Kever waa mortal man more unfortu

between stimulation and nutrition. ' This
mistake, in the physiological tense, may
well be celled the fU of the race. ; 1 urn
has been for man'y. ccmurics the great
grand error of the acii'ntific world, or the
medical profession, Knd of lh pcojilo "at

grossest cnmpounda,under the-name of
food i of all form of rlchilic combina

the most virulent poisons under the name
of medicines.' It is the root nud storting

nt of all manner tf faUC theories and
bad habits i od its practical application
is spreading disease, and inultiplying iu

No two ideas can be more intrinsically
