-MESSRS. FOWLER & WELLS:

-

-_Gentlemen_:—I have read with great interest a sermon by Rev. Mr.

-Clymer, of Auburn, on “The Relation of Food to Morals,” as it appeared

-in the Auburn _Daily Advertiser_ of June 20th, 1880. Certainly

-everything stands related to morals; and all men, women, and children

-should be made to see and feel this.

-

-I suppose I am considered an old-fashioned preacher. I believe in

-“original sin,” and I believe in a great deal of sin that is not

-original. I believe that every man is so corrupt that he can never be

-made pure without supernatural influence; and I believe that he must

-take advantage, at the same time, of all the natural helps. Even the

-grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot make the saint who is in the

-flesh, feel alert and happy, so long as he has any serious obstruction

-of the biliary duct. When I was a younger pastor in a Southern city, I

-was called by a mother to see her daughter, a girl of eighteen, who was

-in a dreadful way, inconsolably laboring under the oppressive feeling

-that there was no mercy for her. I prescribed for her torpid liver as

-my knowledge of the healing art enabled me to do, promising to call

-again soon. When I did call, the young lady was relieved, and I was

-able to secure her attention to the comfortable truths of our most

-holy faith. It is first the natural, and then the spiritual; St. Paul,

-1 Cor. xv. 46: “Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but

-that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.” We must

-always feel our dependence on the spirit of God for our regeneration

-and sanctification, but not in such a way as to make fools of us. The

-man whose faith in the supernatural makes him depreciate the natural,

-has no more sense than he whose faith in the natural utterly excludes

-super-nature.

-

-I think you would do a good work to issue Mr. Clymer’s discourse as one

-of a series of tracts proclaiming the gospel of hygiene. Will you not

-do it?

-

-  With kindest regards, yours truly,

-  CHARLES F. DEEMS.

-  REV. DR. DEEMS:

-

-_Dear Sir_: Yours of February 1 received, and contents noted. Thanks

-for your suggestion. Yes; we will do it. We will publish Mr. Clymer’s

-sermon in so cheap a pamphlet form that we can give it an almost

-universal circulation.

-

-We do this because we believe with you most fully in the gospel of

-hygiene.

-                          REV. J. F. CLYMER,

-

-      IN THE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, AUBURN, NEW YORK,

-                      ON SUNDAY, JUNE 20TH, 1880.

-

- “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the

- voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and that when they

- have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, then shall his father

- and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of

- his city, and unto the gates of his place; and they shall say unto the

- elders of his city: _This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will

- not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard._”—DEUT. xxi. 18-20.

-

-

-We have had much teaching that has left the impression on our minds

-that the soul is the _only_ source and seat of all the vice in human

-life. Because it is written “The imaginations of the thoughts of the

-natural heart, are only evil continually,” total depravity has been

-fixed on the spirit nature of man; that is, all the bad or immoral

-elements entering into human life have been attributed to the innate

-or inborn ugliness of the soul. Accepting the Scriptural truth that

-“the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” we have come to think that sin

-has its _center_, _seat_, _source and circumference_ in the soul, or

-the immaterial nature of man. Hence we readily admit the fact that

-influences, good or bad, may pass over from the soul to the body, but

-we do not so readily admit that _other_ fact, equally true, that

-influence good or bad may go over from the _body_ to the soul. The road

-over which vicious thoughts and lustful imaginations pass from the soul

-to the body is the highway over which unbridled appetites, unrestrained

-passions and unsubdued lusts in the body may go to the soul, goading

-it to the wildest conceptions of vice and lecherous imaginations. The

-warm rays of the sun may gender rottenness in the muddy pool; so also

-will the effluvia from the pool poison the sunlight near it. The soul

-by its vicious thoughts and imaginations will entail an immoral tone on

-the body; so also will the body react on the soul, by its appetites,

-passions and propensities, increasing the viciousness of the soul by

-pushing it to courses of vice not directly and immediately its own. In

-our text is found an illustration of this thought. A father and mother

-bring their stubborn and rebellious son to the elders of the Jewish

-church. They assign, as the cause of his stubbornness and rebellion,

-gluttony and drunkenness, than which there are no vices that demoralize

-the body more, or goad the soul to greater crimes. Hear it:

-

-“This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice,

-he is a glutton and a drunkard.” That is, bad conditions of the physical

-nature, wrought by gluttony and drunkenness, have made him stubborn and

-rebellious. It will not help the case to say that his stubbornness and

-rebellion caused his gluttony and drunkenness, for if they did, then

-his soul must act on the body. His morals must influence his manners,

-and therefore his manners must reflect on his morals; they must

-interact, which is just the point we make; that his appetite and lust

-fire the temperament or disposition, and a fiery disposition provokes

-appetite and lust to wilder indulgences.

-

-A remarkable fact, in this day of advanced science and revelation, is

-that Christians and moralists in their work of reform have paid so

-little attention to the influence of the body on the soul. Jesus Christ

-more than any other teacher or reformer recognized the demoralizing

-and debasing influence of bad bodily conditions. Hence he almost

-always healed maladies of the body before he entered his principles

-upon the soul. It is true that his many miracles on the bodies of men

-were primarily intended to reveal his divinity; yet divinity in its

-manifestations always runs over the whole line of the natural before

-passing into the supernatural; therefore Christ’s miracles on the

-bodies of men had a sanitary side to them. The man with the leprosy was

-in the poorest condition bodily to hear favorably any talk about moral

-sweetness; hence Christ healed his diseased body, in connection with

-his moral teachings. His example with the blind and hungry and deaf in

-this respect ought not to go for nothing with those of us who seek to

-save men in our day. Philanthropists and Christians for the most part

-have overlooked the power of a debased body on the soul. They forget

-that Paul likens a body that has sinful habitudes to a thing of death,

-as compared with the soul that seeks to live the new life in Christ

-Jesus. Therefore good men have labored to create in themselves and

-those whom they seek to reform, certain emotional conditions of the

-spirit, by a tenacious adherence to creeds, or the patient performance

-of a set round of religious duties, and all this regardless of bad

-physical conditions begotten by bad habits of eating and drinking.

-While they have been struggling to bring their own souls and the souls

-of others into holy attitudes, all the basilar forces of the body have

-run riot within, and perhaps beyond, the pale of human customs and

-human laws. If you want to empty a boiler of steam, it will not help

-you much by lifting the safety valve if you still keep water in the

-boiler and fire in the furnace. Prayer, Bible reading and Psalm singing

-will not help a man much to get rid of his sins, if he keeps up a set

-of bodily habits which fire the body and inflame the soul to continue

-its sinning. That you may see the connection more clearly between

-vice and victuals, let me show you how food may damage our bodies and

-demoralize our souls.

-

-I am fully aware of the difficulties I encounter in entering this

-thought on your minds. Because religion has been considered as having

-little or nothing to do with the body, I shall encounter the settled

-opinions of good men to this effect. Because our popular methods of

-eating have the sanction of custom and the defense of long established

-habits, I may not criticise them without losing the favor of those who

-are content with things as they are. Because I shall call in question

-many indulgences of appetite hitherto considered sinless, I shall run

-the risk of being called a fanatic or fool. Because I shall preach the

-New Testament doctrine of self-denial many will say this is a hard

-saying—“who can bear it?” But with the hope that I may unfold to you a

-glorious realm of liberty from the bondage of bodily propensities, I

-cheerfully do my duty and leave the consequences for God to look after.

-

-Very few of us are aware of the great physical demoralization and

-spiritual wickedness, brought on us and our children, by bad habits of

-eating, as to the kind of food, the mode of its preparation, and the

-manner and times of taking it. We refuse to think of our indulgences

-of appetite as the cause of our physical ailments and premature death,

-and much less will we allow ourselves to believe that these indulgences

-have anything to do with forming our morals or shaping our characters

-or determining our eternal destiny.

-

-And yet I aver, without the fear of successful refutation, that

-three-fourths of all our bodily ailments or diseases, and many of our

-immoral acts, are the legitimate results of improper dietetic habits.

-If these habits do not effect us directly, they do so indirectly by

-lowering the tone of the whole system, physical and moral, causing us

-to break down prematurely into some disease or deviltry, under the

-pressure of legitimate toil or immoral provocation. How is it possible

-to account for the death of one half the human family before five years

-of age, unless we trace it to the violation of physical laws in some

-way connected with the eating habits alike of parent and child? Many

-children enter the world with such a low state of inherited physical

-vitality, and so little moral tone, that they are unable to resist

-the attacks of bodily disease or throw it off when on them, and much

-less able to throw off moral disease and rise above their immoral

-heritage if spared to pass through childhood to years of maturity. Such

-children not only carry in their little bodies the physical weaknesses

-of their parents, but also the specific immoral tendencies found in

-the conditions of their parentage. And more than this, should their

-endowment of vitality be sufficient to carry them over the death line

-for infants, they are subject to such unnatural relations to dress and

-diet that it becomes a natural impossibility for them to live. In this

-way many children die prematurely, not by the arbitrary edict of God,

-but by the violation of law. And if God should save their lives by

-special suspension of his laws, more damage would be done to the moral

-harmony of the universe than to let them die. I know it is a common

-custom to ascribe all sickness and death to the direct and arbitrary

-action of Divine Providence. That is, if one overeats, or eats

-innutritious food, or at improper times, making himself sickly, so that

-he becomes an easy prey to disease, and dies suddenly or at the noon

-tide of life, all the good people say—“What a strange Providence!” As

-if God had everything to do with such a death, and the deceased had

-little or nothing to do with it. I incline to the opinion that Divine

-Providence has little or nothing to do with such deaths only in so

-far as Divine Providence is in the laws of life violated. The primary

-cause of all premature deaths is violated law. God does not arbitrarily

-kill anybody. Most of those who die in infancy or in early life, come

-to death by the violation of God’s laws written in their bodies. If

-these laws were obeyed in us and in our ancestry, most of us ought to

-live beyond three score years and ten, and drop from this life into

-the other in a ripe, mellow old age, just as ripe fruit drops from its

-bough in autumn time. But you ask where is God in the many untimely

-deaths that occur? I answer He is present in his great hearted goodness

-to help the dying to an eternal victory over death, if they will only

-let Him. He is present to bind up the hearts that are breaking with

-sorrow for the departed, and to make a sudden, untimely, and needless

-death a monument of warning to those still living, thus making the

-wrath of man to praise Him. If therefore our children die in infancy,

-because we have entailed on them feeble bodies by our violation of law,

-God does not kill them, but they die through violated law, and he in

-His goodness takes the little ones to His bosom, the seat and source of

-all law. Let us not then charge our sorrows to the willful enactment

-of our Heavenly Father. He taketh no pleasure in the death of him that

-dieth. When he gives life to us, He intends that we shall keep it as

-long as possible.

-

-Having given us life, all the forces of His boundless nature are

-engaged to maintain it in us until He is ready to harvest us as the

-farmer does the ripened grain. The God of nature and the God of grace

-are not in antagonism. “The one God is in all and over all.” A kingdom

-divided against itself cannot stand. If, therefore, we die this side

-of three score years and ten—seventy years—we die untimely. It is high

-time that good men were awake to this fact, and ceased charging over

-to Divine Providence what legitimately belongs to ourselves. “Jesus

-Christ came to destroy him that hath the power of death, that is the

-devil;” and when the philosophy of Jesus is wrought up into human lives

-by obedience to physical laws, the power of disease and death over

-our bodies will be very much broken. The victory over death can be so

-far achieved by men in the body that they need not die until their

-minds and hearts have received all the development in this world that

-infinite love ordains. That is, men may so baffle the monster of death

-by obedience to law as to keep him at bay until their souls have taken

-on such Christly ripeness that they shall burst and break their bodies,

-as the ripening chestnuts break their burrs under the frosts of autumn.

-We have, therefore, no right to ascribe to supernatural agency any

-phenomena which can be explained on natural principles. Disobedience

-to law brings penalties. There is nothing that men need to see more in

-their efforts at reform than the connection between their sufferings

-and their disobedience. Now, disobedience to the laws of life brings

-the penalties, sickness and premature death. There is no field where

-our disobedience manifests itself more frequently and with so little

-thought of consequences, as in our false and unnatural habits of eating

-and drinking, which damage the body and demoralize the soul.

-

-“The Blood is the Life.” This is the declaration alike of revelation and

-of science. Evolutionary processes may induce a variation in the form

-or number of the blood corpuscles, but they can not set aside the law

-that the building and rebuilding of all the organs involved in bodily

-or mental acts comes from the blood alone. The physical, mental and

-moral natures are so intimately connected that that which affects one,

-affects the others. So that a man’s mental and moral nature, as well

-as his physical, can very largely be determined by the quality of his

-blood. Now it is a physiological fact that our blood is made out of

-the food we eat. That food which enters the mouth and is assimilated,

-makes blood. By the marvelous processes of digestion and assimilation

-our food is transformed into blood; and the blood passing through the

-veins and arteries repairs the waste tissues and forms new ones, thus

-building up our bodies and sustaining life. It follows then that our

-bodies are made of the food we eat. Evidently it was the design of

-our Creator that the prime object of eating should be the building up

-of tissue—muscles, bones and brains. That this may be a pleasure to

-us, He has associated with eating the delights of appetite. But most

-of us have so far perverted the divine order as to make the pleasures

-of appetite the chief object of eating. “Give us something _good_ to

-eat,” is the great cry of humanity, and the goodness of food is gauged

-by the sensations of the palate and not by the law of nutrition. Most

-of us determine the goodness of our food by the amount of sensual

-delight it imparts to the palate, no matter how much damage it may

-do beyond to the delicate and intricate structure of the stomach and

-viscera. Hence a vast amount of food enters the mouth that makes bad

-blood, blood that in itself is corrupt, and carries poisonous particles

-to every organ in the system, putting us in splendid condition to be

-easily provoked to some outburst of anger, passion or revenge. My

-hearers, there is a sure and vital connection between bad blood and

-bad morals. Blood always tells in morals as well as in muscles. Blood

-has power throughout the whole realm of life, whether it be in a human

-body, in society, or in the body of a horse on the racecourse.

-

-You ask, what kind of food makes bad blood? I answer, very much of the

-flesh of animals, that forms the staple diet of most of us. Sty-fed

-pigs and stall-fed oxen are fattened under the most unlawful and

-unhealthful conditions possible; shut up in the dark, cut off from

-exercise, the fat deposited on their bodies is made up of the waste

-matter that the life-forces of the animal have been unable to expel.

-This waste fatty matter, surcharged with unexpelled excretions, is

-liable to induce disease in all who consume it. It has established

-tuberculosis in captive lions, and in cats and dogs, and in other

-carnivora; and it were folly to assume that mankind, feeding upon

-such poisonous food, should wholly escape. Even in the living animal

-this effete unexpelled poisonous waste breeds vermin, such as have

-been found in pork, which cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking or

-by the process of digestion, and hence live and generate in the human

-body, producing disease and death. I am not now making a plea for the

-absolute disuse of animal food, but against the bad quality of very

-much of it, and also against the inordinate use of that which may be

-good in quality. A certain amount of animal food is useful for our

-nourishment, especially in winter time, because of its heat producing

-qualities. But meat every day, and at every meal, is in no way

-necessary for the proper sustenance of the human system.

-

-The use of large quantities of animal food, however free from

-disease-germs, as a _staple_ article of diet makes the blood gross,

-coarse and corrupt, filling the body with scrofulous elements, sending

-poison to every part of the system, causing it to break out in running

-sores, salt-rheum, tetter and the like, producing an inordinate

-appetite, throwing every organ of the body into frictional relations

-to every other organ. It is a matter of every-day surprise to me

-that any human being will consent to eat the flesh of pigs. Consider

-their uncleanness, their selfish, greedy habits, the vast amount of

-corruption that enters into their bodies, their want of exercise,

-their impure breathing, their lack of sudorific glands or emunctories,

-through which effete tissues and morbid accumulations may be expelled;

-and think, when you eat pork, of the train of horrid elements which

-enter into your body. And your body thus debased by a low order of

-animal flesh, the effect must be to make you take on the disposition

-and tendencies of the hog. God’s bill of fare in the eleventh chapter

-of Leviticus excluded from the tables of the Jews the hog and all water

-animals except those that had fins and scales. This bill of fare was

-given to the Jews not only for the preservation of their health, but,

-as God’s great purpose was moral reform, He had an eye single to their

-moral condition in the matter of their eating. Does any one doubt that

-the unhealthy, ugly, and vicious elements that make up the flesh of

-most of the animals we eat, enter our blood, and in that way affect the

-disposition or carriage of the soul? I am confident, if there was less

-demand for animal food the quality would be very much better. Animals

-would not be subject to false and unhealthy generation, and false and

-hasty methods of growth. They would come up more in keeping with the

-laws of their nature, and come to us with more healthy and better

-qualities. As for the hog, if man would not domesticate him, he could

-not propagate his species. He would become extinct just like the lion,

-leopard, and hyena, under the march of civilization. As the blessings

-of civilized life reach us, you notice the carnivorous or flesh-eating

-animals become extinct. So it seems to me that with the developments of

-civilization there ought to be such moral refinements in human beings

-that they would grow away from their carnivorous tendencies, and eat

-such food as tends to develop the mental and moral faculties, and not

-the animal propensities. Among animals you find that those that live on

-the flesh of other animals are the most vicious and destructive, such

-as the lion, leopard, and hyena. Those animals that live on the grains

-and the higher order of foods are the best, most beautiful, and most

-useful, such as the horse and cow. If this law obtains among animals,

-why not among men? Beyond a doubt it does. If you want proof of this,

-study the character and lives of those who live largely on animal food,

-and you will find them very animal-like in all their relations—restive,

-impatient, passionate, ugly in their ways, fiery in their disposition,

-easily provoked, readily put out of humor. And if you could look into

-their private lives you would find all their baser qualities having the

-fullest sway, stopping, it may be, inside the fence of human laws and

-customs, but seldom considering the claims of a higher and divine law.

-I charge, then, very much of our household misery, domestic woe, and

-connubial wretchedness, to unrestrained lust begotten in the body by

-the inordinate use of animal food.

-

-We forget, my hearers, that the great law of nature, “Like produces

-like,” is universal. “Every seed after its kind is the law of all

-creation.” There is no exception to this law. This principle obtains

-not only in the production of life, but in the processes of its

-development. If my position about the intimacy of soul and body is

-true, then, if a man’s body is made up chiefly of flesh taken from

-diseased animals, and his whole physical frame is saturated with the

-irritating and exciting condiments of what is popularly called good

-food, the whole bias of his bodily powers will be toward animalism.

-All the impressions and impulses that the soul receives from such a

-body are beastly and debasing. Like produces like in the formation of

-physical tissue out of food, as well as in the generation of stock in

-the stall. Hence I hold that very much of the wickedness of mankind

-is the natural expression of physical beastliness rather than the

-outflow of innate viciousness. A body made up largely of all manner of

-nerve-goading, passion-producing, anger-generating elements, such as

-are found in the gross animal dishes with their stimulating adjuncts,

-just as surely drives the soul to sin as a tempest drives a feather

-before it.

-

-As modern research has proved that bad or imperfect food when

-digested surely makes bad or imperfect blood, incapable of performing

-its appointed work of upbuilding and of reparation, so has science

-demonstrated that perfect food is one of the most potent among

-remedies for the relief of many diseased conditions. Since the blood

-is the life, and since blood is merely food emulsified, mingled with

-certain digestive fluids and colored by the oxygen with which it is

-brought in contact in the lungs—it is easy to understand how perfect

-food may create perfect blood, which shall presently supplant that

-which is feeble, that which is lacking in waste-repairing power, that

-which fails to give strength to the muscles or vigor to the brain,

-and may thus become the most effective medicine. A perusal of recent

-professional medical literature evinces the great stress which is now

-laid upon dietetics in the treatment of all diseases. The approach to

-this high altitude has been gradual, but sure. At first foods were made

-the vehicles for drugs; and cod-liver oil and malt-extracts, which are

-only concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon varieties, were loaded with

-lime and iron and strychnine and phosphorous and scores of other drugs.

-But perfect results were secured by the use of these foods without

-the drug additions, and so the foods were at last given the credit

-which all along belonged to them. And so it has come to pass that with

-advanced medical men, in a vast majority of cases of sickness, the

-support of the life-powers by proper nutrients is the foremost thought,

-the best food proving to be the best medicine.

-

-The kind of food a man eats, and the time and manner of his eating it,

-are not merely a question of medicine, but one of the first questions

-of morals. The effects of food on the passions and feelings are thus

-described by Prior:

-

-    “Observe the various operations

-    Of food and drink in several nations;

-    Was ever Tartar fierce and cruel

-    Upon the strength of water gruel?

-    But who shall stand his rage and force

-    When first he rides, then eats, his horse?

-    Salads and eggs and lighter fare,

-    Tune the Italian spark’s guitar;

-    And if I take Don Confrere right,

-    Pudding and beef make Britons fight.”

-

-

-If, therefore, our meat has something to do with our morals, or if our

-food in some way affects our faith, it seems to me that many of our

-efforts at moral reform ought to be preceded by instruction in hygiene.

-In other words, efforts to make a man genuinely devotional ought to be

-prefaced by efforts to correct bad dietetic habits. A father, by prayer

-and precept and flogging, had done his best to reform his boy, whose

-staple diet was meat and sausage and pie and cake at his meals, with

-lunch between. The family physician said to the father, “If you will

-put a leech back of each of your boy’s ears once a week for a month,

-you will do more to reform him than your preaching and pounding will do

-in a year.” The father asked for the philosophy of this prescription.

-“Why,” said the doctor, “your boy has bad blood, and too much of it;

-he must behave badly or he would burst.” “Then,” said the father,

-“I’ll change his diet from beef and pie to hominy and milk.” In three

-months thereafter a better boy for his age could not be found in the

-neighborhood. The acrid, biting, evil blood had not become food for

-leeches, but it had done its wicked work and passed away, and a cooler,

-blander, purer, safer blood had been supplied from sweeter, gentler

-food sources.

-

-In your use of animal food be very particular as to quality and

-quantity. Lamb and mutton are considered the most healthy by the

-authorities. Avoid as you would contagion the use of pork, unless you

-raise it yourselves, and feed it with good grain, and not the refuse

-of the house or barn, and keep the animals as clean as you do your pet

-dogs. Never fry your meat with hogs’ lard, but stew, bake, boil, or

-broil it. Use hogs’ lard in no form for cooking. Most of it is said to

-be reeking with scrofulous elements. Displace it in _all_ your cooking

-by milk or butter. If you want to aid and not hinder the growth of your

-soul Godward, if you desire to have pure thoughts and a pure heart and

-a pure life, see that you make your blood out of pure food, or you

-will find that your soul will have an enemy within the castle of its

-body more treacherous and deadly than any of its enemies without.

