yet been
devised, no way of living completed,
SO sensitively attuned to the individ-
ual requirements that death car be
forever postponed, but these past
years have marked great strides for
ward toward giving us the knowl-
edge of the elements of diet and way
of living that can best keep the
bloodstream free of toxic poisons
that life may be prolonged to the
century mark under the conditions
of life which our civilization i'm
poses. But not, I hasten to add, a
prolongation of senility and decay,
the accepted handmaidens of aging
people, but a prolongation of youth,
and a middle-age of health and mem
tai alertness finally merging into the
last days of life.
Perhaps no better example can be
found today of mental and physical
fitness than the ~crusading Upton
Sinclair, still writing, still fighting
the battle for humanity, as vital to-
day as twenty or more years ago.
Has he accomplished this on the
American diet of Northumberland

ing with all extremists in diet, by
evolving a simple diet replete in
fruits and vegetables and whole
wheat bread. He learned to under
stand and control the health of his
body, just as every layman can and
should.
There is no age-limit at which one
may begin to revolutionize his
health. True, one cannot hope to
recover lost parts, but n car re-
cover a good measure of life that
would otherwise be lost.
A very interesting story of re-
iuvenation through diet is the one
of Cornaro, the fifteenth century
Italian nobleman, of whom we shall
hear next.
