FOOD THAT HELPS GROWTH
, - - ,
New Chemical Production Shows Mar- I
velous Results in Promoting I
- - - Size of Human eings. ' !
Several doctors and chemists
have lately been studying a form
of food which is stated to show
marvelous results in promo ! ing
the growth of human beings and
animals generally.
Experiments have been mad
upon creatures so , tliverse as tad-
poles , guinea pigs , puppies , rats ,
and young chickens , and in every
case it was found that the animals
.
fed upon this food grew faster ,
- and attained a larger growth ,
than those reared in thc ordinary
waJ'
way.There
There seems , therefore , to be
no , doubt that children brought
up on this kind of nutriment
would far outstrip in size thos (
j . fed on other diet.
.And now , their curiosity roused
, readers may ask : "What is this
wonderful food / " Well , it is
nothing more or less than the
yolks of eggs. Their effect ip pro-
moting- growth is due to a substance -
stance which they contain , and
which ( scientists ( know as "leci-

" 11 hat would you say , " adds 1\1.
Santos Dumont , "if 1 told you tutu t