-

-There is another popular article of food among us, which has a vital

-connection with bodily disorders and bad exhibition of character. Good

-in proper quantities and in its sphere, when made the largest and chief

-article of diet, for every meal, the one kind of food upon which we

-depend most for building up the wastes of our bodies, it indirectly

-does great damage. I refer to the ordinary fine flour bread made out of

-bolted wheat meal.

-

-It is proper to remember that the white flour from which our bread

-is chiefly made, and which is deemed the staff of life, is a purely

-artificial product—a selection from that perfect food combination

-which exists in wheat. A competent food chemist has compared the

-regular milling processes to one by which the fat part of an ox should

-be saved for food, and the lean part—the albuminous or nitrogenous

-portion—discarded and given to the dogs. The comparison is well based,

-since the starch of wheat, which is valued because of its whiteness,

-is a carbo-hydrate, chemically allied to the fat of meat; while the

-dark nutriment of wheat, which, because of its color, is discarded with

-the bran with which it is found in contact in nature, is a vegetable

-nitrogenous albumen, rich in mineral elements, and almost identical,

-chemically, with the lean or muscular tissue of beef.

-

-The process of bolting or refining takes from the wheat most of the

-phosphates and nitrates, the elements that are chiefly required for

-making nerves, muscles, bones, and brains. The phosphates and nitrates

-being removed by bolting, very little remains in the flour except

-the starchy carbonates, the heat and fat producing elements. The use

-of fine flour bread as a staple article of food introduces too much

-heat and fat-producing elements into the system, and where there is

-too much carbon or heating substance, it tends rather to provoke the

-system to unnatural and abnormal action, and instead of serving as an

-element to warm the body, its tendency is to burn or consume, heating

-and irritating all the organs, getting one into that state which is

-popularly known as “hot-blooded.” The fine white flour ordinarily

-used has two-thirds of the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment that God

-put in the wheat taken out. Unless these deficiencies are made up by

-some other foods, the exclusive use of fine flour bread will leave

-the nerves and bones poorly nourished, producing in some systems

-nervousness, dyspepsia, and all the physical ills that follow these

-diseases, together with impatience, fretfulness, and irritability. God

-intended that all the nutritive properties He put in the wheat should

-stay in it for purposes of symmetrical nourishment. Fine flour bread

-may be used for purposes of producing heat in the system, but it does

-not feed hungry nerves or starving bones.

-

-One reason why children fed chiefly on white bread feel hungry nearly

-all the time, and demand so much food between meals, is found in the

-fact that their bodies are insufficiently nourished. Their bones

-and nerves not receiving the nitrates and phosphates they need, are

-suffering from hunger.

-

-When children are fed with food that thoroughly nourishes their whole

-system, they will seldom desire to eat between meals and thus retard

-the process of digestion and lay the foundation for dyspepsia and all

-its kindred evils.

-

-Flour made of all the nutriment of pure white wheat, unbolted, yet

-without the shell or husk or bran, contains all the elements necessary

-for the nourishment of the body. The flour called Graham flour rarely

-contains these elements. There is a great deal of bogus stuff in the

-market, which has brought the genuine article into disrepute, and made

-many thoughtful people disgusted with everything in that line. Very

-much that is called Graham flour is made up of a mixture of fine bolted

-flour, and the woody fibre of the wheat, which has no nutriment in it

-at all. This wretched fabrication has tended to make all whole wheat

-products unpopular. The woody bran is worse than worthless as food,

-or to mix with food. You might as well eat the shells of nuts, or the

-husks of corn, or the skins of potatoes, as the silex coats of wheat.

-To overload the alimentary canal with such foreign indigestible matter

-has no other tendency but to weaken and debilitate it. Very few millers

-trouble themselves to make a perfect whole wheat flour. I know but one

-establishment in the world where wheat and other grains are treated

-precisely as they should be, with all the harmful part removed and the

-rest made digestible by harmless methods, and that is the Health Food

-Company of New York.[1]

-

-[1] See Appendix, page 30.

-

-Bread leavened, or unleavened, made out of what is called the Cold

-Blast Whole Wheat Flour, makes more muscle and furnishes more food for

-the nerves than any other article of food given to man except the pure

-gluten of wheat. I am not now advocating the views of the extremists,

-the Grahamites, neither do I counsel the disuse of fine flour bread.

-This latter should be used in connection with unbolted flour, but

-should not be relied on to furnish you with all the nutritious elements

-that your bodies need. There is a golden mean between the extremes

-of vegetarianism and exclusive flesh diet which the common sense of

-thoughtful people will find. During the warm season a diet made up

-chiefly of fruits, grains, and vegetables will be most healthful

-for body and soul. Instead of the scrofula-breeding pork or ham for

-breakfast, use some one of the great variety of grains, especially

-oat-meal, than which there are few better foods for growing children

-and hard working adults. Instead of fried cakes, rich pastry, and

-candies, use fruit, of which there is an abundant variety, ten-fold

-more nourishing than pies or cakes, and very cleansing to the blood.

-Let brown bread, Johnnie-cake, and corn-meal pudding supplant fine

-wheat bread as much as possible. Eat your meals regularly and slowly,

-eating nothing between them. Eat sparingly of meat at mid-day, and let

-it be good fresh beef, mutton, or fish, well cooked. Let the evening

-meal be taken not later than six o’clock. Discard tea and coffee, and

-make your own coffee with browned crusts of bread, or burned whole

-wheat.[2] Follow these suggestions and you will find very many of the

-ills of your body departing and very many of the troubles you have in

-behaving yourselves, vanishing.

-

-[2] The Health Food Company prepare a “Cereal Coffee” from Wheat Gluten

-and Barley, which not only makes a delicious beverage, but tends

-to greatly strengthen both body and brain. Those who would release

-themselves from the dangerous practice of tea-drinking, and the less

-injurious but still objectionable use of the commercial coffees, will

-do well to try this nutrient beverage.

-

-Again, we derange our bodies and demoralize our souls by eating too

-much. The great end of life with many of us is to eat. The American

-dining-room has become, for the most part, a place for the indulgence

-of animalism, and not for the development of the affections or social

-qualities. A distinguished American physician said: “I am sixty-six

-years old, and I have eaten enough food to answer my wants for 100

-years, and yet I am what most people call a small eater.” The popular

-habit of using, inordinately, appetizers in the shape of the ordinary

-table condiments, begets a false and unnatural appetite. The time comes

-when honest food palls upon the depraved senses. The pampered, jaded

-appetite no longer finds satisfaction in simple food-flavors; the

-palate must be prompted with pungent things. The cook, who is never a

-physiologist, responds to the demand for spurs to appetite, and finds

-them in mixtures of spices and peppers and mustards and acids and

-essential oils and chemicals, and multitudes of non-food substances.

-With these, and various biting alcohols, the delicate lining of the

-stomach is inflamed, inducing a desire for food which passes for what

-it is not, namely, honest appetite. The palate demands more food than

-the stomach can digest or the system assimilate. Poor nature, anxious

-to do the best she can, adapts herself to the unnatural situation,

-and forces all the other organs to do the same; and thus we become

-accustomed to over-eating and do not know it.

-

-That all who accustom themselves to a stimulating diet, to spices and

-wines and other irritating things, consume too much food, cannot, I

-think, be gainsayed. The amount and kind of food needed depends upon

-the individual habits and the kind of waste to be supplied. A wholly

-idle man should thrive well on cucumbers and water-melons, which are

-chiefly water; while the hard-working hod-carrier would demand several

-pounds of solid carbon and nitrogen daily. It is the sedentary, the

-well-to-do, the man of leisure, who suffers most from over-eating; and

-it behooves him to carefully avoid all goads and spurs to appetite.

-With the simplest flavors he is nearly certain to over-eat and thus to

-suffer. With an appetite stimulated and induced, without corresponding

-out-door labor to create a genuine need and demand for it, digestive

-failure and assimilative bankruptcy is only a question of time.

-

-The stomach, overloaded, performs its work imperfectly, and thus

-imposes on all the organs an extra amount of work, which breaks them

-down prematurely, causing diseases of every kind, such as nervous

-headache, sick headache, rush of blood to the head, apoplexy, sore

-eyes, deafness, erysipelas, neuralgia of the face, decayed teeth,

-catarrh, bronchitis, asthma, nausea, common colic, congestion of the

-liver, and a host of other diseases too unpleasant to mention. In some

-cases there is a disposition of too much fatty matter in the system;

-and many people suppose that fatness is a sign of healthfulness, which

-is false. No one needs any more fat on his body than is essential to

-form cushions for his tendons and muscles; if too much, there is a

-depletion of strength.

-

-The crowded and overloaded condition of the system makes the body take

-on very many false manifestations. The irritation produced in an

-overcharged system manifests itself in different forms in different

-individuals. In some it produces nervousness, making them rack the

-flesh off their bones and keeping them poor; and in others it produces

-sluggishness, retaining defunct matter in the system, making them

-corpulent. As I have said, our highly-seasoned foods create morbid and

-abnormal appetites.

-

-As a consequence we eat too much and too often, the system being borne

-down by overwork in its digestive department, there comes a demand for

-stimulating drinks and medicines to take off the depression and to keep

-up tone; and to make ourselves feel good, after having made ourselves

-feel bad, by improper eating, some of us resort to tea and coffee, and

-others to alcohol, and then the excitement produced demands a sedative,

-and some of us smoke and others chew a poisonous weed called tobacco.

-Thus the poor body, subject to these revulsions of unnatural action in

-overwork and stimulation and sedation, is goaded to abnormities and

-unnatural action, sending up to the soul no other influences but those

-which drive it to moral madness and vicious deeds.

-

-Now, vice is a morbid exhibition of the will. The will is represented

-through the physical organ, the brain, and the brain is straightway

-affected by the condition of the body and the state of the blood. The

-will is that power of the mind by which we put forth volitions and

-perform actions. If the pressure of bad blood is on the brain, that

-same pressure is on the will; hence a sick man or a diseased man will

-do a great many bad things through the power of bad blood on the will.

-Vice, then, is both the result and cause of physical derangement.

-Hence that vice of vices, drunkenness.

-

-Drunkenness may be caused by bad physical conditions, brought about

-by bad habits of eating. Would it not be well for us to look into

-bad table habits for one of the reasons why so many of our young men

-become drunkards? May there not be some cause working in the flesh

-of our youths, driving them to intemperance? May it not be possible

-that kind fathers and mothers for years have been filling up the awful

-gap of 40,000 dead drunkards annually by feeding their children upon

-stimulating, highly-seasoned, innutritious foods? There is no doubt

-in my mind that every man is a glutton before he is a drunkard. If

-nature’s laws are violated, a man’s sensations will be all abnormal,

-and the mainsprings of his life will be befouled, and the result

-will be irregular and vicious expressions of all the appetites, both

-for food and drink. I am, therefore, confident that the widespread

-appetite for intoxicating liquors is largely due to the false relations

-that the American people hold to their food. We cannot hope much

-from moral suasion and legal enactments so long as we overlook the

-physical condition of the drunkard. If you would cure disease or vice

-effectually, you must shut off that which nourishes them, instead of

-putting all your force in efforts to antidote them. “Let the wicked

-forsake his way,” and then turn unto the Lord, and he will have mercy

-on him, and to our God, and he will abundantly pardon him. There are

-200,000 drunkards in the United States, 40,000 of whom go annually to

-premature graves. There are 20,000 prostitutes, whose average life

-in their profession is four years. Do you believe this vast army of

-immortals go willingly to ruin? There are causes lying back of mere

-perversities of soul in the common every-day dietetic habits of these

-forlorn ones.

-

-Eating and drinking are always associated with the bar and brothel,

-and if you will take notice, the eating is always of that kind of

-food which goes straight for the animal nature, and wakes up in a man

-everything that is beastly.

-

-The whole tendency of the food furnished at the popular bar-room

-restaurant is to stir the baser elements in humanity and keep up the

-demand for alcoholic stimulants. No wonder the drinking saloons can

-afford to give what they call a “free lunch.” Care is taken to furnish

-such food as fires the appetite for strong drink, and the rum-seller

-gets his pay for his “free lunch” through the sale of the whisky that

-must inevitably follow it. Those who, living on highly stimulating

-foods, but do not drink strong drinks, will find that the bias of their

-bodily powers, instead of being toward mental and spiritual spheres,

-will be toward animal indulgences, dragging the mind and soul into

-servitude to the flesh, and where there are any moral aspirations,

-making the conflict between the higher and lower nature so intense that

-a vast amount of moral force is wasted in self-conflict that ought to

-go into the world’s redemptive agencies for saving the lost.

-

-I am confident that the American habit of eating sumptuous and late

-suppers, whether at our homes or church fairs or festivals, is damaging

-the physical, mental, and moral health of our nation more than any

-other one thing of its kind; more damaging, because it has the

-appearance of innocency, and the sanction of our fathers and mothers

-and some of our pastors.

-

-Furthermore, the habit of eating hurriedly, or hastily, is preying

-upon the vital and moral forces of many of us. A meal eaten hastily or

-nervously, under the pressure of intense mental activity or nervous

-tension, or great weariness, begins its work of nutrition under the

-greatest possible disadvantage. All our meals should be eaten calmly

-and deliberately, so as to thoroughly masticate the food, and not

-impose on the stomach and viscera the legitimate work of the teeth.

-In the interest of health to soul as well as body I enter an earnest

-plea for more time for eating, and especially at noon, when most hard

-working people take their principal meal. Clerks, business men, and

-school teachers, mechanics, laborers, and our children who attend the

-public schools, need more time at noon to properly dispose of the chief

-meal of the day. No better investment could be made to secure the best

-possible physical, intellectual, financial, and moral returns than for

-all classes of people to take two hours at mid-day for resting and

-eating dinner. Selfish greed demands otherwise, and makes a show of

-gain; but the loss is sure to come in due time to all parties concerned.

-

-My friends, when will we fast-living, fast-eating, fast-working, and

-fast-dying Americans learn the great lesson, that life is a unit,

-that the Divine Trinity in us, namely, the physical, intellectual,

-and spiritual, is one life, with different phases of expression; and

-whatever mars one mars the whole, and whatever builds up one most

-surely builds up the others? All our powers are many members in one

-body, with an inter-dependence which is eternal. Slight your body,

-and you smite your soul and enervate the mind. Corrupt the mind, and

-you debase both body and soul. When will those who profess to be God’s

-children by the adoption of the Holy Ghost, catch the Spirit of His

-great Apostle Paul, who, more than any other sacred writer, maintained

-the sanctity of the human body and its subservience to the mind and

-soul. Hear him: “I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God that

-ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,

-which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world,

-but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may prove

-what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” I admit the

-power of the Holy Ghost in the work of regeneration, but is there not

-something for us to do, in keeping our bodies under, “lest we become

-cast-aways?” I do not say that _all_ human evils and ills have their

-primary origin in physical habits, but I do say that the great mass

-of impulsions from the excited, inflamed, over-stimulated body toward

-the soul, are in the interests of sin. The economy of salvation orders

-otherwise. By the Gospel the body may become the temple of the Holy

-Ghost. By the law of self-denial of the New Testament, our bodies, with

-all their fiery elements, may be made an inspiration to our souls.

-It is not the purpose of God that a life-time warfare shall be kept

-up between the body and the soul. There ought to come to every true

-Christian a day of final victory over his bodily powers, in which they

-will cease their rebellion, and come into the sweetest union with the

-soul in its great work of developing a likeness to Christ.

-

-Why are we called upon to present the body a living sacrifice to God,

-if its powers are not to be sanctified to holy purposes? Why should we

-spend all our life waiting for the adoption of our whole nature, to

-wit, the redemption of the body, as well as the soul.

-

-Our fondest dreams for the progress of humanity must be based in a

-newly created body by strict obedience to the laws of God, written on

-every fibre, tissue, muscle, and bone. We cannot develop the human

-brain and heart to the possibilities that God has put in them, while

-they are the tenants of bodies the laws of which are violated in the

-commonest habits of every-day life.

-

-Regeneration does a mighty work for us; but generation has also much

-to do with our highest and best development. The sins of the fathers

-must cease, so that the sons may be spared their terrible visitations;

-the accumulated virtues of parents must roll over on their children in

-purer, stronger, and better bodies until by a blessed economy the whole

-race shall be exalted to heirship with Christ through loving obedience

-to all the laws of physical as well as moral life.

-

-Why may we not now, under the laws of redemption, begin to build a new

-heaven and a new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our souls are

-redeemed and renewed by obedience and faith, why not secure also the

-redemption of our bodies? I know it is slow work to teach the subtle

-but mighty elements of self-restraint. I know the flesh lusteth against

-the spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the victory through our Lord

-Jesus Christ.

-

-

-In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler & Wells for the

-manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall far short of

-my duty if I did not allude more particularly than seemed appropriate

-in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work which is being done by the

-Health Food Company, and to the great excellence of its products. If

-these remarks were addressed to physicians, the simple mention of the

-name of the company would suffice, because there are probably very

-few medical men and women who are not aware of the good work of this

-organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for invalids of

-every type, as well as for such as are in health and are solicitous

-thus to continue. The work of the company has, from the beginning,

-been under the wise direction of a scientific head, himself an

-original investigator, and having an ample acquaintance with all the

-truths which have been evolved by modern scientific research. While

-it is very important that physicians should know all that is to be

-known concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large

-opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world may not

-go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the vast body of

-intelligent readers and church-goers should be made aware of the fact

-that in the matter of food and its preparation there are laws which

-are not comprehended by ignorant cooks, which may not be violated with

-impunity, the scope and importance of which are being more perfectly

-understood from year to year, and which, in their practical application

-by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand work in

-the up-building and re-building of human bodies and brains. Especially

-am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many of whom, I am

-persuaded, suffer from unsupplied waste of brain and nerve power—should

-more fully appreciate the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues

-of the body may be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may

-nearly or quite fail to supply or replenish the waste of the delicate

-brain and nervous system; and should understand how the best foods for

-the active brain-worker can be procured.

-

-A dyspeptic myself, a member of a dyspeptic family, and observing

-much of that kind of misery and weakness which arises from digestive

-feebleness, I have been compelled to study the subject of food in its

-relation to bodily and mental and moral well-being, during many years;

-and it is not less a pleasure than a duty to say that an intimate

-acquaintance with the researches of the Health Food Co. and its

-products, has convinced me that this organization is the center and

-source of the best information obtainable in any land, on the subject

-of dietetics; that the food which it prepares from many substances,

-especially from the cereal grains, are the best in the world; and that

-all who seek to live wisely and well, all who are strong and would

-continue so, all who are feeble and would fain be strong, all in whom

-the spirit to lead noble and useful lives is willing, but in whom the

-flesh, alas! is weak—owe it to themselves and to all whom they have

-power to influence, to learn all that can be learned concerning the

-great work of this company. In this brief Appendix it is not possible

-to allude, even remotely, to all its investigations in the domain of

-dietetics, nor to fully indicate the valuable results which it has

-achieved. I shall be justified, however, in referring to a few of its

-more prominent applications of scientific thought to the daily needs of

-humanity.

-

-It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by whatever “new

-process,” or under whatever brand, was a robbed, impoverished food,

-and that attached to the bran or husk—which is excluded as it should

-be—there is a layer of nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows

-and horses. It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should

-be deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this

-wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which there is

-no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised a method of

-removing all the woody, branny, siliceous coats from the grain without

-wasting one atom of the nutriment. Seeing that ordinary mill-stone

-grinding tended to heat and impair the flour, it devised other and

-better methods of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole

-wheat flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called

-“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with nothing

-taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious addition of

-grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the woody fibre and silex

-which form the protecting, innutritious shell. Thus the theories of

-the value of bread from the entire wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John

-C. Warren, of Boston, in 1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester

-Graham, were taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained

-in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth really

-existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved by exact

-experiments and by scientific methods, has at length been made of

-real value to the human race instead of continuing to be a source

-of possible, and often of positive injury, by virtue of the errors

-originally attending it. The perfect, branless flour of the entire

-grain is called the COLD BLAST WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, and is, beyond

-question, the most perfect bread-food in the world.

-

-Again, chemistry long ago proved that the nitrogenous, albuminous

-element of the great food staples (the cereal grains) known as GLUTEN,

-was the chief source of muscular tissue in animals, whether obtained

-from grasses, seeds, or other vegetable substances; that it could be

-digested in a mixture of 1 part gastric juice and 10 parts water; that

-it could be separated from its universal attendant, starch, by washing;

-and that a kind of tasteless, insipid bread could then be made from

-it, which was understood to be useful in a disease called diabetes.

-Up to a few years ago these facts comprised pretty much all that the

-scientific world knew about GLUTEN. It was known to exist; Koopman,

-the German chemist, had shown it to be readily digestible; and it was

-non-convertible into sugar, and therefore a safe food for those to whom

-starch, or the sugar which results from digested starch, is little

-less than poison. These slender facts were not sufficient to satisfy

-the accurate investigator at the head of the Health Food Co. He deemed

-it probable that this easily digested GLUTEN, this source of all the

-tissues of the ox except the fatty ones, would be found to be of vast

-value as a separate food for human beings, if while being practically

-isolated from the starch and bran associates which nature provides,

-it could still retain the pleasant grainy flavor of the cereal which

-supplies it. He began a series of investigations to determine the

-source of the agreeable flavor existing in sound wheat, and—as modified

-by milling and cooking—in commercial wheat flour and the foods prepared

-therefrom. The results of the researches of Prof. Henry B. Hill,

-of Harvard University, and of those contemporaneously conducted by

-Adolph Baeyer, of Munich, led him to conclude that to the oil known as

-“furfurol,” existing in the exterior bran and interior cellulose of the

-grain, the flour and bread chiefly owed their desirable flavors. The

-cellulose of the interior of the wheat was found to contain enough of

-the flavoring oil to impart to the insipid gluten an agreeable taste.

-Accordingly, methods were devised for separating the gluten and the

-cellulose from most of the starch, these three elements alone remaining

-after the bran coats were peeled off.

-

-This “whole wheat gluten,” as it is termed by the company, has proved

-a most valuable food, not only for the diabetic, to whom it seems to

-present the chief hope of recovery, but to the dyspeptic and feeble,

-whether in brain or body. Its use has been attended with such signally

-successful results as to attract the attention of large numbers of

-prominent medical men, among whom I may mention Prof. Austin Flint, of

-Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York city, who passes upon it a

-warm encomium in his last great volume. [See Flint’s Clinical Medicine,

-pp. 452-53.]

-

-If I did not feel quite certain that the vast majority of those who

-shall peruse this paragraph would seek from the Health Food Company, or

-from some of its many agents in various parts of the country, the very

-able and interesting pamphlets which it mails free to all applicants,

-I should deem it my duty to allude to other and not less valuable

-applications of scientific thought to the vast problems involved in

-the preparation of foods for humanity, from infancy to old age. To

-adequately describe them all, would require a volume; let me content

-myself with an allusion to one or two of the many.

-

-There is a digestive element existing in the saliva and in the fluid

-called the “pancreatic juice,” which bears the name of “diastase.” This

-diastase exists nowhere outside of the animal economy, except in seeds

-during the process of germination, or sprouting. When the seed, or

-cereal, or vegetable, is exposed to proper influences of moisture and

-warmth, such, for example, as are supplied by the earth in spring-time,

-the process of germination begins, and from the germ diastase is

-liberated. The function of the diastase thus set free is the conversion

-of the food elements in the seed into assimilative nutriment for the

-young and tender plant. It is the digestant of food, whether the

-thing fed be plant or animal. Now, while physiologists have long been

-ready to concede that when, as is common in diseased conditions, this

-important digestant is absent from the saliva and pancreatic juice,

-the conversion of all starchy foods is suspended, it has not been

-supposed that diastase has any marked influence upon the emulsification

-and digestion of food-substances not containing starch, nor had any

-food-chemist availed himself of the diastase in cereals, if I except

-the development and possible subsequent retention, to some extent, of

-diastase in some of the preparations of malt. The Health Food Company

-develops and employs the cereal diastase in a most effective way. It

-removes the germinal molecules from wheat and barley, reduces them to

-powder, forms the powder into a dough, encloses it in a steam-tight

-vessel and subjects the vessel and contents for a protracted period to

-a temperature of 150ºF. The latent diastase is thus brought into being,

-while the low temperature and the close vessel completely prevent its

-volatilization and loss. The diastatic dough is subsequently dried and

-powdered, and is then packed and labeled, ready for use, demanding no

-cooking, and no other preparation than simple moistening with milk

-or water. Used with milk it is found to prevent that tough and curdy

-coagulation which renders milk so oppressive, “bilious” and indigestible

-in many cases. The name given to this diastatic food which I have

-mentioned, is “The Universal Food,” a name suggested by a leading

-physician, who believed it to be universally applicable to enfeebled

-conditions in which better nourishment was needed. It is admirably

-adapted to the nourishment of infants, as diastase is almost entirely

-lacking during the first years of life, and may wisely be supplied from

-exterior sources.

-

-The Company’s great work for the multitude, however, is in the

-preparation of wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas, beans, and other

-seeds. These are perfectly cleansed from all impurities, the outer

-bran-coats, husks, and pellicles are removed, and the interior,

-soluble, digestible food-portion is admirably prepared for ready

-cooking. Persons who have a distaste for Graham and crushed wheat, and

-oat-meal and other cereals, find in the Fine Granulated Wheat, the

-Coarse Granulated Wheat, the Pearled Wheat, Pearled Oats, Granulated

-Oats, Granulated Barley, Rye, Corn, etc., manufactured by this Company,

-delicious foods, which, once adopted, are continued from choice.

-

-I leave this important subject with my readers, again urging them

-to seek to learn more concerning it. To be placed in possession of

-information which I do not assume to be competent to impart, it is only

-necessary that you address a postal card to the Health Food Company,

-No. 74 Fourth Ave., cor. 10th street, New York, N. Y., asking for all

-its Health Food literature, and appending your address, and you will be

-quite certain to receive the entertaining pamphlets by due course of

-mail. The agents of the company, also, cordially respond to calls for

-circulars and orders for the Health Foods.

-

-

-Let me ask my readers not to content themselves with sending for and

-perusing, however carefully, the instructive pamphlets of the Health

-Food Company. If you are sick you will do well to describe your

-condition by letter to the company, and its medical head will write

-you which of the foods are adapted to your case; you can then order a

-supply of such as he advises. If you are in good health and merely seek

-to supply yourself with delicate and nutritive substances which will

-have the effect to keep you strong and well, you will be able to select

-from their list, without special advice. Advice from the medical man

-of the organization costs nothing, however, and should be asked in all

-doubtful or diseased states. J. F. C.

-AN UNSOLICITED LETTER FROM A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN OF NEW YORK.

-

-“_To The Health Food Company, 74 4th Avenue, New York._

-

-  GENTLEMEN:—

-

-I should like to state to your Company the great success I have had

-in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the advisability of letting

-the medical profession generally know of this simple and efficacious

-remedy for constipation. I have prescribed these Suppositories almost

-daily in my practice this winter, and have often been astonished at the

-permanent results obtained. It seems that in great torpor of the rectum

-and descending colon it is especially useful.

-

-I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation was so

-great that very often—much against my will—I was forced to administer

-a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use of these Gluten Suppositories she

-has remained well—over six months. It does not cure _all_ cases, but in

-all the instances where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some

-benefit has been derived.

-

-You may utilize this endorsement if it will make this remedy more

-widely known among the profession.

-

-  Respectfully,

-  J. MONTFORT SCHLEY, M. D.,”

-

-  THE HEALTH FOOD COMPANY OF NEW YORK

-

-

-Is now in the twelfth year of its existence. Its valuable and important

-work has been recognized and commended by thousands of physicians, by

-many writers for the medical and general press, and by multitudes of

-the sick and suffering who have found health and comfort through its

-products. It has had many imitators, but it has conscientiously adhered

-to its original mission of preparing

-

-

-Perfect Foods for Sick and Well.

-

-Basing its work upon exact science, and being presided over by a

-scientific man, it has gained the support and co-operation of the

-scientific world. A year or two since, a competitor in the manufacture

-of a single article, known as “Whole Wheat Flour,” secured the

-publication of an article from the pen of a Dr. Ephraim Cutter—styling

-himself “a microscopist”—in which he asserted his ability to determine

-the relative percentages of gluten and starch by the use of the

-microscope alone. He furthermore said that while the food-value of

-a bread-flour depended upon its percentage of gluten, the various

-flours of the Health Food Company contained no gluten whatever; and

-that the flour made by the “Franklin Mills” (Dr. Cutter’s employer)

-was so rich in gluten as to make it “a blessing to mankind.” These

-grossly absurd statements called forth some very scathing criticisms

-and much ridicule by the medical and secular press, and induced Prof.

-R. H. Thurston, of the Stevens Institute of Technology—who had derived

-benefit from the Health Foods—to invite his colleague, Prof. Albert

-N. Leeds, Public Analyst for the State of New Jersey and Professor of

-Chemistry in the Stevens Institute, to microscopically examine and

-chemically analyze the food substances alluded to, for the purpose of

-determining the accuracy or inaccuracy of Cutter’s statements, and,

-furthermore, to settle the question of the value of the “microscopic

-analysis,” for which so much had been claimed by Cutter. Prof. Leeds’

-careful work conclusively showed that the microscope was _valuable to

-detect adulterations_, but valueless as a means of determining the

-percentages of the various natural constituents of a cereal flour;

-so he proceeded to apply the crucial test of chemical analysis, with

-striking results. (In our limited space we can only briefly quote from

-the Professor’s published statement, but we are assured that he will

-cheerfully mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one who shall address

-him at the College named, situated in Hoboken, New Jersey.) Premising

-that wheat in its natural state contains, on the average, about 12

-per cent. of albuminoids—chiefly gluten—he found in the Health Food

-Company’s Whole Wheat Flour 16.74 per cent. of this substance. Of the

-“Franklin Mills” flour, said to be made from “entire wheat,” he writes:

-“It contains 8.55 per cent. of albuminoids, chiefly gluten, together

-with a very large percentage of cellulose or finely-ground bran. It is

-greatly lacking in nutritive elements.”

-

-Prof. Leeds testifies that the Glutens prepared by the Health Food

-Company are richer in the gluten element than any which he has been

-able to obtain, whether of American or foreign origin, and more than

-twice as rich as a so-called gluten made by Farwell & Rhines, of

-Rochester. He also finds by analysis that “Robinson’s Prepared Barley

-Flour” contains only 5.13 per cent. of albuminoids, while the Health

-Food Company’s barley flour, retailing for less than one-eighth as

-much, contains 13.83 per cent., showing it to be nearly three times

-as rich in substantial nutriment. The flours and foods of the Health

-Food Company are nourishing in health and remedial in sickness. Their

-good work is in the improvement of the blood-making processes, in

-better digestion, in increased nutrition. It is their function to ably

-supplement all such remedial measures as skill and science may suggest.

-Many physicians have testified to the increased readiness of diseases

-to yield to their treatment when the patients have been sustained by

-the bland, soluble, non-irritating, nourishing nutriments prepared by

-the Health Food Company. Its products still stand at the head of the

-long list of food-preparations for infants and invalids, for the sick

-who seek to recover health and strength, for the strong who desire to

-remain strong. It has elevated food and its preparation to the dignity

-of a science, and has sought to render itself wholly worthy of the warm

-encomiums so ably pronounced by scholars, physicians, and scientists,

-conspicuous among whom stand the Rev. John F. Clymer and Prof. Austin

-Flint.

-HYGIENIC COOKERY.

-

-By SUSANNA W. DODDS, M.D.

-

-One large 12mo vol., 600 pp., extra cloth or oil-cloth, Price, $2.00.

-

-

-The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she

-is both a physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably

-the best work ever written on the healthful preparation of food, and

-should be in the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare

-food healthfully and palatably. The best way and the reason why are

-given. It is complete in every department. To show something of what is

-thought of this work, we copy a few brief extracts from the many

-

-

-NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

-

- “This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome

- food, and gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that

- will make luxuries for the palate out of many simple productions of

- Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”—_Home Journal._

-

- “Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the

- equal in all respects, and superior to many of its predecessors.

- Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with all

- the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an ample

- household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs.

- Dodds’ book, material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen

- administration.”—_N. Y. Star._

-

- “The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to

- those who will intelligently appreciate the author’s stand-point.

- And there are but few who will not concede that it would be a public

- benefit if our people generally would become better informed as to the

- better mode of living than the author intends.”—_Scientific American._

-

- “She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is

- eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes

- for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is an educator of how to make

- the home the abode of healthful people.”—_The Daily Inter-Ocean_,

- Chicago, Ill.

-

- “The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every

- well-regulated cuisine.”—_Indianapolis Journal._

-

- “As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery,

- there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings the

- subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an average

- housekeeper.”—_Methodist Recorder._

-

- “In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically,

- and yet has made her instructions entirely practical. The book

- will certainly prove useful, and if its precepts could be

- universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably

- lengthened.”—_Springfield Union._

-

- “Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It

- seems to be a very sensible addition to the voluminous literature on

- this subject, which ordinarily has little reference to the hygienic

- character of the preparations which are described.”—_Zion’s Herald._

-

- “This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while yet

- based upon scientific principles—in short, the best. If it were in

- every household, there would be far less misery in the world.”—_South

- and West._

-

- “There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of occasion

- for attacking the ordinary methods of cooking, as well as the common

- style of diet.”—_Morning Star._

-

- “She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and devotes the

- larger portion of the work to those articles essential to good blood,

- strong bodies, and vigorous minds.”—_New Haven Register._

-

-

-The work will be sent to any address, by mail, post-paid, on receipt of

-price, $2.00. AGENTS WANTED, to whom special terms will be given. Send

-

-

-Healthful and Palatable.

-

-

-The most important question with all interested and intelligent

-housekeepers should be “What can I prepare for my table that will be

-HEALTHFUL and PALATABLE?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt

-Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention is given to

-the health and strength giving qualities of the dishes described, and

-a large part of the directions are useless (for never followed) and in

-many cases harmful (if tried).

-

-What is needed is a practical work in which these conditions are

-carefully considered and one which is simple enough to be easily

-understood.

-

-A recent publication, HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD, by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a

-lady physician and a practical housekeeper, covers this ground very

-fully and can be recommended. It considers the value of the different

-food products, the best methods of preparation, and the reason why.

-

- The Chicago _Inter-Ocean_ says: “She evidently knows what she is

- writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It

- is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;

- it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful

- people.”

-

- “She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and

- devotes the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to

- good blood, strong bodies, and vigorous minds,” says _The New Haven

- Register_.

-

-Housekeepers who consult this will be able to provide for the household

-that which will positively please and increase the happiness by

-increasing the healthful conditions.

-

-A FEW OF THE MANY NOTES FROM READERS.

-

-J. RUSS, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the

-colds question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the

-book—it is, in fact, invaluable, going to the very root of the question

-of sickness.” Mrs. W. O. THOMPSON, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N.

-Y., says: “I wish every friend I have could read it, and, only that

-hygienists never harbor ill-feeling, that my enemies might not chance

-to find it. I owe much to the truths made clear in ‘Natural Cure,’ and

-it is certain that to it and the professional attendance of the author,

-my sister-in-law owes her life and present robust health.”

-

-FROM A TEACHER.

-

-Mrs. S. S. GAGE, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y., says:

-“My friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to

-me. Thanks to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more;

-I am better in every way. I never could accomplish so much and with

-so little fatigue; and I am sure that all my intellectual work is of

-better quality than it ever was before.”

-

-FROM A HUSBAND.

-

-D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in

-‘Natural Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent

-intervals for forty years, return no more. Formerly I could not work

-for three days at a time, now I work right along. For this, as well as

-for the restoration of my wife to health, after we had given her up as

-fatally sick, I have to thank Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”

-

-FROM THE WIFE.

-

-Mrs. S. E. D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H. says: “I can not well express

-my gratitude for the benefit I have received from the book and its

-author’s personal counsel. Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly

-wonderful how the power of resting is increased under the influence of

-the regimen prescribed. I have distributed many copies of this book,

-and have known of a _life-long asthmatic cured, biliousness removed,

-perennial hay-fever banished_ for good, and other wonderful changes

-wrought, by means of the regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A friend

-remarked: ‘It is full of encouragement for those who wish to live in

-clean bodies.’ Another said: ‘It has proved to me that I have been

-committing slow suicide.’ Our minister says: ‘I have modified my diet

-and feel like a new man.’” To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s

-first book, “HOW TO FEED THE BABY”: “I have known of a number of babes

-changed from colicky, fretful children to happy well ones, making them

-a delight to their parents, by following its advice.”

-

-WILLIAM C. LANGLEY, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited

-from reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from

-inherited feebleness, or, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the

-need of making the most of their limited powers. I may add, that this

-work bears evidence that the author has had wide range, and extensive

-reading, together with a natural fitness for physiological and hygienic

-research, keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”

-

-Mrs. Dr. DENSMORE, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge

-of my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it

-of the publishers by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”

-

-THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY for September, 1883, speaks highly of the

-work, closing with, “the public has in this work a most valuable manual

-of hygiene.”

-

-THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for August, 1883, says: “It is an effort at

-impressing common-sense views of preserving and restoring health.”

-A STORY WORTH READING.

-

-ABOUT HUMAN NATURE.

-

-

-[Illustration: THE LABYRINTH (the inner ear)]

-

-We have recently published a volume containing a story of Human Nature

-which will be found of interest. It is called “The MAN WONDERFUL in

-the HOUSE BEAUTIFUL,” and is an allegory, teaching the principles of

-Physiology and Hygiene, and the effects of Stimulants and Narcotics.

-The House is the Body, in which the Foundations are the Bones, the

-Walls are Muscles, the Skin and Hair the Siding and Shingles, the

-head an Observatory in which are found a pair of Telescopes, and

-radiating from it are the nerves which are compared to a Telegraph,

-while communications are kept up with the Kitchen, Dining-room,

-Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is heated with a Furnace. There are

-also Mysterious Chambers, and the whole is protected by a Burglar

-Alarm. In studying the inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we

-learn of his growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he

-introduces. He finds that some of them are friends, others are doubtful

-acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this form, we ascertain

-the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and Stimulants.

-

-It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children will

-lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the Laws of

-Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten. The book will

-prove of great interest even to adults and those familiar with the

-subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A. Allen, are both regular

-physicians, and therefore the work is accurate and on a scientific

-basis. “Science in Story” has never been presented in a more attractive

-form. It is universally admitted that a large proportion of sickness

-comes from violations of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it

-is important that this subject should be understood by all, as in this

-way we may become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease.

-The reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It will

-be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is only

-$1.50. Address

-“WHAT THEY SAY”—NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

-

-We give a few of the favorable notices which this work has received:

-

-

- It possesses the most practical utility of any of the author’s works,

- and is well adapted to give the reader an accurate idea of the

- organization and functions of the human frame.—_New York Tribune._

-

- The work is admirably simple, clear, and full, and no popular work

- that we ever saw had half its claims to notice. We hope it may have a

- wide circulation. Its mission is a most important one. It lies at the

- foundation of all other missions of reform. Let the world be informed

- in regard to the laws of health, and every other reform will have

- its way cleared. Till then, every effort for moral and intellectual

- improvement can be only partially and feebly effective.—_Boston

- Ledger._

-

- Without the fear of our family physician before our eyes, we say

- that this is a very good book to have in families. It contains much

- valuable instruction in the art of preserving and restoring health,

- which every man of common sense, who understands anything about the

- human frame, will see at once is, and must be, sound and reliable.

- It might, almost any day, be the means of saving a valuable life. We

- are honestly of the conviction that every household in the land would

- lessen its complaints and doctor’s bills, if they would read it and

- follow its suggestions.—_Boston Congregationalist._

-

- The different cases upon which it treats number over _nine hundred_ in

- each of which the symptoms, the cause, and the _manner of treatment

- are given in full_.—_Clinton Tribune._

-

- There is not a subject relating to health but what it treats upon, in

- an able manner.—_Howard Gazette._

-

- Its 516 pages abound with thousands of facts and suggestions of the

- _highest importance to all_.—_Christian Inquirer._

-

- It is the best work of the kind we have ever seen upon the subject,

- and ought to be _in every family_.—_Advertiser._

-

- It is very elaborate, and is one of the very best of medical works.

- Every family should have a copy.—_Star of the West._

-

- It is worth its weight in gold.—_Ellsworth Herald._

-

- We know of no book comparable to this as THE BOOK for a

- family.—_Columbia Democrat._

-

- It is a very able and excellent work, and one which we can heartily

- recommend to every family; it is everything that its name purports to

- be.—_Scientific American._

-

- It is a very comprehensive, valuable work, and cannot fail to exert a

- salutary effect upon the public mind.—_Baltimore Sun._

-

- We have no hesitancy in pronouncing it _a very useful book_, and one

- which should be in the possession of _every family_.—_Beaver Dam

- Republican._

-

- Familiarity with its contents will save many dollars’ worth of drugs,

- and avert many weary days and months of sickness.—_Musical World._

-

- The work embodies _a vast amount_ of information in regard to the

- structure and diseases of the human frame, which will be read with

- profit.—_N. England Farmer._

-

- Not only are diseases described, and the appropriate treatment pointed

- out, but numerous examples are given, which cannot fail to interest

- the reader, and prove a _very acceptable family directory_.—_Boston

- Traveler._

-

- It is exceedingly comprehensive, and well illustrated. It contains

- a great deal of information and sound advice, which every reader,

- whatever his views on medicine, would consider valuable.—_New York

- Courier._

-

- A complete encyclopædia of every disease to which the human family is

- heir, _with the cure for each disease_.—_Day Book._

-

-

-The authors state in their preface: “In preparing this volume it has

-been the aim to meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise which

-not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental

-and Physiology, as those sciences are represented today by standard

-authority.” [Illustration: Phrenological Head]

-

-Notices of the Press.

-

-Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed at. The scientific researches

-of the last twenty years have demonstrated the fearful and wonderful

-complication of matter, not only with mind, but with what we call moral

-qualities. Thereby, we believe, the divine origin of “our frame” has

-been newly illustrated, and the Scriptural psychology confirmed: and

-in the Phrenological Chart we are disposed to find a species of “urim

-and thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s will concerning us, at

-least His revelation of essential character. One thing is certain,

-that the discoveries of physical science must ere long force all men

-to the single alternative of Calvinism or Atheism. When they see that

-God has written himself sovereign, absolute, and predestinating, on

-the records of His creation, they will be ready to find His writing

-as clearly in the Word; and the analogical argument, meeting the

-difficulties and the objections on the side of Faith by those admitted

-as existing on the side of Sight, will avail as well in one case as

-in the other. We will only add, the above work is, without doubt, the

-best popular presentation of the science which has yet been made. It

-confines itself strictly to facts, and is not written in the interest

-of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its copious

-illustrations, pictorial and narrative, and the whole is brought down

-to the latest information on this curious and suggestive department of

-knowledge.—_Christian Intelligencer._

-

-As far as a comprehensive view of the teachings of Combe can be

-embodied into a system that the popular mind can understand, this book

-is as satisfactory an exposition of its kind as has yet been published.

-The definitions are clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—_Philadelphia

-Enquirer._

-

-

-In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds

-with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the

-work constitutes by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and

-is adapted to both private and class study.

-

-The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most

-part from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and

-great pains have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance

-of the text in each case. For the student of human nature and character

-the work is of the highest value.

-

-HUMAN-NATURE.

-

-

-If you want something to read that will interest you more thoroughly

-than any book you have ever read, send for a copy of HEADS AND FACES,

-a new Manual of Character Reading for the people. It will show you

-how to read people as you would a book, and see if they are inclined

-to be good, upright, honest, true, kind, charitable, loving, joyous,

-happy and trustworthy people, such as you would like to know; or are

-they by nature untrustworthy, treacherous and cruel, uncharitable and

-hard-hearted, fault-finding, jealous, domineering people whom you would

-not want to have intimate with yourselves or your families.

-

-A knowledge of Human-Nature will enable you to judge of all this at

-sight, and to choose for yourselves and children such companions as

-will tend to make you and them better, purer, more noble and ambitious

-to do and to be right, and would save many disappointments in social

-and business relations. It will aid in choosing and governing servants,

-training children, and deciding whom to trust in all the affairs of

-life. If you would know people without waiting to become acquainted

-with them, read HEAD AND FACES and How to Study Them, a new manual

-of Character Reading, by Prof. Nelson Sizer, the Examiner in the

-phrenological office of Fowler & Wells Co., New York, and H. S.

-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will

-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project

-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure

-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

-Literary Archive Foundation

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide

-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of

-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be

-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest

-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations

-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt

-status with the IRS.

-

-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a

-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up

-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations

-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND

-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular

-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

-

-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we

-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition

-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who

-approach us with offers to donate.

-

-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from

-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

-

-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation

-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other

-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To

-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

-

-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be

-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and

-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of

-volunteer support.

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed

-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in

-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not

-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper

-edition.

-

-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search

-facility: www.gutenberg.org

-

-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+     [_From_ REV. DR. DEEMS, _Church of the Strangers, New York_.]
+
+MESSRS. FOWLER & WELLS:
+
+_Gentlemen_:—I have read with great interest a sermon by Rev. Mr.
+Clymer, of Auburn, on “The Relation of Food to Morals,” as it appeared
+in the Auburn _Daily Advertiser_ of June 20th, 1880. Certainly
+everything stands related to morals; and all men, women, and children
+should be made to see and feel this.
+
+I suppose I am considered an old-fashioned preacher. I believe in
+“original sin,” and I believe in a great deal of sin that is not
+original. I believe that every man is so corrupt that he can never be
+made pure without supernatural influence; and I believe that he must
+take advantage, at the same time, of all the natural helps. Even the
+grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot make the saint who is in the
+flesh, feel alert and happy, so long as he has any serious obstruction
+of the biliary duct. When I was a younger pastor in a Southern city, I
+was called by a mother to see her daughter, a girl of eighteen, who was
+in a dreadful way, inconsolably laboring under the oppressive feeling
+that there was no mercy for her. I prescribed for her torpid liver as
+my knowledge of the healing art enabled me to do, promising to call
+again soon. When I did call, the young lady was relieved, and I was
+able to secure her attention to the comfortable truths of our most
+holy faith. It is first the natural, and then the spiritual; St. Paul,
+1 Cor. xv. 46: “Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but
+that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.” We must
+always feel our dependence on the spirit of God for our regeneration
+and sanctification, but not in such a way as to make fools of us. The
+man whose faith in the supernatural makes him depreciate the natural,
+has no more sense than he whose faith in the natural utterly excludes
+super-nature.
+
+I think you would do a good work to issue Mr. Clymer’s discourse as one
+of a series of tracts proclaiming the gospel of hygiene. Will you not
+do it?
+
+  With kindest regards, yours truly,
+  CHARLES F. DEEMS.
+
+  NEW YORK, February 1, 1881.
+
+                              ――――――――――
+
+  REV. DR. DEEMS:
+
+_Dear Sir_: Yours of February 1 received, and contents noted. Thanks
+for your suggestion. Yes; we will do it. We will publish Mr. Clymer’s
+sermon in so cheap a pamphlet form that we can give it an almost
+universal circulation.
+
+We do this because we believe with you most fully in the gospel of
+hygiene.
+
+  Yours very truly,
+  FOWLER & WELLS.

+

+ have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, then shall his father
+ and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of
+ his city, and unto the gates of his place; and they shall say unto the
+ elders of his city: _This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will
+ not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard._”—DEUT. xxi. 18-20.
+
+
+We have had much teaching that has left the impression on our minds
+that the soul is the _only_ source and seat of all the vice in human
+life. Because it is written “The imaginations of the thoughts of the
+natural heart, are only evil continually,” total depravity has been
+fixed on the spirit nature of man; that is, all the bad or immoral
+elements entering into human life have been attributed to the innate
+or inborn ugliness of the soul. Accepting the Scriptural truth that
+“the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” we have come to think that sin
+has its _center_, _seat_, _source and circumference_ in the soul, or
+the immaterial nature of man. Hence we readily admit the fact that
+influences, good or bad, may pass over from the soul to the body, but
+we do not so readily admit that _other_ fact, equally true, that
+influence good or bad may go over from the _body_ to the soul. The road
+over which vicious thoughts and lustful imaginations pass from the soul
+to the body is the highway over which unbridled appetites, unrestrained
+passions and unsubdued lusts in the body may go to the soul, goading
+it to the wildest conceptions of vice and lecherous imaginations. The
+warm rays of the sun may gender rottenness in the muddy pool; so also
+will the effluvia from the pool poison the sunlight near it. The soul
+by its vicious thoughts and imaginations will entail an immoral tone on
+the body; so also will the body react on the soul, by its appetites,
+passions and propensities, increasing the viciousness of the soul by
+pushing it to courses of vice not directly and immediately its own. In
+our text is found an illustration of this thought. A father and mother
+bring their stubborn and rebellious son to the elders of the Jewish
+church. They assign, as the cause of his stubbornness and rebellion,
+gluttony and drunkenness, than which there are no vices that demoralize
+the body more, or goad the soul to greater crimes. Hear it:
+
+“This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice,
+he is a glutton and a drunkard.” That is, bad conditions of the physical
+nature, wrought by gluttony and drunkenness, have made him stubborn and
+rebellious. It will not help the case to say that his stubbornness and
+rebellion caused his gluttony and drunkenness, for if they did, then
+his soul must act on the body. His morals must influence his manners,
+and therefore his manners must reflect on his morals; they must
+interact, which is just the point we make; that his appetite and lust
+fire the temperament or disposition, and a fiery disposition provokes
+appetite and lust to wilder indulgences.
+
+A remarkable fact, in this day of advanced science and revelation, is
+that Christians and moralists in their work of reform have paid so
+little attention to the influence of the body on the soul. Jesus Christ
+more than any other teacher or reformer recognized the demoralizing
+and debasing influence of bad bodily conditions. Hence he almost
+always healed maladies of the body before he entered his principles
+upon the soul. It is true that his many miracles on the bodies of men
+were primarily intended to reveal his divinity; yet divinity in its
+manifestations always runs over the whole line of the natural before
+passing into the supernatural; therefore Christ’s miracles on the
+bodies of men had a sanitary side to them. The man with the leprosy was
+in the poorest condition bodily to hear favorably any talk about moral
+sweetness; hence Christ healed his diseased body, in connection with
+his moral teachings. His example with the blind and hungry and deaf in
+this respect ought not to go for nothing with those of us who seek to
+save men in our day. Philanthropists and Christians for the most part
+have overlooked the power of a debased body on the soul. They forget
+that Paul likens a body that has sinful habitudes to a thing of death,
+as compared with the soul that seeks to live the new life in Christ
+Jesus. Therefore good men have labored to create in themselves and
+those whom they seek to reform, certain emotional conditions of the
+spirit, by a tenacious adherence to creeds, or the patient performance
+of a set round of religious duties, and all this regardless of bad
+physical conditions begotten by bad habits of eating and drinking.
+While they have been struggling to bring their own souls and the souls
+of others into holy attitudes, all the basilar forces of the body have
+run riot within, and perhaps beyond, the pale of human customs and
+human laws. If you want to empty a boiler of steam, it will not help
+you much by lifting the safety valve if you still keep water in the
+boiler and fire in the furnace. Prayer, Bible reading and Psalm singing
+will not help a man much to get rid of his sins, if he keeps up a set
+of bodily habits which fire the body and inflame the soul to continue
+its sinning. That you may see the connection more clearly between
+vice and victuals, let me show you how food may damage our bodies and
+demoralize our souls.
+
+I am fully aware of the difficulties I encounter in entering this
+thought on your minds. Because religion has been considered as having
+little or nothing to do with the body, I shall encounter the settled
+opinions of good men to this effect. Because our popular methods of
+eating have the sanction of custom and the defense of long established
+habits, I may not criticise them without losing the favor of those who
+are content with things as they are. Because I shall call in question
+many indulgences of appetite hitherto considered sinless, I shall run
+the risk of being called a fanatic or fool. Because I shall preach the
+New Testament doctrine of self-denial many will say this is a hard
+saying—“who can bear it?” But with the hope that I may unfold to you a
+glorious realm of liberty from the bondage of bodily propensities, I
+cheerfully do my duty and leave the consequences for God to look after.
+
+Very few of us are aware of the great physical demoralization and
+spiritual wickedness, brought on us and our children, by bad habits of
+eating, as to the kind of food, the mode of its preparation, and the
+manner and times of taking it. We refuse to think of our indulgences
+of appetite as the cause of our physical ailments and premature death,
+and much less will we allow ourselves to believe that these indulgences
+have anything to do with forming our morals or shaping our characters
+or determining our eternal destiny.
+
+And yet I aver, without the fear of successful refutation, that
+three-fourths of all our bodily ailments or diseases, and many of our
+immoral acts, are the legitimate results of improper dietetic habits.
+If these habits do not effect us directly, they do so indirectly by
+lowering the tone of the whole system, physical and moral, causing us
+to break down prematurely into some disease or deviltry, under the
+pressure of legitimate toil or immoral provocation. How is it possible
+to account for the death of one half the human family before five years
+of age, unless we trace it to the violation of physical laws in some
+way connected with the eating habits alike of parent and child? Many
+children enter the world with such a low state of inherited physical
+vitality, and so little moral tone, that they are unable to resist
+the attacks of bodily disease or throw it off when on them, and much
+less able to throw off moral disease and rise above their immoral
+heritage if spared to pass through childhood to years of maturity. Such
+children not only carry in their little bodies the physical weaknesses
+of their parents, but also the specific immoral tendencies found in
+the conditions of their parentage. And more than this, should their
+endowment of vitality be sufficient to carry them over the death line
+for infants, they are subject to such unnatural relations to dress and
+diet that it becomes a natural impossibility for them to live. In this
+way many children die prematurely, not by the arbitrary edict of God,
+but by the violation of law. And if God should save their lives by
+special suspension of his laws, more damage would be done to the moral
+harmony of the universe than to let them die. I know it is a common
+custom to ascribe all sickness and death to the direct and arbitrary
+action of Divine Providence. That is, if one overeats, or eats
+innutritious food, or at improper times, making himself sickly, so that
+he becomes an easy prey to disease, and dies suddenly or at the noon
+tide of life, all the good people say—“What a strange Providence!” As
+if God had everything to do with such a death, and the deceased had
+little or nothing to do with it. I incline to the opinion that Divine
+Providence has little or nothing to do with such deaths only in so
+far as Divine Providence is in the laws of life violated. The primary
+cause of all premature deaths is violated law. God does not arbitrarily
+kill anybody. Most of those who die in infancy or in early life, come
+to death by the violation of God’s laws written in their bodies. If
+these laws were obeyed in us and in our ancestry, most of us ought to
+live beyond three score years and ten, and drop from this life into
+the other in a ripe, mellow old age, just as ripe fruit drops from its
+bough in autumn time. But you ask where is God in the many untimely
+deaths that occur? I answer He is present in his great hearted goodness
+to help the dying to an eternal victory over death, if they will only
+let Him. He is present to bind up the hearts that are breaking with
+sorrow for the departed, and to make a sudden, untimely, and needless
+death a monument of warning to those still living, thus making the
+wrath of man to praise Him. If therefore our children die in infancy,
+because we have entailed on them feeble bodies by our violation of law,
+God does not kill them, but they die through violated law, and he in
+His goodness takes the little ones to His bosom, the seat and source of
+all law. Let us not then charge our sorrows to the willful enactment
+of our Heavenly Father. He taketh no pleasure in the death of him that
+dieth. When he gives life to us, He intends that we shall keep it as
+long as possible.
+
+Having given us life, all the forces of His boundless nature are
+engaged to maintain it in us until He is ready to harvest us as the
+farmer does the ripened grain. The God of nature and the God of grace
+are not in antagonism. “The one God is in all and over all.” A kingdom
+divided against itself cannot stand. If, therefore, we die this side
+of three score years and ten—seventy years—we die untimely. It is high
+time that good men were awake to this fact, and ceased charging over
+to Divine Providence what legitimately belongs to ourselves. “Jesus
+Christ came to destroy him that hath the power of death, that is the
+devil;” and when the philosophy of Jesus is wrought up into human lives
+by obedience to physical laws, the power of disease and death over
+our bodies will be very much broken. The victory over death can be so
+far achieved by men in the body that they need not die until their
+minds and hearts have received all the development in this world that
+infinite love ordains. That is, men may so baffle the monster of death
+by obedience to law as to keep him at bay until their souls have taken
+on such Christly ripeness that they shall burst and break their bodies,
+as the ripening chestnuts break their burrs under the frosts of autumn.
+We have, therefore, no right to ascribe to supernatural agency any
+phenomena which can be explained on natural principles. Disobedience
+to law brings penalties. There is nothing that men need to see more in
+their efforts at reform than the connection between their sufferings
+and their disobedience. Now, disobedience to the laws of life brings
+the penalties, sickness and premature death. There is no field where
+our disobedience manifests itself more frequently and with so little
+thought of consequences, as in our false and unnatural habits of eating
+and drinking, which damage the body and demoralize the soul.
+
+“The Blood is the Life.” This is the declaration alike of revelation and
+of science. Evolutionary processes may induce a variation in the form
+or number of the blood corpuscles, but they can not set aside the law
+that the building and rebuilding of all the organs involved in bodily
+or mental acts comes from the blood alone. The physical, mental and
+moral natures are so intimately connected that that which affects one,
+affects the others. So that a man’s mental and moral nature, as well
+as his physical, can very largely be determined by the quality of his
+blood. Now it is a physiological fact that our blood is made out of
+the food we eat. That food which enters the mouth and is assimilated,
+makes blood. By the marvelous processes of digestion and assimilation
+our food is transformed into blood; and the blood passing through the
+veins and arteries repairs the waste tissues and forms new ones, thus
+building up our bodies and sustaining life. It follows then that our
+bodies are made of the food we eat. Evidently it was the design of
+our Creator that the prime object of eating should be the building up
+of tissue—muscles, bones and brains. That this may be a pleasure to
+us, He has associated with eating the delights of appetite. But most
+of us have so far perverted the divine order as to make the pleasures
+of appetite the chief object of eating. “Give us something _good_ to
+eat,” is the great cry of humanity, and the goodness of food is gauged
+by the sensations of the palate and not by the law of nutrition. Most
+of us determine the goodness of our food by the amount of sensual
+delight it imparts to the palate, no matter how much damage it may
+do beyond to the delicate and intricate structure of the stomach and
+viscera. Hence a vast amount of food enters the mouth that makes bad
+blood, blood that in itself is corrupt, and carries poisonous particles
+to every organ in the system, putting us in splendid condition to be
+easily provoked to some outburst of anger, passion or revenge. My
+hearers, there is a sure and vital connection between bad blood and
+bad morals. Blood always tells in morals as well as in muscles. Blood
+has power throughout the whole realm of life, whether it be in a human
+body, in society, or in the body of a horse on the racecourse.
+
+You ask, what kind of food makes bad blood? I answer, very much of the
+flesh of animals, that forms the staple diet of most of us. Sty-fed
+pigs and stall-fed oxen are fattened under the most unlawful and
+unhealthful conditions possible; shut up in the dark, cut off from
+exercise, the fat deposited on their bodies is made up of the waste
+matter that the life-forces of the animal have been unable to expel.
+This waste fatty matter, surcharged with unexpelled excretions, is
+liable to induce disease in all who consume it. It has established
+tuberculosis in captive lions, and in cats and dogs, and in other
+carnivora; and it were folly to assume that mankind, feeding upon
+such poisonous food, should wholly escape. Even in the living animal
+this effete unexpelled poisonous waste breeds vermin, such as have
+been found in pork, which cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking or
+by the process of digestion, and hence live and generate in the human
+body, producing disease and death. I am not now making a plea for the
+absolute disuse of animal food, but against the bad quality of very
+much of it, and also against the inordinate use of that which may be
+good in quality. A certain amount of animal food is useful for our
+nourishment, especially in winter time, because of its heat producing
+qualities. But meat every day, and at every meal, is in no way
+necessary for the proper sustenance of the human system.
+
+The use of large quantities of animal food, however free from
+disease-germs, as a _staple_ article of diet makes the blood gross,
+coarse and corrupt, filling the body with scrofulous elements, sending
+poison to every part of the system, causing it to break out in running
+sores, salt-rheum, tetter and the like, producing an inordinate
+appetite, throwing every organ of the body into frictional relations
+to every other organ. It is a matter of every-day surprise to me
+that any human being will consent to eat the flesh of pigs. Consider
+their uncleanness, their selfish, greedy habits, the vast amount of
+corruption that enters into their bodies, their want of exercise,
+their impure breathing, their lack of sudorific glands or emunctories,
+through which effete tissues and morbid accumulations may be expelled;
+and think, when you eat pork, of the train of horrid elements which
+enter into your body. And your body thus debased by a low order of
+animal flesh, the effect must be to make you take on the disposition
+and tendencies of the hog. God’s bill of fare in the eleventh chapter
+of Leviticus excluded from the tables of the Jews the hog and all water
+animals except those that had fins and scales. This bill of fare was
+given to the Jews not only for the preservation of their health, but,
+as God’s great purpose was moral reform, He had an eye single to their
+moral condition in the matter of their eating. Does any one doubt that
+the unhealthy, ugly, and vicious elements that make up the flesh of
+most of the animals we eat, enter our blood, and in that way affect the
+disposition or carriage of the soul? I am confident, if there was less
+demand for animal food the quality would be very much better. Animals
+would not be subject to false and unhealthy generation, and false and
+hasty methods of growth. They would come up more in keeping with the
+laws of their nature, and come to us with more healthy and better
+qualities. As for the hog, if man would not domesticate him, he could
+not propagate his species. He would become extinct just like the lion,
+leopard, and hyena, under the march of civilization. As the blessings
+of civilized life reach us, you notice the carnivorous or flesh-eating
+animals become extinct. So it seems to me that with the developments of
+civilization there ought to be such moral refinements in human beings
+that they would grow away from their carnivorous tendencies, and eat
+such food as tends to develop the mental and moral faculties, and not
+the animal propensities. Among animals you find that those that live on
+the flesh of other animals are the most vicious and destructive, such
+as the lion, leopard, and hyena. Those animals that live on the grains
+and the higher order of foods are the best, most beautiful, and most
+useful, such as the horse and cow. If this law obtains among animals,
+why not among men? Beyond a doubt it does. If you want proof of this,
+study the character and lives of those who live largely on animal food,
+and you will find them very animal-like in all their relations—restive,
+impatient, passionate, ugly in their ways, fiery in their disposition,
+easily provoked, readily put out of humor. And if you could look into
+their private lives you would find all their baser qualities having the
+fullest sway, stopping, it may be, inside the fence of human laws and
+customs, but seldom considering the claims of a higher and divine law.
+I charge, then, very much of our household misery, domestic woe, and
+connubial wretchedness, to unrestrained lust begotten in the body by
+the inordinate use of animal food.
+
+We forget, my hearers, that the great law of nature, “Like produces
+like,” is universal. “Every seed after its kind is the law of all
+creation.” There is no exception to this law. This principle obtains
+not only in the production of life, but in the processes of its
+development. If my position about the intimacy of soul and body is
+true, then, if a man’s body is made up chiefly of flesh taken from
+diseased animals, and his whole physical frame is saturated with the
+irritating and exciting condiments of what is popularly called good
+food, the whole bias of his bodily powers will be toward animalism.
+All the impressions and impulses that the soul receives from such a
+body are beastly and debasing. Like produces like in the formation of
+physical tissue out of food, as well as in the generation of stock in
+the stall. Hence I hold that very much of the wickedness of mankind
+is the natural expression of physical beastliness rather than the
+outflow of innate viciousness. A body made up largely of all manner of
+nerve-goading, passion-producing, anger-generating elements, such as
+are found in the gross animal dishes with their stimulating adjuncts,
+just as surely drives the soul to sin as a tempest drives a feather
+before it.
+
+As modern research has proved that bad or imperfect food when
+digested surely makes bad or imperfect blood, incapable of performing
+its appointed work of upbuilding and of reparation, so has science
+demonstrated that perfect food is one of the most potent among
+remedies for the relief of many diseased conditions. Since the blood
+is the life, and since blood is merely food emulsified, mingled with
+certain digestive fluids and colored by the oxygen with which it is
+brought in contact in the lungs—it is easy to understand how perfect
+food may create perfect blood, which shall presently supplant that
+which is feeble, that which is lacking in waste-repairing power, that
+which fails to give strength to the muscles or vigor to the brain,
+and may thus become the most effective medicine. A perusal of recent
+professional medical literature evinces the great stress which is now
+laid upon dietetics in the treatment of all diseases. The approach to
+this high altitude has been gradual, but sure. At first foods were made
+the vehicles for drugs; and cod-liver oil and malt-extracts, which are
+only concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon varieties, were loaded with
+lime and iron and strychnine and phosphorous and scores of other drugs.
+But perfect results were secured by the use of these foods without
+the drug additions, and so the foods were at last given the credit
+which all along belonged to them. And so it has come to pass that with
+advanced medical men, in a vast majority of cases of sickness, the
+support of the life-powers by proper nutrients is the foremost thought,
+the best food proving to be the best medicine.
+
+The kind of food a man eats, and the time and manner of his eating it,
+are not merely a question of medicine, but one of the first questions
+of morals. The effects of food on the passions and feelings are thus
+described by Prior:
+
+    “Observe the various operations
+    Of food and drink in several nations;
+    Was ever Tartar fierce and cruel
+    Upon the strength of water gruel?
+    But who shall stand his rage and force
+    When first he rides, then eats, his horse?
+    Salads and eggs and lighter fare,
+    Tune the Italian spark’s guitar;
+    And if I take Don Confrere right,
+    Pudding and beef make Britons fight.”
+
+
+If, therefore, our meat has something to do with our morals, or if our
+food in some way affects our faith, it seems to me that many of our
+efforts at moral reform ought to be preceded by instruction in hygiene.
+In other words, efforts to make a man genuinely devotional ought to be
+prefaced by efforts to correct bad dietetic habits. A father, by prayer
+and precept and flogging, had done his best to reform his boy, whose
+staple diet was meat and sausage and pie and cake at his meals, with
+lunch between. The family physician said to the father, “If you will
+put a leech back of each of your boy’s ears once a week for a month,
+you will do more to reform him than your preaching and pounding will do
+in a year.” The father asked for the philosophy of this prescription.
+“Why,” said the doctor, “your boy has bad blood, and too much of it;
+he must behave badly or he would burst.” “Then,” said the father,
+“I’ll change his diet from beef and pie to hominy and milk.” In three
+months thereafter a better boy for his age could not be found in the
+neighborhood. The acrid, biting, evil blood had not become food for
+leeches, but it had done its wicked work and passed away, and a cooler,
+blander, purer, safer blood had been supplied from sweeter, gentler
+food sources.
+
+In your use of animal food be very particular as to quality and
+quantity. Lamb and mutton are considered the most healthy by the
+authorities. Avoid as you would contagion the use of pork, unless you
+raise it yourselves, and feed it with good grain, and not the refuse
+of the house or barn, and keep the animals as clean as you do your pet
+dogs. Never fry your meat with hogs’ lard, but stew, bake, boil, or
+broil it. Use hogs’ lard in no form for cooking. Most of it is said to
+be reeking with scrofulous elements. Displace it in _all_ your cooking
+by milk or butter. If you want to aid and not hinder the growth of your
+soul Godward, if you desire to have pure thoughts and a pure heart and
+a pure life, see that you make your blood out of pure food, or you
+will find that your soul will have an enemy within the castle of its
+body more treacherous and deadly than any of its enemies without.
+
+There is another popular article of food among us, which has a vital
+connection with bodily disorders and bad exhibition of character. Good
+in proper quantities and in its sphere, when made the largest and chief
+article of diet, for every meal, the one kind of food upon which we
+depend most for building up the wastes of our bodies, it indirectly
+does great damage. I refer to the ordinary fine flour bread made out of
+bolted wheat meal.
+
+It is proper to remember that the white flour from which our bread
+is chiefly made, and which is deemed the staff of life, is a purely
+artificial product—a selection from that perfect food combination
+which exists in wheat. A competent food chemist has compared the
+regular milling processes to one by which the fat part of an ox should
+be saved for food, and the lean part—the albuminous or nitrogenous
+portion—discarded and given to the dogs. The comparison is well based,
+since the starch of wheat, which is valued because of its whiteness,
+is a carbo-hydrate, chemically allied to the fat of meat; while the
+dark nutriment of wheat, which, because of its color, is discarded with
+the bran with which it is found in contact in nature, is a vegetable
+nitrogenous albumen, rich in mineral elements, and almost identical,
+chemically, with the lean or muscular tissue of beef.
+
+The process of bolting or refining takes from the wheat most of the
+phosphates and nitrates, the elements that are chiefly required for
+making nerves, muscles, bones, and brains. The phosphates and nitrates
+being removed by bolting, very little remains in the flour except
+the starchy carbonates, the heat and fat producing elements. The use
+of fine flour bread as a staple article of food introduces too much
+heat and fat-producing elements into the system, and where there is
+too much carbon or heating substance, it tends rather to provoke the
+system to unnatural and abnormal action, and instead of serving as an
+element to warm the body, its tendency is to burn or consume, heating
+and irritating all the organs, getting one into that state which is
+popularly known as “hot-blooded.” The fine white flour ordinarily
+used has two-thirds of the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment that God
+put in the wheat taken out. Unless these deficiencies are made up by
+some other foods, the exclusive use of fine flour bread will leave
+the nerves and bones poorly nourished, producing in some systems
+nervousness, dyspepsia, and all the physical ills that follow these
+diseases, together with impatience, fretfulness, and irritability. God
+intended that all the nutritive properties He put in the wheat should
+stay in it for purposes of symmetrical nourishment. Fine flour bread
+may be used for purposes of producing heat in the system, but it does
+not feed hungry nerves or starving bones.
+
+One reason why children fed chiefly on white bread feel hungry nearly
+all the time, and demand so much food between meals, is found in the
+fact that their bodies are insufficiently nourished. Their bones
+and nerves not receiving the nitrates and phosphates they need, are
+suffering from hunger.
+
+When children are fed with food that thoroughly nourishes their whole
+system, they will seldom desire to eat between meals and thus retard
+the process of digestion and lay the foundation for dyspepsia and all
+its kindred evils.
+
+Flour made of all the nutriment of pure white wheat, unbolted, yet
+without the shell or husk or bran, contains all the elements necessary
+for the nourishment of the body. The flour called Graham flour rarely
+contains these elements. There is a great deal of bogus stuff in the
+market, which has brought the genuine article into disrepute, and made
+many thoughtful people disgusted with everything in that line. Very
+much that is called Graham flour is made up of a mixture of fine bolted
+flour, and the woody fibre of the wheat, which has no nutriment in it
+at all. This wretched fabrication has tended to make all whole wheat
+products unpopular. The woody bran is worse than worthless as food,
+or to mix with food. You might as well eat the shells of nuts, or the
+husks of corn, or the skins of potatoes, as the silex coats of wheat.
+To overload the alimentary canal with such foreign indigestible matter
+has no other tendency but to weaken and debilitate it. Very few millers
+trouble themselves to make a perfect whole wheat flour. I know but one
+establishment in the world where wheat and other grains are treated
+precisely as they should be, with all the harmful part removed and the
+rest made digestible by harmless methods, and that is the Health Food
+Company of New York.[1]
+
+[1] See Appendix, page 30.
+
+Bread leavened, or unleavened, made out of what is called the Cold
+Blast Whole Wheat Flour, makes more muscle and furnishes more food for
+the nerves than any other article of food given to man except the pure
+gluten of wheat. I am not now advocating the views of the extremists,
+the Grahamites, neither do I counsel the disuse of fine flour bread.
+This latter should be used in connection with unbolted flour, but
+should not be relied on to furnish you with all the nutritious elements
+that your bodies need. There is a golden mean between the extremes
+of vegetarianism and exclusive flesh diet which the common sense of
+thoughtful people will find. During the warm season a diet made up
+chiefly of fruits, grains, and vegetables will be most healthful
+for body and soul. Instead of the scrofula-breeding pork or ham for
+breakfast, use some one of the great variety of grains, especially
+oat-meal, than which there are few better foods for growing children
+and hard working adults. Instead of fried cakes, rich pastry, and
+candies, use fruit, of which there is an abundant variety, ten-fold
+more nourishing than pies or cakes, and very cleansing to the blood.
+Let brown bread, Johnnie-cake, and corn-meal pudding supplant fine
+wheat bread as much as possible. Eat your meals regularly and slowly,
+eating nothing between them. Eat sparingly of meat at mid-day, and let
+it be good fresh beef, mutton, or fish, well cooked. Let the evening
+meal be taken not later than six o’clock. Discard tea and coffee, and
+make your own coffee with browned crusts of bread, or burned whole
+wheat.[2] Follow these suggestions and you will find very many of the
+ills of your body departing and very many of the troubles you have in
+behaving yourselves, vanishing.

+[2] The Health Food Company prepare a “Cereal Coffee” from Wheat Gluten
+and Barley, which not only makes a delicious beverage, but tends
+to greatly strengthen both body and brain. Those who would release
+themselves from the dangerous practice of tea-drinking, and the less
+injurious but still objectionable use of the commercial coffees, will
+do well to try this nutrient beverage.
+
+Again, we derange our bodies and demoralize our souls by eating too
+much. The great end of life with many of us is to eat. The American
+dining-room has become, for the most part, a place for the indulgence
+of animalism, and not for the development of the affections or social
+qualities. A distinguished American physician said: “I am sixty-six
+years old, and I have eaten enough food to answer my wants for 100
+years, and yet I am what most people call a small eater.” The popular
+habit of using, inordinately, appetizers in the shape of the ordinary
+table condiments, begets a false and unnatural appetite. The time comes
+when honest food palls upon the depraved senses. The pampered, jaded
+appetite no longer finds satisfaction in simple food-flavors; the
+palate must be prompted with pungent things. The cook, who is never a
+physiologist, responds to the demand for spurs to appetite, and finds
+them in mixtures of spices and peppers and mustards and acids and
+essential oils and chemicals, and multitudes of non-food substances.
+With these, and various biting alcohols, the delicate lining of the
+stomach is inflamed, inducing a desire for food which passes for what
+it is not, namely, honest appetite. The palate demands more food than
+the stomach can digest or the system assimilate. Poor nature, anxious
+to do the best she can, adapts herself to the unnatural situation,
+and forces all the other organs to do the same; and thus we become
+accustomed to over-eating and do not know it.
+
+That all who accustom themselves to a stimulating diet, to spices and
+wines and other irritating things, consume too much food, cannot, I
+think, be gainsayed. The amount and kind of food needed depends upon
+the individual habits and the kind of waste to be supplied. A wholly
+idle man should thrive well on cucumbers and water-melons, which are
+chiefly water; while the hard-working hod-carrier would demand several
+pounds of solid carbon and nitrogen daily. It is the sedentary, the
+well-to-do, the man of leisure, who suffers most from over-eating; and
+it behooves him to carefully avoid all goads and spurs to appetite.
+With the simplest flavors he is nearly certain to over-eat and thus to
+suffer. With an appetite stimulated and induced, without corresponding
+out-door labor to create a genuine need and demand for it, digestive
+failure and assimilative bankruptcy is only a question of time.
+
+The stomach, overloaded, performs its work imperfectly, and thus
+imposes on all the organs an extra amount of work, which breaks them
+down prematurely, causing diseases of every kind, such as nervous
+headache, sick headache, rush of blood to the head, apoplexy, sore
+eyes, deafness, erysipelas, neuralgia of the face, decayed teeth,
+catarrh, bronchitis, asthma, nausea, common colic, congestion of the
+liver, and a host of other diseases too unpleasant to mention. In some
+cases there is a disposition of too much fatty matter in the system;
+and many people suppose that fatness is a sign of healthfulness, which
+is false. No one needs any more fat on his body than is essential to
+form cushions for his tendons and muscles; if too much, there is a
+depletion of strength.
+
+The crowded and overloaded condition of the system makes the body take
+on very many false manifestations. The irritation produced in an
+overcharged system manifests itself in different forms in different
+individuals. In some it produces nervousness, making them rack the
+flesh off their bones and keeping them poor; and in others it produces
+sluggishness, retaining defunct matter in the system, making them
+corpulent. As I have said, our highly-seasoned foods create morbid and
+abnormal appetites.
+
+As a consequence we eat too much and too often, the system being borne
+down by overwork in its digestive department, there comes a demand for
+stimulating drinks and medicines to take off the depression and to keep
+up tone; and to make ourselves feel good, after having made ourselves
+feel bad, by improper eating, some of us resort to tea and coffee, and
+others to alcohol, and then the excitement produced demands a sedative,
+and some of us smoke and others chew a poisonous weed called tobacco.
+Thus the poor body, subject to these revulsions of unnatural action in
+overwork and stimulation and sedation, is goaded to abnormities and
+unnatural action, sending up to the soul no other influences but those
+which drive it to moral madness and vicious deeds.
+
+Now, vice is a morbid exhibition of the will. The will is represented
+through the physical organ, the brain, and the brain is straightway
+affected by the condition of the body and the state of the blood. The
+will is that power of the mind by which we put forth volitions and
+perform actions. If the pressure of bad blood is on the brain, that
+same pressure is on the will; hence a sick man or a diseased man will
+do a great many bad things through the power of bad blood on the will.
+Vice, then, is both the result and cause of physical derangement.
+Hence that vice of vices, drunkenness.
+
+Drunkenness may be caused by bad physical conditions, brought about
+by bad habits of eating. Would it not be well for us to look into
+bad table habits for one of the reasons why so many of our young men
+become drunkards? May there not be some cause working in the flesh
+of our youths, driving them to intemperance? May it not be possible
+that kind fathers and mothers for years have been filling up the awful
+gap of 40,000 dead drunkards annually by feeding their children upon
+stimulating, highly-seasoned, innutritious foods? There is no doubt
+in my mind that every man is a glutton before he is a drunkard. If
+nature’s laws are violated, a man’s sensations will be all abnormal,
+and the mainsprings of his life will be befouled, and the result
+will be irregular and vicious expressions of all the appetites, both
+for food and drink. I am, therefore, confident that the widespread
+appetite for intoxicating liquors is largely due to the false relations
+that the American people hold to their food. We cannot hope much
+from moral suasion and legal enactments so long as we overlook the
+physical condition of the drunkard. If you would cure disease or vice
+effectually, you must shut off that which nourishes them, instead of
+putting all your force in efforts to antidote them. “Let the wicked
+forsake his way,” and then turn unto the Lord, and he will have mercy
+on him, and to our God, and he will abundantly pardon him. There are
+200,000 drunkards in the United States, 40,000 of whom go annually to
+premature graves. There are 20,000 prostitutes, whose average life
+in their profession is four years. Do you believe this vast army of
+immortals go willingly to ruin? There are causes lying back of mere
+perversities of soul in the common every-day dietetic habits of these
+forlorn ones.
+
+Eating and drinking are always associated with the bar and brothel,
+and if you will take notice, the eating is always of that kind of
+food which goes straight for the animal nature, and wakes up in a man
+everything that is beastly.
+
+The whole tendency of the food furnished at the popular bar-room
+restaurant is to stir the baser elements in humanity and keep up the
+demand for alcoholic stimulants. No wonder the drinking saloons can
+afford to give what they call a “free lunch.” Care is taken to furnish
+such food as fires the appetite for strong drink, and the rum-seller
+gets his pay for his “free lunch” through the sale of the whisky that
+must inevitably follow it. Those who, living on highly stimulating
+foods, but do not drink strong drinks, will find that the bias of their
+bodily powers, instead of being toward mental and spiritual spheres,
+will be toward animal indulgences, dragging the mind and soul into
+servitude to the flesh, and where there are any moral aspirations,
+making the conflict between the higher and lower nature so intense that
+a vast amount of moral force is wasted in self-conflict that ought to
+go into the world’s redemptive agencies for saving the lost.
+
+I am confident that the American habit of eating sumptuous and late
+suppers, whether at our homes or church fairs or festivals, is damaging
+the physical, mental, and moral health of our nation more than any
+other one thing of its kind; more damaging, because it has the
+appearance of innocency, and the sanction of our fathers and mothers
+and some of our pastors.
+
+Furthermore, the habit of eating hurriedly, or hastily, is preying
+upon the vital and moral forces of many of us. A meal eaten hastily or
+nervously, under the pressure of intense mental activity or nervous
+tension, or great weariness, begins its work of nutrition under the
+greatest possible disadvantage. All our meals should be eaten calmly
+and deliberately, so as to thoroughly masticate the food, and not
+impose on the stomach and viscera the legitimate work of the teeth.
+In the interest of health to soul as well as body I enter an earnest
+plea for more time for eating, and especially at noon, when most hard
+working people take their principal meal. Clerks, business men, and
+school teachers, mechanics, laborers, and our children who attend the
+public schools, need more time at noon to properly dispose of the chief
+meal of the day. No better investment could be made to secure the best
+possible physical, intellectual, financial, and moral returns than for
+all classes of people to take two hours at mid-day for resting and
+eating dinner. Selfish greed demands otherwise, and makes a show of
+gain; but the loss is sure to come in due time to all parties concerned.
+
+My friends, when will we fast-living, fast-eating, fast-working, and
+fast-dying Americans learn the great lesson, that life is a unit,
+that the Divine Trinity in us, namely, the physical, intellectual,
+and spiritual, is one life, with different phases of expression; and
+whatever mars one mars the whole, and whatever builds up one most
+surely builds up the others? All our powers are many members in one
+body, with an inter-dependence which is eternal. Slight your body,
+and you smite your soul and enervate the mind. Corrupt the mind, and
+you debase both body and soul. When will those who profess to be God’s
+children by the adoption of the Holy Ghost, catch the Spirit of His
+great Apostle Paul, who, more than any other sacred writer, maintained
+the sanctity of the human body and its subservience to the mind and
+soul. Hear him: “I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God that
+ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
+which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world,
+but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may prove
+what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” I admit the
+power of the Holy Ghost in the work of regeneration, but is there not
+something for us to do, in keeping our bodies under, “lest we become
+cast-aways?” I do not say that _all_ human evils and ills have their
+primary origin in physical habits, but I do say that the great mass
+of impulsions from the excited, inflamed, over-stimulated body toward
+the soul, are in the interests of sin. The economy of salvation orders
+otherwise. By the Gospel the body may become the temple of the Holy
+Ghost. By the law of self-denial of the New Testament, our bodies, with
+all their fiery elements, may be made an inspiration to our souls.
+It is not the purpose of God that a life-time warfare shall be kept
+up between the body and the soul. There ought to come to every true
+Christian a day of final victory over his bodily powers, in which they
+will cease their rebellion, and come into the sweetest union with the
+soul in its great work of developing a likeness to Christ.
+
+Why are we called upon to present the body a living sacrifice to God,
+if its powers are not to be sanctified to holy purposes? Why should we
+spend all our life waiting for the adoption of our whole nature, to
+wit, the redemption of the body, as well as the soul.
+
+Our fondest dreams for the progress of humanity must be based in a
+newly created body by strict obedience to the laws of God, written on
+every fibre, tissue, muscle, and bone. We cannot develop the human
+brain and heart to the possibilities that God has put in them, while
+they are the tenants of bodies the laws of which are violated in the
+commonest habits of every-day life.
+
+Regeneration does a mighty work for us; but generation has also much
+to do with our highest and best development. The sins of the fathers
+must cease, so that the sons may be spared their terrible visitations;
+the accumulated virtues of parents must roll over on their children in
+purer, stronger, and better bodies until by a blessed economy the whole
+race shall be exalted to heirship with Christ through loving obedience
+to all the laws of physical as well as moral life.
+
+Why may we not now, under the laws of redemption, begin to build a new
+heaven and a new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our souls are
+redeemed and renewed by obedience and faith, why not secure also the
+redemption of our bodies? I know it is slow work to teach the subtle
+but mighty elements of self-restraint. I know the flesh lusteth against
+the spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the victory through our Lord
+Jesus Christ.

+
+
+In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler & Wells for the
+manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall far short of
+my duty if I did not allude more particularly than seemed appropriate
+in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work which is being done by the
+Health Food Company, and to the great excellence of its products. If
+these remarks were addressed to physicians, the simple mention of the
+name of the company would suffice, because there are probably very
+few medical men and women who are not aware of the good work of this
+organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for invalids of
+every type, as well as for such as are in health and are solicitous
+thus to continue. The work of the company has, from the beginning,
+been under the wise direction of a scientific head, himself an
+original investigator, and having an ample acquaintance with all the
+truths which have been evolved by modern scientific research. While
+it is very important that physicians should know all that is to be
+known concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large
+opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world may not
+go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the vast body of
+intelligent readers and church-goers should be made aware of the fact
+that in the matter of food and its preparation there are laws which
+are not comprehended by ignorant cooks, which may not be violated with
+impunity, the scope and importance of which are being more perfectly
+understood from year to year, and which, in their practical application
+by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand work in
+the up-building and re-building of human bodies and brains. Especially
+am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many of whom, I am
+persuaded, suffer from unsupplied waste of brain and nerve power—should
+more fully appreciate the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues
+of the body may be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may
+nearly or quite fail to supply or replenish the waste of the delicate
+brain and nervous system; and should understand how the best foods for
+the active brain-worker can be procured.
+
+A dyspeptic myself, a member of a dyspeptic family, and observing
+much of that kind of misery and weakness which arises from digestive
+feebleness, I have been compelled to study the subject of food in its
+relation to bodily and mental and moral well-being, during many years;
+and it is not less a pleasure than a duty to say that an intimate
+acquaintance with the researches of the Health Food Co. and its
+products, has convinced me that this organization is the center and
+source of the best information obtainable in any land, on the subject
+of dietetics; that the food which it prepares from many substances,
+especially from the cereal grains, are the best in the world; and that
+all who seek to live wisely and well, all who are strong and would
+continue so, all who are feeble and would fain be strong, all in whom
+the spirit to lead noble and useful lives is willing, but in whom the
+flesh, alas! is weak—owe it to themselves and to all whom they have
+power to influence, to learn all that can be learned concerning the
+great work of this company. In this brief Appendix it is not possible
+to allude, even remotely, to all its investigations in the domain of
+dietetics, nor to fully indicate the valuable results which it has
+achieved. I shall be justified, however, in referring to a few of its
+more prominent applications of scientific thought to the daily needs of
+humanity.
+
+It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by whatever “new
+process,” or under whatever brand, was a robbed, impoverished food,
+and that attached to the bran or husk—which is excluded as it should
+be—there is a layer of nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows
+and horses. It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should
+be deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this
+wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which there is
+no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised a method of
+removing all the woody, branny, siliceous coats from the grain without
+wasting one atom of the nutriment. Seeing that ordinary mill-stone
+grinding tended to heat and impair the flour, it devised other and
+better methods of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole
+wheat flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called
+“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with nothing
+taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious addition of
+grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the woody fibre and silex
+which form the protecting, innutritious shell. Thus the theories of
+the value of bread from the entire wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John
+C. Warren, of Boston, in 1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester
+Graham, were taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained
+in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth really
+existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved by exact
+experiments and by scientific methods, has at length been made of
+real value to the human race instead of continuing to be a source
+of possible, and often of positive injury, by virtue of the errors
+originally attending it. The perfect, branless flour of the entire
+grain is called the COLD BLAST WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, and is, beyond
+question, the most perfect bread-food in the world.
+
+Again, chemistry long ago proved that the nitrogenous, albuminous
+element of the great food staples (the cereal grains) known as GLUTEN,
+was the chief source of muscular tissue in animals, whether obtained
+from grasses, seeds, or other vegetable substances; that it could be
+digested in a mixture of 1 part gastric juice and 10 parts water; that
+it could be separated from its universal attendant, starch, by washing;
+and that a kind of tasteless, insipid bread could then be made from
+it, which was understood to be useful in a disease called diabetes.
+Up to a few years ago these facts comprised pretty much all that the
+scientific world knew about GLUTEN. It was known to exist; Koopman,
+the German chemist, had shown it to be readily digestible; and it was
+non-convertible into sugar, and therefore a safe food for those to whom
+starch, or the sugar which results from digested starch, is little
+less than poison. These slender facts were not sufficient to satisfy
+the accurate investigator at the head of the Health Food Co. He deemed
+it probable that this easily digested GLUTEN, this source of all the
+tissues of the ox except the fatty ones, would be found to be of vast
+value as a separate food for human beings, if while being practically
+isolated from the starch and bran associates which nature provides,
+it could still retain the pleasant grainy flavor of the cereal which
+supplies it. He began a series of investigations to determine the
+source of the agreeable flavor existing in sound wheat, and—as modified
+by milling and cooking—in commercial wheat flour and the foods prepared
+therefrom. The results of the researches of Prof. Henry B. Hill,
+of Harvard University, and of those contemporaneously conducted by
+Adolph Baeyer, of Munich, led him to conclude that to the oil known as
+“furfurol,” existing in the exterior bran and interior cellulose of the
+grain, the flour and bread chiefly owed their desirable flavors. The
+cellulose of the interior of the wheat was found to contain enough of
+the flavoring oil to impart to the insipid gluten an agreeable taste.
+Accordingly, methods were devised for separating the gluten and the
+cellulose from most of the starch, these three elements alone remaining
+after the bran coats were peeled off.
+
+This “whole wheat gluten,” as it is termed by the company, has proved
+a most valuable food, not only for the diabetic, to whom it seems to
+present the chief hope of recovery, but to the dyspeptic and feeble,
+whether in brain or body. Its use has been attended with such signally
+successful results as to attract the attention of large numbers of
+prominent medical men, among whom I may mention Prof. Austin Flint, of
+Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York city, who passes upon it a
+warm encomium in his last great volume. [See Flint’s Clinical Medicine,
+pp. 452-53.]
+
+If I did not feel quite certain that the vast majority of those who
+shall peruse this paragraph would seek from the Health Food Company, or
+from some of its many agents in various parts of the country, the very
+able and interesting pamphlets which it mails free to all applicants,
+I should deem it my duty to allude to other and not less valuable
+applications of scientific thought to the vast problems involved in
+the preparation of foods for humanity, from infancy to old age. To
+adequately describe them all, would require a volume; let me content
+myself with an allusion to one or two of the many.
+
+There is a digestive element existing in the saliva and in the fluid
+called the “pancreatic juice,” which bears the name of “diastase.” This
+diastase exists nowhere outside of the animal economy, except in seeds
+during the process of germination, or sprouting. When the seed, or
+cereal, or vegetable, is exposed to proper influences of moisture and
+warmth, such, for example, as are supplied by the earth in spring-time,
+the process of germination begins, and from the germ diastase is
+liberated. The function of the diastase thus set free is the conversion
+of the food elements in the seed into assimilative nutriment for the
+young and tender plant. It is the digestant of food, whether the
+thing fed be plant or animal. Now, while physiologists have long been
+ready to concede that when, as is common in diseased conditions, this
+important digestant is absent from the saliva and pancreatic juice,
+the conversion of all starchy foods is suspended, it has not been
+supposed that diastase has any marked influence upon the emulsification
+and digestion of food-substances not containing starch, nor had any
+food-chemist availed himself of the diastase in cereals, if I except
+the development and possible subsequent retention, to some extent, of
+diastase in some of the preparations of malt. The Health Food Company
+develops and employs the cereal diastase in a most effective way. It
+removes the germinal molecules from wheat and barley, reduces them to
+powder, forms the powder into a dough, encloses it in a steam-tight
+vessel and subjects the vessel and contents for a protracted period to
+a temperature of 150ºF. The latent diastase is thus brought into being,
+while the low temperature and the close vessel completely prevent its
+volatilization and loss. The diastatic dough is subsequently dried and
+powdered, and is then packed and labeled, ready for use, demanding no
+cooking, and no other preparation than simple moistening with milk
+or water. Used with milk it is found to prevent that tough and curdy
+coagulation which renders milk so oppressive, “bilious” and indigestible
+in many cases. The name given to this diastatic food which I have
+mentioned, is “The Universal Food,” a name suggested by a leading
+physician, who believed it to be universally applicable to enfeebled
+conditions in which better nourishment was needed. It is admirably
+adapted to the nourishment of infants, as diastase is almost entirely
+lacking during the first years of life, and may wisely be supplied from
+exterior sources.
+
+The Company’s great work for the multitude, however, is in the
+preparation of wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas, beans, and other
+seeds. These are perfectly cleansed from all impurities, the outer
+bran-coats, husks, and pellicles are removed, and the interior,
+soluble, digestible food-portion is admirably prepared for ready
+cooking. Persons who have a distaste for Graham and crushed wheat, and
+oat-meal and other cereals, find in the Fine Granulated Wheat, the
+Coarse Granulated Wheat, the Pearled Wheat, Pearled Oats, Granulated
+Oats, Granulated Barley, Rye, Corn, etc., manufactured by this Company,
+delicious foods, which, once adopted, are continued from choice.
+
+I leave this important subject with my readers, again urging them
+to seek to learn more concerning it. To be placed in possession of
+information which I do not assume to be competent to impart, it is only
+necessary that you address a postal card to the Health Food Company,
+No. 74 Fourth Ave., cor. 10th street, New York, N. Y., asking for all
+its Health Food literature, and appending your address, and you will be
+quite certain to receive the entertaining pamphlets by due course of
+mail. The agents of the company, also, cordially respond to calls for
+circulars and orders for the Health Foods.
+
+
+Let me ask my readers not to content themselves with sending for and
+perusing, however carefully, the instructive pamphlets of the Health
+Food Company. If you are sick you will do well to describe your
+condition by letter to the company, and its medical head will write
+you which of the foods are adapted to your case; you can then order a
+supply of such as he advises. If you are in good health and merely seek
+to supply yourself with delicate and nutritive substances which will
+have the effect to keep you strong and well, you will be able to select
+from their list, without special advice. Advice from the medical man
+of the organization costs nothing, however, and should be asked in all
+doubtful or diseased states. J. F. C.

+AN UNSOLICITED LETTER FROM A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN OF NEW YORK.
+
+“_To The Health Food Company, 74 4th Avenue, New York._
+
+  GENTLEMEN:—
+
+I should like to state to your Company the great success I have had
+in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the advisability of letting
+the medical profession generally know of this simple and efficacious
+remedy for constipation. I have prescribed these Suppositories almost
+daily in my practice this winter, and have often been astonished at the
+permanent results obtained. It seems that in great torpor of the rectum
+and descending colon it is especially useful.
+
+I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation was so
+great that very often—much against my will—I was forced to administer
+a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use of these Gluten Suppositories she
+has remained well—over six months. It does not cure _all_ cases, but in
+all the instances where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some
+benefit has been derived.
+
+You may utilize this endorsement if it will make this remedy more
+widely known among the profession.
+
+  Respectfully,
+  J. MONTFORT SCHLEY, M. D.,”

+
+  THE HEALTH FOOD COMPANY OF NEW YORK
+
+
+Is now in the twelfth year of its existence. Its valuable and important
+work has been recognized and commended by thousands of physicians, by
+many writers for the medical and general press, and by multitudes of
+the sick and suffering who have found health and comfort through its
+products. It has had many imitators, but it has conscientiously adhered
+to its original mission of preparing
+
+
+Perfect Foods for Sick and Well.
+
+Basing its work upon exact science, and being presided over by a
+scientific man, it has gained the support and co-operation of the
+scientific world. A year or two since, a competitor in the manufacture
+of a single article, known as “Whole Wheat Flour,” secured the
+publication of an article from the pen of a Dr. Ephraim Cutter—styling
+himself “a microscopist”—in which he asserted his ability to determine
+the relative percentages of gluten and starch by the use of the
+microscope alone. He furthermore said that while the food-value of
+a bread-flour depended upon its percentage of gluten, the various
+flours of the Health Food Company contained no gluten whatever; and
+that the flour made by the “Franklin Mills” (Dr. Cutter’s employer)
+was so rich in gluten as to make it “a blessing to mankind.” These
+grossly absurd statements called forth some very scathing criticisms
+and much ridicule by the medical and secular press, and induced Prof.
+R. H. Thurston, of the Stevens Institute of Technology—who had derived
+benefit from the Health Foods—to invite his colleague, Prof. Albert
+N. Leeds, Public Analyst for the State of New Jersey and Professor of
+Chemistry in the Stevens Institute, to microscopically examine and
+chemically analyze the food substances alluded to, for the purpose of
+determining the accuracy or inaccuracy of Cutter’s statements, and,
+furthermore, to settle the question of the value of the “microscopic
+analysis,” for which so much had been claimed by Cutter. Prof. Leeds’
+careful work conclusively showed that the microscope was _valuable to
+detect adulterations_, but valueless as a means of determining the
+percentages of the various natural constituents of a cereal flour;
+so he proceeded to apply the crucial test of chemical analysis, with
+striking results. (In our limited space we can only briefly quote from
+the Professor’s published statement, but we are assured that he will
+cheerfully mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one who shall address
+him at the College named, situated in Hoboken, New Jersey.) Premising
+that wheat in its natural state contains, on the average, about 12
+per cent. of albuminoids—chiefly gluten—he found in the Health Food
+Company’s Whole Wheat Flour 16.74 per cent. of this substance. Of the
+“Franklin Mills” flour, said to be made from “entire wheat,” he writes:
+“It contains 8.55 per cent. of albuminoids, chiefly gluten, together
+with a very large percentage of cellulose or finely-ground bran. It is
+greatly lacking in nutritive elements.”
+
+Prof. Leeds testifies that the Glutens prepared by the Health Food
+Company are richer in the gluten element than any which he has been
+able to obtain, whether of American or foreign origin, and more than
+twice as rich as a so-called gluten made by Farwell & Rhines, of
+Rochester. He also finds by analysis that “Robinson’s Prepared Barley
+Flour” contains only 5.13 per cent. of albuminoids, while the Health
+Food Company’s barley flour, retailing for less than one-eighth as
+much, contains 13.83 per cent., showing it to be nearly three times
+as rich in substantial nutriment. The flours and foods of the Health
+Food Company are nourishing in health and remedial in sickness. Their
+good work is in the improvement of the blood-making processes, in
+better digestion, in increased nutrition. It is their function to ably
+supplement all such remedial measures as skill and science may suggest.
+Many physicians have testified to the increased readiness of diseases
+to yield to their treatment when the patients have been sustained by
+the bland, soluble, non-irritating, nourishing nutriments prepared by
+the Health Food Company. Its products still stand at the head of the
+long list of food-preparations for infants and invalids, for the sick
+who seek to recover health and strength, for the strong who desire to
+remain strong. It has elevated food and its preparation to the dignity
+of a science, and has sought to render itself wholly worthy of the warm
+encomiums so ably pronounced by scholars, physicians, and scientists,
+conspicuous among whom stand the Rev. John F. Clymer and Prof. Austin
+Flint.

+Pamphlets, price-lists, and all particulars are freely mailed to all
+inquirers. Address,

+
+HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD;
+
+OR,
+
+HYGIENIC COOKERY.
+
+By SUSANNA W. DODDS, M.D.
+
+One large 12mo vol., 600 pp., extra cloth or oil-cloth, Price, $2.00.
+
+
+The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she
+is both a physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably
+the best work ever written on the healthful preparation of food, and
+should be in the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare
+food healthfully and palatably. The best way and the reason why are
+given. It is complete in every department. To show something of what is
+thought of this work, we copy a few brief extracts from the many
+
+
+NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
+
+ “This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome
+ food, and gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that
+ will make luxuries for the palate out of many simple productions of
+ Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”—_Home Journal._
+
+ “Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the
+ equal in all respects, and superior to many of its predecessors.
+ Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with all
+ the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an ample
+ household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs.
+ Dodds’ book, material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen
+ administration.”—_N. Y. Star._
+
+ “The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to
+ those who will intelligently appreciate the author’s stand-point.
+ And there are but few who will not concede that it would be a public
+ benefit if our people generally would become better informed as to the
+ better mode of living than the author intends.”—_Scientific American._
+
+ “She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is
+ eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes
+ for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is an educator of how to make
+ the home the abode of healthful people.”—_The Daily Inter-Ocean_,
+ Chicago, Ill.
+
+ “The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every
+ well-regulated cuisine.”—_Indianapolis Journal._
+
+ “As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery,
+ there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings the
+ subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an average
+ housekeeper.”—_Methodist Recorder._
+
+ “In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically,
+ and yet has made her instructions entirely practical. The book
+ will certainly prove useful, and if its precepts could be
+ universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably

+
+
+Healthful and Palatable.
+
+
+The most important question with all interested and intelligent
+housekeepers should be “What can I prepare for my table that will be
+HEALTHFUL and PALATABLE?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt
+Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention is given to
+the health and strength giving qualities of the dishes described, and
+a large part of the directions are useless (for never followed) and in
+many cases harmful (if tried).
+
+What is needed is a practical work in which these conditions are
+carefully considered and one which is simple enough to be easily
+understood.
+
+A recent publication, HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD, by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a
+lady physician and a practical housekeeper, covers this ground very
+fully and can be recommended. It considers the value of the different
+food products, the best methods of preparation, and the reason why.
+
+ The Chicago _Inter-Ocean_ says: “She evidently knows what she is
+ writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It
+ is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;
+ it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful
+ people.”
+
+ “She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and
+ devotes the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to
+ good blood, strong bodies, and vigorous minds,” says _The New Haven
+ Register_.
+
+Housekeepers who consult this will be able to provide for the household
+that which will positively please and increase the happiness by
+increasing the healthful conditions.

+
+
+A FEW OF THE MANY NOTES FROM READERS.
+
+J. RUSS, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the
+colds question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the
+book—it is, in fact, invaluable, going to the very root of the question
+of sickness.” Mrs. W. O. THOMPSON, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N.
+Y., says: “I wish every friend I have could read it, and, only that
+hygienists never harbor ill-feeling, that my enemies might not chance
+to find it. I owe much to the truths made clear in ‘Natural Cure,’ and
+it is certain that to it and the professional attendance of the author,
+my sister-in-law owes her life and present robust health.”
+
+FROM A TEACHER.
+
+Mrs. S. S. GAGE, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y., says:
+“My friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to
+me. Thanks to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more;
+I am better in every way. I never could accomplish so much and with
+so little fatigue; and I am sure that all my intellectual work is of
+better quality than it ever was before.”
+
+FROM A HUSBAND.
+
+D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in
+‘Natural Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent
+intervals for forty years, return no more. Formerly I could not work
+for three days at a time, now I work right along. For this, as well as
+for the restoration of my wife to health, after we had given her up as
+fatally sick, I have to thank Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”
+
+FROM THE WIFE.
+
+Mrs. S. E. D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H. says: “I can not well express
+my gratitude for the benefit I have received from the book and its
+author’s personal counsel. Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly
+wonderful how the power of resting is increased under the influence of
+the regimen prescribed. I have distributed many copies of this book,
+and have known of a _life-long asthmatic cured, biliousness removed,
+perennial hay-fever banished_ for good, and other wonderful changes
+wrought, by means of the regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A friend
+remarked: ‘It is full of encouragement for those who wish to live in
+clean bodies.’ Another said: ‘It has proved to me that I have been
+committing slow suicide.’ Our minister says: ‘I have modified my diet
+and feel like a new man.’” To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s
+first book, “HOW TO FEED THE BABY”: “I have known of a number of babes
+changed from colicky, fretful children to happy well ones, making them
+a delight to their parents, by following its advice.”
+
+WILLIAM C. LANGLEY, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited
+from reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from
+inherited feebleness, or, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the
+need of making the most of their limited powers. I may add, that this
+work bears evidence that the author has had wide range, and extensive
+reading, together with a natural fitness for physiological and hygienic
+research, keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”
+
+Mrs. Dr. DENSMORE, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge
+of my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it
+of the publishers by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”
+
+THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY for September, 1883, speaks highly of the
+work, closing with, “the public has in this work a most valuable manual
+of hygiene.”
+
+THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for August, 1883, says: “It is an effort at
+impressing common-sense views of preserving and restoring health.”

+
+A STORY WORTH READING.
+
+ABOUT HUMAN NATURE.
+
+
+[Illustration: THE LABYRINTH (the inner ear)]
+
+We have recently published a volume containing a story of Human Nature
+which will be found of interest. It is called “The MAN WONDERFUL in
+the HOUSE BEAUTIFUL,” and is an allegory, teaching the principles of
+Physiology and Hygiene, and the effects of Stimulants and Narcotics.
+The House is the Body, in which the Foundations are the Bones, the
+Walls are Muscles, the Skin and Hair the Siding and Shingles, the
+head an Observatory in which are found a pair of Telescopes, and
+radiating from it are the nerves which are compared to a Telegraph,
+while communications are kept up with the Kitchen, Dining-room,
+Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is heated with a Furnace. There are
+also Mysterious Chambers, and the whole is protected by a Burglar
+Alarm. In studying the inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we
+learn of his growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he
+introduces. He finds that some of them are friends, others are doubtful
+acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this form, we ascertain
+the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and Stimulants.
+
+It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children will
+lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the Laws of
+Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten. The book will
+prove of great interest even to adults and those familiar with the
+subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A. Allen, are both regular
+physicians, and therefore the work is accurate and on a scientific
+basis. “Science in Story” has never been presented in a more attractive
+form. It is universally admitted that a large proportion of sickness
+comes from violations of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it
+is important that this subject should be understood by all, as in this
+way we may become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease.
+The reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It will
+be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is only
+$1.50. Address

+
+THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN,
+
+A READY PRESCRIBER AND HYGIENIC ADVISER, WITH REFERENCE TO THE CAUSES,
+PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
+
+“WHAT THEY SAY”—NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
+
+We give a few of the favorable notices which this work has received:
+
+
+ It possesses the most practical utility of any of the author’s works,
+ and is well adapted to give the reader an accurate idea of the
+ organization and functions of the human frame.—_New York Tribune._
+
+ The work is admirably simple, clear, and full, and no popular work
+ that we ever saw had half its claims to notice. We hope it may have a
+ wide circulation. Its mission is a most important one. It lies at the
+ foundation of all other missions of reform. Let the world be informed
+ in regard to the laws of health, and every other reform will have
+ its way cleared. Till then, every effort for moral and intellectual
+ improvement can be only partially and feebly effective.—_Boston
+ Ledger._
+
+ Without the fear of our family physician before our eyes, we say
+ that this is a very good book to have in families. It contains much
+ valuable instruction in the art of preserving and restoring health,
+ which every man of common sense, who understands anything about the
+ human frame, will see at once is, and must be, sound and reliable.
+ It might, almost any day, be the means of saving a valuable life. We
+ are honestly of the conviction that every household in the land would
+ lessen its complaints and doctor’s bills, if they would read it and
+ follow its suggestions.—_Boston Congregationalist._
+
+ The different cases upon which it treats number over _nine hundred_ in
+ each of which the symptoms, the cause, and the _manner of treatment
+ are given in full_.—_Clinton Tribune._
+
+ There is not a subject relating to health but what it treats upon, in
+ an able manner.—_Howard Gazette._
+
+ Its 516 pages abound with thousands of facts and suggestions of the
+ _highest importance to all_.—_Christian Inquirer._
+
+ It is the best work of the kind we have ever seen upon the subject,
+ and ought to be _in every family_.—_Advertiser._
+
+ It is very elaborate, and is one of the very best of medical works.
+ Every family should have a copy.—_Star of the West._
+
+ It is worth its weight in gold.—_Ellsworth Herald._
+
+ We know of no book comparable to this as THE BOOK for a
+ family.—_Columbia Democrat._
+
+ It is a very able and excellent work, and one which we can heartily
+ recommend to every family; it is everything that its name purports to
+ be.—_Scientific American._
+
+ It is a very comprehensive, valuable work, and cannot fail to exert a
+ salutary effect upon the public mind.—_Baltimore Sun._
+
+ We have no hesitancy in pronouncing it _a very useful book_, and one
+ which should be in the possession of _every family_.—_Beaver Dam
+ Republican._
+
+ Familiarity with its contents will save many dollars’ worth of drugs,
+ and avert many weary days and months of sickness.—_Musical World._
+
+ The work embodies _a vast amount_ of information in regard to the
+ structure and diseases of the human frame, which will be read with
+ profit.—_N. England Farmer._
+
+ Not only are diseases described, and the appropriate treatment pointed
+ out, but numerous examples are given, which cannot fail to interest
+ the reader, and prove a _very acceptable family directory_.—_Boston
+ Traveler._
+
+ It is exceedingly comprehensive, and well illustrated. It contains
+ a great deal of information and sound advice, which every reader,
+ whatever his views on medicine, would consider valuable.—_New York
+ Courier._
+
+ A complete encyclopædia of every disease to which the human family is
+ heir, _with the cure for each disease_.—_Day Book._
+
+ The Author has brought together a mass of information in reference
+ to the human structure, its growth and its treatment, which will
+ render his work of great use to readers _of all classes and
+ conditions_.—_Philadelphia Daily Times._

+
+Brain and Mind,
+
+OR, MENTAL SCIENCE CONSIDERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF
+PHRENOLOGY AND IN RELATION TO MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
+
+By H. S. Drayton, A.M., M.D., and James McNeill, A.B. Illustrated with
+over One Hundred Portraits and Diagrams. $1.50.
+
+
+The authors state in their preface: “In preparing this volume it has
+been the aim to meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise which
+not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental
+science known as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to Anatomy
+and Physiology, as those sciences are represented today by standard
+authority.” [Illustration: Phrenological Head]
+
+The following, from the Table of Contents, shows the scope and
+character of the work:
+
+  GENERAL PRINCIPLES.
+  THE TEMPERAMENTS.
+  STRUCTURE OF THE BRAIN AND SKULL.
+  CLASSIFICATION OF THE FACULTIES.
+  THE SELFISH ORGANS.
+  THE INTELLECT.
+  THE SEMI-INTELLECTUAL FACULTIES.
+  THE ORGANS OF THE SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.
+  THE SELFISH SENTIMENTS.
+  THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS.
+  HOW TO EXAMINE HEADS.
+  HOW CHARACTER IS MANIFESTED.
+  THE ACTION OF THE FACULTIES.
+  THE RELATION OF PHRENOLOGY TO METAPHYSICS AND EDUCATION.
+  VALUE OF PHRENOLOGY AS AN ART.
+  PHRENOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY.
+  OBJECTIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS BY THE PHYSIOLOGISTS.
+  PHRENOLOGY IN GENERAL LITERATURE.
+
+
+Notices of the Press.
+
+Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed at. The scientific researches
+of the last twenty years have demonstrated the fearful and wonderful
+complication of matter, not only with mind, but with what we call moral
+qualities. Thereby, we believe, the divine origin of “our frame” has
+been newly illustrated, and the Scriptural psychology confirmed: and
+in the Phrenological Chart we are disposed to find a species of “urim
+and thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s will concerning us, at
+least His revelation of essential character. One thing is certain,
+that the discoveries of physical science must ere long force all men
+to the single alternative of Calvinism or Atheism. When they see that
+God has written himself sovereign, absolute, and predestinating, on
+the records of His creation, they will be ready to find His writing
+as clearly in the Word; and the analogical argument, meeting the
+difficulties and the objections on the side of Faith by those admitted
+as existing on the side of Sight, will avail as well in one case as
+in the other. We will only add, the above work is, without doubt, the
+best popular presentation of the science which has yet been made. It
+confines itself strictly to facts, and is not written in the interest
+of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its copious
+illustrations, pictorial and narrative, and the whole is brought down
+to the latest information on this curious and suggestive department of
+knowledge.—_Christian Intelligencer._
+
+As far as a comprehensive view of the teachings of Combe can be
+embodied into a system that the popular mind can understand, this book
+is as satisfactory an exposition of its kind as has yet been published.
+The definitions are clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—_Philadelphia
+Enquirer._
+
+
+In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds
+with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the
+work constitutes by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and
+is adapted to both private and class study.
+
+The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most
+part from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and
+great pains have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance
+of the text in each case. For the student of human nature and character
+the work is of the highest value.

+
+
+HUMAN-NATURE.
+
+
+If you want something to read that will interest you more thoroughly
+than any book you have ever read, send for a copy of HEADS AND FACES,
+a new Manual of Character Reading for the people. It will show you
+how to read people as you would a book, and see if they are inclined
+to be good, upright, honest, true, kind, charitable, loving, joyous,
+happy and trustworthy people, such as you would like to know; or are
+they by nature untrustworthy, treacherous and cruel, uncharitable and
+hard-hearted, fault-finding, jealous, domineering people whom you would
+not want to have intimate with yourselves or your families.
+
+A knowledge of Human-Nature will enable you to judge of all this at
+sight, and to choose for yourselves and children such companions as
+will tend to make you and them better, purer, more noble and ambitious
+to do and to be right, and would save many disappointments in social
+and business relations. It will aid in choosing and governing servants,
+training children, and deciding whom to trust in all the affairs of
+life. If you would know people without waiting to become acquainted
+with them, read HEAD AND FACES and How to Study Them, a new manual
+of Character Reading, by Prof. Nelson Sizer, the Examiner in the
+phrenological office of Fowler & Wells Co., New York, and H. S.
+Drayton, M. D., Editor of the PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL. The authors know
+what they are writing about, Prof. Sizer having devoted more than forty
+years almost exclusively to the reading of character and he here lays
+down the rules employed by him in his professional work.
+
+The study of this subject is most fascinating, and you will certainly
+be much interested in it. Send for this book, which is the most
+comprehensive and popular work ever published for the price, 25,000
+copies having been sold the first year. Contains 200 large octavo
+pages, 250 Portraits and other Illustrations.

-

-<p><i>Gentlemen</i>:—I have read with great interest a sermon by Rev. Mr.

-Clymer, of Auburn, on “The Relation of Food to Morals,” as it

-appeared in the Auburn <i>Daily Advertiser</i> of June 20th, 1880. Certainly

-everything stands related to morals; and all men, women,

-and children should be made to see and feel this.</p>

-

-<p>I suppose I am considered an old-fashioned preacher. I believe

-in “original sin,” and I believe in a great deal of sin that is not

-original. I believe that every man is so corrupt that he can never

-be made pure without supernatural influence; and I believe that

-he must take advantage, at the same time, of all the natural helps.

-Even the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot make the saint who

-is in the flesh, feel alert and happy, so long as he has any serious

-obstruction of the biliary duct. When I was a younger pastor in a

-Southern city, I was called by a mother to see her daughter, a girl

-of eighteen, who was in a dreadful way, inconsolably laboring under

-the oppressive feeling that there was no mercy for her. I prescribed

-for her torpid liver as my knowledge of the healing art

-enabled me to do, promising to call again soon. When I did call,

-the young lady was relieved, and I was able to secure her attention

-to the comfortable truths of our most holy faith. It is first the natural,

-and then the spiritual; St. Paul, 1 Cor. xv. 46: “Howbeit that

-was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward

-that which is spiritual.”

-We must always feel our dependence on the spirit of God for

-our regeneration and sanctification, but not in such a way as to

-make fools of us. The man whose faith in the supernatural makes

-him depreciate the natural, has no more sense than he whose faith

-in the natural utterly excludes super-nature.</p>

-

-<p>I think you would do a good work to issue Mr. Clymer’s discourse

-as one of a series of tracts proclaiming the gospel of hygiene. Will

-you not do it?</p>

-<span class="xs">A SERMON PREACHED BY</span><br />

-<small>REV. J. F. CLYMER</small>,</h2>

-<p class="center"><span class="smcap"><small>In the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Auburn, New York,<br />

-On Sunday, June 20th, 1880</small></span>.

-<blockquote>

-

-<p>“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey

-the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and that when

-they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, then shall

-his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto

-the elders of his city, and unto the gates of his place; and they

-shall say unto the elders of his city: <i>This our son is stubborn and rebellious;

-he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.</i>”—<span class="smcap">Deut.</span>

-xxi. 18-20.</p></blockquote>

-

-

-<p>We have had much teaching that has left the

-impression on our minds that the soul is the

-<i>only</i> source and seat of all the vice in human

-life. Because it is written “The imaginations

-of the thoughts of the natural heart, are only

-evil continually,” total depravity has been

-fixed on the spirit nature of man; that is, all the

-bad or immoral elements entering into human

-life have been attributed to the innate or inborn

-ugliness of the soul. Accepting the Scriptural

-truth that “the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” we have come to think that sin has its <i>center</i>,

-<i>seat</i>, <i>source and circumference</i> in the soul, or

-the immaterial nature of man. Hence we readily

-admit the fact that influences, good or bad, may

-pass over from the soul to the body, but we do

-not so readily admit that <i>other</i> fact, equally<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>

-true, that influence good or bad may go over

-from the <i>body</i> to the soul. The road over

-which vicious thoughts and lustful imaginations

-pass from the soul to the body is the highway

-over which unbridled appetites, unrestrained

-passions and unsubdued lusts in the body may

-go to the soul, goading it to the wildest conceptions

-of vice and lecherous imaginations. The

-warm rays of the sun may gender rottenness in

-the muddy pool; so also will the effluvia from

-the pool poison the sunlight near it. The soul

-by its vicious thoughts and imaginations will

-entail an immoral tone on the body; so also

-will the body react on the soul, by its appetites,

-passions and propensities, increasing the viciousness

-of the soul by pushing it to courses

-of vice not directly and immediately its own.

-In our text is found an illustration of this

-thought. A father and mother bring their

-stubborn and rebellious son to the elders of the

-Jewish church. They assign, as the cause of

-his stubbornness and rebellion, gluttony and

-drunkenness, than which there are no vices

-that demoralize the body more, or goad the

-soul to greater crimes. Hear it:</p>

-

-<p>“This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he

-will not obey our voice, he is a glutton and a

-drunkard.” That is, bad conditions of the

-physical nature, wrought by gluttony and

-drunkenness, have made him stubborn and rebellious.

-It will not help the case to say that

-his stubbornness and rebellion caused his

-gluttony and drunkenness, for if they did, then

-his soul must act on the body. His morals

-must influence his manners, and therefore his

-manners must reflect on his morals; they must

-interact, which is just the point we make; that

-his appetite and lust fire the temperament or dis<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span>position,

-and a fiery disposition provokes appetite

-and lust to wilder indulgences.</p>

-

-<p>A remarkable fact, in this day of advanced

-science and revelation, is that Christians and

-moralists in their work of reform have paid so

-little attention to the influence of the body on

-the soul. Jesus Christ more than any other

-teacher or reformer recognized the demoralizing

-and debasing influence of bad bodily conditions.

-Hence he almost always healed maladies of the

-body before he entered his principles upon the

-soul. It is true that his many miracles on the

-bodies of men were primarily intended to reveal

-his divinity; yet divinity in its manifestations

-always runs over the whole line of the natural

-before passing into the supernatural; therefore

-Christ’s miracles on the bodies of men had a

-sanitary side to them. The man with the leprosy

-was in the poorest condition bodily to hear

-favorably any talk about moral sweetness;

-hence Christ healed his diseased body, in connection

-with his moral teachings. His example

-with the blind and hungry and deaf in this respect

-ought not to go for nothing with those of

-us who seek to save men in our day. Philanthropists

-and Christians for the most part have

-overlooked the power of a debased body on the

-soul. They forget that Paul likens a body that

-has sinful habitudes to a thing of death, as

-compared with the soul that seeks to live the

-new life in Christ Jesus. Therefore good men

-have labored to create in themselves and those

-whom they seek to reform, certain emotional

-conditions of the spirit, by a tenacious adherence

-to creeds, or the patient performance of a

-set round of religious duties, and all this regardless

-of bad physical conditions begotten by

-bad habits of eating and drinking. While they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>

-have been struggling to bring their own souls

-and the souls of others into holy attitudes, all

-the basilar forces of the body have run riot

-within, and perhaps beyond, the pale of human

-customs and human laws. If you want to

-empty a boiler of steam, it will not help you

-much by lifting the safety valve if you still

-keep water in the boiler and fire in the furnace.

-Prayer, Bible reading and Psalm singing will

-not help a man much to get rid of his sins, if

-he keeps up a set of bodily habits which fire

-the body and inflame the soul to continue its

-sinning. That you may see the connection

-more clearly between vice and victuals, let me

-show you how food may damage our bodies

-and demoralize our souls.</p>

-

-<p>I am fully aware of the difficulties I encounter

-in entering this thought on your minds.

-Because religion has been considered as having

-little or nothing to do with the body, I shall

-encounter the settled opinions of good men to

-this effect. Because our popular methods of

-eating have the sanction of custom and the defense

-of long established habits, I may not

-criticise them without losing the favor of those

-who are content with things as they are. Because

-I shall call in question many indulgences

-of appetite hitherto considered sinless, I shall

-run the risk of being called a fanatic or fool.

-Because I shall preach the New Testament

-doctrine of self-denial many will say this is a

-hard saying—“who can bear it?” But with

-the hope that I may unfold to you a glorious

-realm of liberty from the bondage of bodily

-propensities, I cheerfully do my duty and leave

-the consequences for God to look after.</p>

-

-<p>Very few of us are aware of the great physical

-demoralization and spiritual wickedness,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span>

-brought on us and our children, by bad habits

-of eating, as to the kind of food, the mode of

-its preparation, and the manner and times of

-taking it. We refuse to think of our indulgences

-of appetite as the cause of our physical

-ailments and premature death, and much less

-will we allow ourselves to believe that these indulgences

-have anything to do with forming

-our morals or shaping our characters or determining

-our eternal destiny.</p>

-

-<p>And yet I aver, without the fear of successful

-refutation, that three-fourths of all our bodily

-ailments or diseases, and many of our immoral

-acts, are the legitimate results of improper

-dietetic habits. If these habits do not effect us

-directly, they do so indirectly by lowering the

-tone of the whole system, physical and moral,

-causing us to break down prematurely into

-some disease or deviltry, under the pressure of

-legitimate toil or immoral provocation. How

-is it possible to account for the death of one

-half the human family before five years of age,

-unless we trace it to the violation of physical

-laws in some way connected with the eating

-habits alike of parent and child? Many children

-enter the world with such a low state of

-inherited physical vitality, and so little moral

-tone, that they are unable to resist the attacks

-of bodily disease or throw it off when on them,

-and much less able to throw off moral disease

-and rise above their immoral heritage if spared

-to pass through childhood to years of maturity.

-Such children not only carry in their little

-bodies the physical weaknesses of their parents,

-but also the specific immoral tendencies found

-in the conditions of their parentage. And

-more than this, should their endowment of vitality

-be sufficient to carry them over the death<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span>

-line for infants, they are subject to such unnatural

-relations to dress and diet that it becomes

-a natural impossibility for them to live. In this

-way many children die prematurely, not by

-the arbitrary edict of God, but by the violation

-of law. And if God should save their lives by

-special suspension of his laws, more damage

-would be done to the moral harmony of the

-universe than to let them die. I know it is

-a common custom to ascribe all sickness and

-death to the direct and arbitrary action of Divine

-Providence. That is, if one overeats, or eats

-innutritious food, or at improper times, making

-himself sickly, so that he becomes an easy prey

-to disease, and dies suddenly or at the noon

-tide of life, all the good people say—“What a

-strange Providence!” As if God had everything

-to do with such a death, and the deceased had

-little or nothing to do with it. I incline to the

-opinion that Divine Providence has little or

-nothing to do with such deaths only in so far as

-Divine Providence is in the laws of life violated.

-The primary cause of all premature deaths is

-violated law. God does not arbitrarily kill

-anybody. Most of those who die in infancy or

-in early life, come to death by the violation of

-God’s laws written in their bodies. If these

-laws were obeyed in us and in our ancestry,

-most of us ought to live beyond three score

-years and ten, and drop from this life into the

-other in a ripe, mellow old age, just as ripe

-fruit drops from its bough in autumn time.

-But you ask where is God in the many untimely

-deaths that occur? I answer He is present in

-his great hearted goodness to help the dying to

-an eternal victory over death, if they will only

-let Him. He is present to bind up the hearts

-that are breaking with sorrow for the departed,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span>

-and to make a sudden, untimely, and needless

-death a monument of warning to those still

-living, thus making the wrath of man to praise

-Him. If therefore our children die in infancy,

-because we have entailed on them feeble bodies

-by our violation of law, God does not kill them,

-but they die through violated law, and he in

-His goodness takes the little ones to His bosom,

-the seat and source of all law. Let us not then

-charge our sorrows to the willful enactment of

-our Heavenly Father. He taketh no pleasure

-in the death of him that dieth. When he gives

-life to us, He intends that we shall keep it as

-long as possible.</p>

-

-<p>Having given us life, all the forces of His

-boundless nature are engaged to maintain it in

-us until He is ready to harvest us as the farmer

-does the ripened grain. The God of nature and

-the God of grace are not in antagonism. “The

-one God is in all and over all.” A kingdom

-divided against itself cannot stand. If, therefore,

-we die this side of three score years and

-ten—seventy years—we die untimely. It is

-high time that good men were awake to this

-fact, and ceased charging over to Divine Providence

-what legitimately belongs to ourselves.

-“Jesus Christ came to destroy him that hath

-the power of death, that is the devil;” and

-when the philosophy of Jesus is wrought up

-into human lives by obedience to physical laws,

-the power of disease and death over our bodies

-will be very much broken. The victory over

-death can be so far achieved by men in the

-body that they need not die until their minds

-and hearts have received all the development

-in this world that infinite love ordains. That is,

-men may so baffle the monster of death by

-obedience to law as to keep him at bay until<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span>

-their souls have taken on such Christly ripeness

-that they shall burst and break their bodies,

-as the ripening chestnuts break their burrs

-under the frosts of autumn. We have, therefore,

-no right to ascribe to supernatural agency

-any phenomena which can be explained on

-natural principles. Disobedience to law brings

-penalties. There is nothing that men need to

-see more in their efforts at reform than the connection

-between their sufferings and their disobedience.

-Now, disobedience to the laws of life

-brings the penalties, sickness and premature

-death. There is no field where our disobedience

-manifests itself more frequently and with so

-little thought of consequences, as in our false

-and unnatural habits of eating and drinking,

-which damage the body and demoralize the

-soul.</p>

-

-<p>“The Blood is the Life.” This is the declaration

-alike of revelation and of science. Evolutionary

-processes may induce a variation in

-the form or number of the blood corpuscles,

-but they can not set aside the law that the

-building and rebuilding of all the organs involved

-in bodily or mental acts comes from

-the blood alone. The physical, mental and

-moral natures are so intimately connected that

-that which affects one, affects the others. So

-that a man’s mental and moral nature, as well

-as his physical, can very largely be determined

-by the quality of his blood. Now it is a physiological

-fact that our blood is made out of the

-food we eat. That food which enters the mouth

-and is assimilated, makes blood. By the

-marvelous processes of digestion and assimilation

-our food is transformed into blood; and

-the blood passing through the veins and arteries

-repairs the waste tissues and forms new ones,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span>

-thus building up our bodies and sustaining life.

-It follows then that our bodies are made of the

-food we eat. Evidently it was the design of

-our Creator that the prime object of eating

-should be the building up of tissue—muscles,

-bones and brains. That this may be a pleasure

-to us, He has associated with eating the delights

-of appetite. But most of us have so far perverted

-the divine order as to make the pleasures

-of appetite the chief object of eating. “Give

-us something <i>good</i> to eat,” is the great cry of

-humanity, and the goodness of food is gauged

-by the sensations of the palate and not by the

-law of nutrition. Most of us determine the

-goodness of our food by the amount of sensual

-delight it imparts to the palate, no matter how

-much damage it may do beyond to the delicate

-and intricate structure of the stomach and

-viscera. Hence a vast amount of food enters

-the mouth that makes bad blood, blood that in

-itself is corrupt, and carries poisonous particles

-to every organ in the system, putting us

-in splendid condition to be easily provoked to

-some outburst of anger, passion or revenge.

-My hearers, there is a sure and vital connection

-between bad blood and bad morals. Blood

-always tells in morals as well as in muscles.

-Blood has power throughout the whole realm

-of life, whether it be in a human body, in society,

-or in the body of a horse on the racecourse.</p>

-

-<p>You ask, what kind of food makes bad blood?

-I answer, very much of the flesh of animals, that

-forms the staple diet of most of us. Sty-fed

-pigs and stall-fed oxen are fattened under the

-most unlawful and unhealthful conditions possible;

-shut up in the dark, cut off from exercise,

-the fat deposited on their bodies is made<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span>

-up of the waste matter that the life-forces of the

-animal have been unable to expel. This waste

-fatty matter, surcharged with unexpelled excretions,

-is liable to induce disease in all who

-consume it. It has established tuberculosis in

-captive lions, and in cats and dogs, and in other

-carnivora; and it were folly to assume that

-mankind, feeding upon such poisonous food,

-should wholly escape. Even in the living animal

-this effete unexpelled poisonous waste

-breeds vermin, such as have been found in pork,

-which cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking

-or by the process of digestion, and hence live

-and generate in the human body, producing disease

-and death. I am not now making a plea

-for the absolute disuse of animal food, but

-against the bad quality of very much of it, and

-also against the inordinate use of that which

-may be good in quality. A certain amount of

-animal food is useful for our nourishment, especially

-in winter time, because of its heat producing

-qualities. But meat every day, and at

-every meal, is in no way necessary for the

-proper sustenance of the human system.</p>

-

-<p>The use of large quantities of animal food,

-however free from disease-germs, as a <i>staple</i>

-article of diet makes the blood gross, coarse and

-corrupt, filling the body with scrofulous elements,

-sending poison to every part of the system,

-causing it to break out in running sores,

-salt-rheum, tetter and the like, producing an

-inordinate appetite, throwing every organ of

-the body into frictional relations to every other

-organ. It is a matter of every-day surprise to

-me that any human being will consent to eat

-the flesh of pigs. Consider their uncleanness,

-their selfish, greedy habits, the vast amount of

-corruption that enters into their bodies, their<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span>

-want of exercise, their impure breathing, their

-lack of sudorific glands or emunctories,

-through which effete tissues and morbid accumulations

-may be expelled; and think, when

-you eat pork, of the train of horrid elements

-which enter into your body. And your body

-thus debased by a low order of animal flesh,

-the effect must be to make you take on the disposition

-and tendencies of the hog. God’s bill

-of fare in the eleventh chapter of Leviticus

-excluded from the tables of the Jews the hog

-and all water animals except those that had

-fins and scales. This bill of fare was given to

-the Jews not only for the preservation of their

-health, but, as God’s great purpose was moral

-reform, He had an eye single to their moral

-condition in the matter of their eating. Does

-any one doubt that the unhealthy, ugly, and

-vicious elements that make up the flesh of most

-of the animals we eat, enter our blood, and in

-that way affect the disposition or carriage of

-the soul? I am confident, if there was less demand

-for animal food the quality would be

-very much better. Animals would not be subject

-to false and unhealthy generation, and

-false and hasty methods of growth. They

-would come up more in keeping with the laws

-of their nature, and come to us with more

-healthy and better qualities. As for the hog,

-if man would not domesticate him, he could

-not propagate his species. He would become

-extinct just like the lion, leopard, and hyena,

-under the march of civilization. As the blessings

-of civilized life reach us, you notice the

-carnivorous or flesh-eating animals become

-extinct. So it seems to me that with the developments

-of civilization there ought to be such

-moral refinements in human beings that they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>

-would grow away from their carnivorous tendencies,

-and eat such food as tends to develop

-the mental and moral faculties, and not the

-animal propensities. Among animals you find

-that those that live on the flesh of other animals

-are the most vicious and destructive, such

-as the lion, leopard, and hyena. Those animals

-that live on the grains and the higher

-order of foods are the best, most beautiful,

-and most useful, such as the horse and cow.

-If this law obtains among animals, why not

-among men? Beyond a doubt it does. If you

-want proof of this, study the character and

-lives of those who live largely on animal food,

-and you will find them very animal-like in all

-their relations—restive, impatient, passionate,

-ugly in their ways, fiery in their disposition,

-easily provoked, readily put out of humor.

-And if you could look into their private lives

-you would find all their baser qualities having

-the fullest sway, stopping, it may be, inside

-the fence of human laws and customs, but seldom

-considering the claims of a higher and

-divine law. I charge, then, very much of our

-household misery, domestic woe, and connubial

-wretchedness, to unrestrained lust begotten

-in the body by the inordinate use of animal

-food.</p>

-

-<p>We forget, my hearers, that the great law of

-nature, “Like produces like,” is universal.

-“Every seed after its kind is the law of all

-creation.” There is no exception to this law.

-This principle obtains not only in the production

-of life, but in the processes of its development.

-If my position about the intimacy of

-soul and body is true, then, if a man’s body is

-made up chiefly of flesh taken from diseased

-animals, and his whole physical frame is satu<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span>rated

-with the irritating and exciting condiments

-of what is popularly called good food,

-the whole bias of his bodily powers will be

-toward animalism. All the impressions and

-impulses that the soul receives from such a

-body are beastly and debasing. Like produces

-like in the formation of physical tissue out of

-food, as well as in the generation of stock in

-the stall. Hence I hold that very much of the

-wickedness of mankind is the natural expression

-of physical beastliness rather than the outflow

-of innate viciousness. A body made up

-largely of all manner of nerve-goading, passion-producing,

-anger-generating elements,

-such as are found in the gross animal dishes

-with their stimulating adjuncts, just as surely

-drives the soul to sin as a tempest drives a

-feather before it.</p>

-

-<p>As modern research has proved that bad or

-imperfect food when digested surely makes bad

-or imperfect blood, incapable of performing its

-appointed work of upbuilding and of reparation,

-so has science demonstrated that perfect

-food is one of the most potent among remedies

-for the relief of many diseased conditions.

-Since the blood is the life, and since blood is

-merely food emulsified, mingled with certain

-digestive fluids and colored by the oxygen with

-which it is brought in contact in the lungs—it

-is easy to understand how perfect food may

-create perfect blood, which shall presently

-supplant that which is feeble, that which is

-lacking in waste-repairing power, that which

-fails to give strength to the muscles or vigor to

-the brain, and may thus become the most

-effective medicine. A perusal of recent professional

-medical literature evinces the great

-stress which is now laid upon dietetics in the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span>

-treatment of all diseases. The approach to this

-high altitude has been gradual, but sure. At

-first foods were made the vehicles for drugs;

-and cod-liver oil and malt-extracts, which are

-only concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon

-varieties, were loaded with lime and iron and

-strychnine and phosphorous and scores of

-other drugs. But perfect results were secured

-by the use of these foods without the drug

-additions, and so the foods were at last given

-the credit which all along belonged to them.

-And so it has come to pass that with advanced

-medical men, in a vast majority of cases of

-sickness, the support of the life-powers by

-proper nutrients is the foremost thought, the

-best food proving to be the best medicine.</p>

-

-<p>The kind of food a man eats, and the time

-and manner of his eating it, are not merely a

-question of medicine, but one of the first questions

-of morals. The effects of food on the

-passions and feelings are thus described by

-Prior:</p>

-

-<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">

-  <div class="verse">“Observe the various operations</div>

-  <div class="verse">Of food and drink in several nations;</div>

-  <div class="verse">Was ever Tartar fierce and cruel</div>

-  <div class="verse">Upon the strength of water gruel?</div>

-  <div class="verse">But who shall stand his rage and force</div>

-  <div class="verse">And if I take Don Confrere right,</div>

-  <div class="verse">Pudding and beef make Britons fight.”</div>

-</div></div></div>

-

-<p>If, therefore, our meat has something to do

-with our morals, or if our food in some way

-affects our faith, it seems to me that many of

-our efforts at moral reform ought to be preceded

-by instruction in hygiene. In other

-words, efforts to make a man genuinely devotional

-ought to be prefaced by efforts to correct

-bad dietetic habits. A father, by prayer and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span>

-precept and flogging, had done his best to reform

-his boy, whose staple diet was meat and

-sausage and pie and cake at his meals, with

-lunch between. The family physician said to

-the father, “If you will put a leech back of

-each of your boy’s ears once a week for a

-month, you will do more to reform him than

-your preaching and pounding will do in a

-year.” The father asked for the philosophy

-of this prescription. “Why,” said the doctor,

-“your boy has bad blood, and too much of it;

-he must behave badly or he would burst.”

-“Then,” said the father, “I’ll change his diet

-from beef and pie to hominy and milk.” In

-three months thereafter a better boy for his

-age could not be found in the neighborhood.

-The acrid, biting, evil blood had not become

-food for leeches, but it had done its wicked

-work and passed away, and a cooler, blander,

-purer, safer blood had been supplied from

-sweeter, gentler food sources.</p>

-

-<p>In your use of animal food be very particular

-as to quality and quantity. Lamb and

-mutton are considered the most healthy by the

-authorities. Avoid as you would contagion

-the use of pork, unless you raise it yourselves,

-and feed it with good grain, and not the refuse

-of the house or barn, and keep the animals as

-clean as you do your pet dogs. Never fry

-your meat with hogs’ lard, but stew, bake,

-boil, or broil it. Use hogs’ lard in no form for

-cooking. Most of it is said to be reeking with

-scrofulous elements. Displace it in <i>all</i> your

-cooking by milk or butter. If you want to

-aid and not hinder the growth of your soul

-Godward, if you desire to have pure

-thoughts and a pure heart and a pure life, see

-that you make your blood out of pure food, or<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span>

-you will find that your soul will have an enemy

-within the castle of its body more treacherous

-and deadly than any of its enemies

-without.</p>

-

-<p>There is another popular article of food

-among us, which has a vital connection with

-bodily disorders and bad exhibition of character.

-Good in proper quantities and in its

-sphere, when made the largest and chief article

-of diet, for every meal, the one kind of food

-upon which we depend most for building up

-the wastes of our bodies, it indirectly does

-great damage. I refer to the ordinary fine

-flour bread made out of bolted wheat meal.</p>

-

-<p>It is proper to remember that the white flour

-from which our bread is chiefly made, and

-which is deemed the staff of life, is a purely

-artificial product—a selection from that perfect

-food combination which exists in wheat. A

-competent food chemist has compared the regular

-milling processes to one by which the fat

-part of an ox should be saved for food, and the

-lean part—the albuminous or nitrogenous portion—discarded

-and given to the dogs. The

-comparison is well based, since the starch of

-wheat, which is valued because of its whiteness,

-is a carbo-hydrate, chemically allied to

-the fat of meat; while the dark nutriment of

-wheat, which, because of its color, is discarded

-with the bran with which it is found in

-contact in nature, is a vegetable nitrogenous

-albumen, rich in mineral elements, and almost

-identical, chemically, with the lean or muscular

-tissue of beef.</p>

-

-<p>The process of bolting or refining takes from

-the wheat most of the phosphates and nitrates,

-the elements that are chiefly required for

-making nerves, muscles, bones, and brains.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span>

-The phosphates and nitrates being removed by

-bolting, very little remains in the flour except

-the starchy carbonates, the heat and fat producing

-elements. The use of fine flour bread

-as a staple article of food introduces too much

-heat and fat-producing elements into the system,

-and where there is too much carbon or

-heating substance, it tends rather to provoke

-the system to unnatural and abnormal action,

-and instead of serving as an element to warm

-the body, its tendency is to burn or consume,

-heating and irritating all the organs, getting

-one into that state which is popularly known

-as “hot-blooded.”

-The fine white flour ordinarily used has two-thirds

-of the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment

-that God put in the wheat taken out.

-Unless these deficiencies are made up by some

-other foods, the exclusive use of fine flour

-bread will leave the nerves and bones poorly

-nourished, producing in some systems nervousness,

-dyspepsia, and all the physical ills

-that follow these diseases, together with impatience,

-fretfulness, and irritability. God intended

-that all the nutritive properties He put

-in the wheat should stay in it for purposes of

-symmetrical nourishment. Fine flour bread

-may be used for purposes of producing heat in

-the system, but it does not feed hungry nerves

-or starving bones.</p>

-

-<p>One reason why children fed chiefly on white

-bread feel hungry nearly all the time, and demand

-so much food between meals, is found in

-the fact that their bodies are insufficiently

-nourished. Their bones and nerves not receiving

-the nitrates and phosphates they need, are

-suffering from hunger.</p>

-

-<p>When children are fed with food that thor<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span>oughly

-nourishes their whole system, they will

-seldom desire to eat between meals and thus retard

-the process of digestion and lay the foundation

-for dyspepsia and all its kindred evils.</p>

-

-<p>Flour made of all the nutriment of pure

-white wheat, unbolted, yet without the shell or

-husk or bran, contains all the elements necessary

-for the nourishment of the body. The

-flour called Graham flour rarely contains these

-elements. There is a great deal of bogus stuff

-in the market, which has brought the genuine

-article into disrepute, and made many thoughtful

-people disgusted with everything in that

-line. Very much that is called Graham flour is

-made up of a mixture of fine bolted flour, and

-the woody fibre of the wheat, which has no

-nutriment in it at all. This wretched fabrication

-has tended to make all whole wheat

-products unpopular. The woody bran is

-worse than worthless as food, or to mix with

-food. You might as well eat the shells of nuts,

-or the husks of corn, or the skins of potatoes,

-as the silex coats of wheat. To overload the

-alimentary canal with such foreign indigestible

-matter has no other tendency but to

-weaken and debilitate it. Very few millers

-trouble themselves to make a perfect whole

-wheat flour. I know but one establishment in

-the world where wheat and other grains are

-treated precisely as they should be, with all

-the harmful part removed and the rest made

-digestible by harmless methods, and that is the

-Health Food Company of New York.<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a></p>

-food given to man except the pure gluten of

-wheat. I am not now advocating the views of

-the extremists, the Grahamites, neither do I

-counsel the disuse of fine flour bread. This

-latter should be used in connection with unbolted

-flour, but should not be relied on to

-furnish you with all the nutritious elements

-than which there are few better foods for growing

-children and hard working adults. Instead

-of fried cakes, rich pastry, and candies, use

-fruit, of which there is an abundant variety,

-ten-fold more nourishing than pies or cakes,

-and very cleansing to the blood. Let brown

-bread, Johnnie-cake, and corn-meal pudding

-supplant fine wheat bread as much as possible.

-Eat your meals regularly and slowly, eating

-nothing between them. Eat sparingly of meat

-at mid-day, and let it be good fresh beef, mutton,

-or fish, well cooked. Let the evening meal

-be taken not later than six o’clock. Discard

-

-<p>Again, we derange our bodies and demoralize

-our souls by eating too much. The great

-end of life with many of us is to eat. The

-American dining-room has become, for the most

-part, a place for the indulgence of animalism,

-and not for the development of the affections

-or social qualities. A distinguished American

-physician said: “I am sixty-six years old, and

-I have eaten enough food to answer my wants

-for 100 years, and yet I am what most people

-call a small eater.” The popular habit of using,

-inordinately, appetizers in the shape of the

-ordinary table condiments, begets a false and

-unnatural appetite. The time comes when

-honest food palls upon the depraved senses.

-The pampered, jaded appetite no longer finds

-satisfaction in simple food-flavors; the palate

-must be prompted with pungent things. The

-cook, who is never a physiologist, responds to

-the demand for spurs to appetite, and finds

-them in mixtures of spices and peppers and

-mustards and acids and essential oils and

-chemicals, and multitudes of non-food substances.

-With these, and various biting alcohols,

-the delicate lining of the stomach is inflamed,

-inducing a desire for food which

-passes for what it is not, namely, honest

-appetite. The palate demands more food than

-the stomach can digest or the system assimilate.

-Poor nature, anxious to do the best she

-can, adapts herself to the unnatural situation,

-and forces all the other organs to do the same;

-and thus we become accustomed to over-eating

-and do not know it.</p>

-

-<p>That all who accustom themselves to a stim<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span>ulating

-diet, to spices and wines and other irritating

-things, consume too much food, cannot,

-I think, be gainsayed. The amount and kind

-of food needed depends upon the individual

-habits and the kind of waste to be supplied. A

-wholly idle man should thrive well on cucumbers

-and water-melons, which are chiefly water;

-while the hard-working hod-carrier would

-demand several pounds of solid carbon and

-nitrogen daily. It is the sedentary, the well-to-do,

-the man of leisure, who suffers most

-from over-eating; and it behooves him to carefully

-avoid all goads and spurs to appetite.

-With the simplest flavors he is nearly certain

-to over-eat and thus to suffer. With an appetite

-stimulated and induced, without corresponding

-out-door labor to create a genuine need and

-demand for it, digestive failure and assimilative

-bankruptcy is only a question of time.</p>

-

-<p>The stomach, overloaded, performs its work

-imperfectly, and thus imposes on all the organs

-an extra amount of work, which breaks them

-down prematurely, causing diseases of every

-kind, such as nervous headache, sick headache,

-rush of blood to the head, apoplexy, sore

-eyes, deafness, erysipelas, neuralgia of the

-face, decayed teeth, catarrh, bronchitis, asthma,

-nausea, common colic, congestion of the liver,

-and a host of other diseases too unpleasant to

-mention. In some cases there is a disposition

-of too much fatty matter in the system; and

-many people suppose that fatness is a sign of

-healthfulness, which is false. No one needs

-any more fat on his body than is essential to

-form cushions for his tendons and muscles; if

-too much, there is a depletion of strength.</p>

-

-<p>The crowded and overloaded condition of the

-system makes the body take on very many<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span>

-false manifestations. The irritation produced

-in an overcharged system manifests itself in

-different forms in different individuals. In some

-it produces nervousness, making them rack

-the flesh off their bones and keeping them poor;

-and in others it produces sluggishness, retaining

-defunct matter in the system, making them

-corpulent. As I have said, our highly-seasoned

-foods create morbid and abnormal appetites.</p>

-

-<p>As a consequence we eat too much and too

-often, the system being borne down by overwork

-in its digestive department, there comes

-a demand for stimulating drinks and medicines

-to take off the depression and to keep up tone;

-and to make ourselves feel good, after having

-made ourselves feel bad, by improper eating,

-some of us resort to tea and coffee, and others

-to alcohol, and then the excitement produced

-demands a sedative, and some of us smoke and

-others chew a poisonous weed called tobacco.

-Thus the poor body, subject to these revulsions

-of unnatural action in overwork and stimulation

-and sedation, is goaded to abnormities

-and unnatural action, sending up to the soul

-no other influences but those which drive it to

-moral madness and vicious deeds.</p>

-

-<p>Now, vice is a morbid exhibition of the will.

-The will is represented through the physical

-organ, the brain, and the brain is straightway

-affected by the condition of the body and the

-state of the blood. The will is that power of

-the mind by which we put forth volitions and

-perform actions. If the pressure of bad blood

-is on the brain, that same pressure is on the

-will; hence a sick man or a diseased man will

-do a great many bad things through the power

-of bad blood on the will. Vice, then, is both<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span>

-the result and cause of physical derangement.

-Hence that vice of vices, drunkenness.</p>

-

-<p>Drunkenness may be caused by bad physical

-conditions, brought about by bad habits of

-eating. Would it not be well for us to look

-into bad table habits for one of the reasons

-why so many of our young men become drunkards?

-May there not be some cause working

-in the flesh of our youths, driving them to intemperance?

-May it not be possible that kind

-fathers and mothers for years have been filling

-up the awful gap of 40,000 dead drunkards

-annually by feeding their children upon stimulating,

-highly-seasoned, innutritious foods?

-There is no doubt in my mind that every man

-is a glutton before he is a drunkard. If nature’s

-laws are violated, a man’s sensations will

-be all abnormal, and the mainsprings of his

-life will be befouled, and the result will be

-irregular and vicious expressions of all the

-appetites, both for food and drink. I am,

-therefore, confident that the widespread appetite

-for intoxicating liquors is largely due to

-the false relations that the American people

-hold to their food. We cannot hope much

-from moral suasion and legal enactments so

-long as we overlook the physical condition of

-the drunkard. If you would cure disease or

-vice effectually, you must shut off that which

-nourishes them, instead of putting all your

-force in efforts to antidote them. “Let the

-wicked forsake his way,” and then turn unto

-the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and

-to our God, and he will abundantly pardon

-him. There are 200,000 drunkards in the

-United States, 40,000 of whom go annually to

-premature graves. There are 20,000 prostitutes,

-whose average life in their profession is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span>

-four years. Do you believe this vast army of

-immortals go willingly to ruin? There are

-causes lying back of mere perversities of soul

-in the common every-day dietetic habits of

-these forlorn ones.</p>

-

-<p>Eating and drinking are always associated

-with the bar and brothel, and if you will take

-notice, the eating is always of that kind of food

-which goes straight for the animal nature, and

-wakes up in a man everything that is beastly.</p>

-

-<p>The whole tendency of the food furnished at

-the popular bar-room restaurant is to stir the

-baser elements in humanity and keep up the

-demand for alcoholic stimulants. No wonder

-the drinking saloons can afford to give what

-they call a “free lunch.” Care is taken to

-furnish such food as fires the appetite for strong

-drink, and the rum-seller gets his pay for his

-“free lunch” through the sale of the whisky

-that must inevitably follow it. Those who,

-living on highly stimulating foods, but do not

-drink strong drinks, will find that the bias of

-their bodily powers, instead of being toward

-mental and spiritual spheres, will be toward

-animal indulgences, dragging the mind and

-soul into servitude to the flesh, and where there

-are any moral aspirations, making the conflict

-between the higher and lower nature so intense

-that a vast amount of moral force is wasted in

-self-conflict that ought to go into the world’s

-redemptive agencies for saving the lost.</p>

-

-<p>I am confident that the American habit of

-eating sumptuous and late suppers, whether at

-our homes or church fairs or festivals, is damaging

-the physical, mental, and moral health

-of our nation more than any other one thing of

-its kind; more damaging, because it has the

-appearance of innocency, and the sanction of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span>

-our fathers and mothers and some of our pastors.</p>

-

-<p>Furthermore, the habit of eating hurriedly,

-or hastily, is preying upon the vital and moral

-forces of many of us. A meal eaten hastily or

-nervously, under the pressure of intense mental

-activity or nervous tension, or great weariness,

-begins its work of nutrition under the

-greatest possible disadvantage. All our meals

-should be eaten calmly and deliberately, so as

-to thoroughly masticate the food, and not impose

-on the stomach and viscera the legitimate

-work of the teeth. In the interest of health to

-soul as well as body I enter an earnest plea for

-more time for eating, and especially at noon,

-when most hard working people take their

-principal meal. Clerks, business men, and

-school teachers, mechanics, laborers, and our

-children who attend the public schools, need

-more time at noon to properly dispose of the

-chief meal of the day. No better investment

-could be made to secure the best possible physical,

-intellectual, financial, and moral returns

-than for all classes of people to take two hours

-at mid-day for resting and eating dinner. Selfish

-greed demands otherwise, and makes a

-show of gain; but the loss is sure to come in

-due time to all parties concerned.</p>

-

-<p>My friends, when will we fast-living, fast-eating,

-fast-working, and fast-dying Americans

-learn the great lesson, that life is a

-unit, that the Divine Trinity in us, namely,

-the physical, intellectual, and spiritual, is one

-life, with different phases of expression; and

-whatever mars one mars the whole, and whatever

-builds up one most surely builds up

-the others? All our powers are many members

-in one body, with an inter-dependence<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span>

-which is eternal. Slight your body, and you

-smite your soul and enervate the mind. Corrupt

-the mind, and you debase both body and

-soul. When will those who profess to be God’s

-children by the adoption of the Holy Ghost,

-catch the Spirit of His great Apostle Paul,

-who, more than any other sacred writer, maintained

-the sanctity of the human body and its

-subservience to the mind and soul. Hear him:

-“I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of

-God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,

-holy, acceptable unto God, which is your

-reasonable service, and be not conformed to

-this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing

-of your minds, that ye may prove what is

-that good and acceptable and perfect will of

-God.” I admit the power of the Holy Ghost

-in the work of regeneration, but is there not

-something for us to do, in keeping our bodies

-under, “lest we become cast-aways?”

-I do not say that <i>all</i> human evils and ills

-have their primary origin in physical habits,

-but I do say that the great mass of impulsions

-from the excited, inflamed, over-stimulated

-body toward the soul, are in the interests of

-sin. The economy of salvation orders otherwise.

-By the Gospel the body may become

-the temple of the Holy Ghost. By the law of

-self-denial of the New Testament, our bodies,

-with all their fiery elements, may be made an

-inspiration to our souls. It is not the purpose

-of God that a life-time warfare shall be kept

-up between the body and the soul. There

-ought to come to every true Christian a day of

-final victory over his bodily powers, in which

-they will cease their rebellion, and come into

-the sweetest union with the soul in its great

-work of developing a likeness to Christ.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span></p>

-

-<p>Why are we called upon to present the body

-a living sacrifice to God, if its powers are not

-to be sanctified to holy purposes? Why should

-we spend all our life waiting for the adoption

-of our whole nature, to wit, the redemption of

-the body, as well as the soul.</p>

-

-<p>Our fondest dreams for the progress of humanity

-must be based in a newly created body

-by strict obedience to the laws of God, written

-on every fibre, tissue, muscle, and bone. We

-cannot develop the human brain and heart to

-the possibilities that God has put in them,

-while they are the tenants of bodies the laws

-of which are violated in the commonest habits

-of every-day life.</p>

-

-<p>Regeneration does a mighty work for us;

-but generation has also much to do with our

-highest and best development. The sins of the

-fathers must cease, so that the sons may be

-spared their terrible visitations; the accumulated

-virtues of parents must roll over on their

-children in purer, stronger, and better bodies

-until by a blessed economy the whole race shall

-be exalted to heirship with Christ through

-loving obedience to all the laws of physical as

-well as moral life.</p>

-

-<p>Why may we not now, under the laws of

-redemption, begin to build a new heaven and a

-new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our

-souls are redeemed and renewed by obedience

-and faith, why not secure also the redemption

-of our bodies? I know it is slow work to

-teach the subtle but mighty elements of self-restraint.

-I know the flesh lusteth against the

-spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the

-victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.</p>

-<h2><a name="APPENDIX" id="APPENDIX">APPENDIX.</a></h2>

-

-

-<p>In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler &amp; Wells

-for the manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall

-far short of my duty if I did not allude more particularly than

-seemed appropriate in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work

-which is being done by the Health Food Company, and to the

-great excellence of its products. If these remarks were addressed

-to physicians, the simple mention of the name of the

-company would suffice, because there are probably very few

-medical men and women who are not aware of the good work

-of this organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for

-invalids of every type, as well as for such as are in health

-and are solicitous thus to continue. The work of the company

-has, from the beginning, been under the wise direction of a scientific

-head, himself an original investigator, and having

-an ample acquaintance with all the truths which have been

-evolved by modern scientific research. While it is very important

-that physicians should know all that is to be known

-concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large

-opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world

-may not go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the

-vast body of intelligent readers and church-goers should be

-made aware of the fact that in the matter of food and its preparation

-there are laws which are not comprehended by ignorant

-cooks, which may not be violated with impunity, the

-scope and importance of which are being more perfectly understood

-from year to year, and which, in their practical application

-by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand

-work in the up-building and re-building of human bodies and

-brains. Especially am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many

-of whom, I am persuaded, suffer from unsupplied

-waste of brain and nerve power—should more fully appreciate

-the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues of the body may

-be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may nearly

-or quite fail to supply or replenish the waste of the delicate

-brain and nervous system; and should understand how the

-best foods for the active brain-worker can be procured.</p>

-

-<p>A dyspeptic myself, a member of a dyspeptic family, and

-observing much of that kind of misery and weakness which

-arises from digestive feebleness, I have been compelled to study

-the subject of food in its relation to bodily and mental and

-moral well-being, during many years; and it is not less a pleas<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span>ure

-than a duty to say that an intimate acquaintance with the

-researches of the Health Food Co. and its products, has convinced

-me that this organization is the center and source of the

-best information obtainable in any land, on the subject of dietetics;

-that the food which it prepares from many substances,

-especially from the cereal grains, are the best in the world;

-and that all who seek to live wisely and well, all who are strong

-and would continue so, all who are feeble and would fain be

-strong, all in whom the spirit to lead noble and useful lives is

-willing, but in whom the flesh, alas! is weak—owe it to themselves

-and to all whom they have power to influence, to learn

-all that can be learned concerning the great work of this company.

-In this brief Appendix it is not possible to allude, even

-remotely, to all its investigations in the domain of dietetics,

-nor to fully indicate the valuable results which it has achieved.

-I shall be justified, however, in referring to a few of its more

-prominent applications of scientific thought to the daily needs

-of humanity.</p>

-

-<p>It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by

-whatever “new process,” or under whatever brand, was a

-robbed, impoverished food, and that attached to the bran or

-husk—which is excluded as it should be—there is a layer of

-nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows and horses.

-It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should be

-deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this

-wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which

-there is no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised

-a method of removing all the woody, branny, siliceous

-coats from the grain without wasting one atom of the nutriment.

-Seeing that ordinary mill-stone grinding tended to

-heat and impair the flour, it devised other and better methods

-of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole wheat

-flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called

-“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with

-nothing taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious

-addition of grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the

-woody fibre and silex which form the protecting, innutritious

-shell. Thus the theories of the value of bread from the entire

-wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John C. Warren, of Boston, in

-1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester Graham, were

-taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained

-in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth

-really existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved

-by exact experiments and by scientific methods, has at

-length been made of real value to the human race instead of

-continuing to be a source of possible, and often of positive

-injury, by virtue of the errors originally attending it. The

-perfect, branless flour of the entire grain is called the <span class="smcap">Cold

-Blast Whole Wheat Flour</span>, and is, beyond question, the

-most perfect bread-food in the world.</p>

-

-<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[Pg 32]</a></span></p>

-

-<p>Again, chemistry long ago proved that the nitrogenous, albuminous

-element of the great food staples (the cereal grains)

-known as <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>, was the chief source of muscular tissue in

-animals, whether obtained from grasses, seeds, or other vegetable

-substances; that it could be digested in a mixture of 1

-part gastric juice and 10 parts water; that it could be separated

-from its universal attendant, starch, by washing; and that a

-kind of tasteless, insipid bread could then be made from it,

-which was understood to be useful in a disease called diabetes.

-Up to a few years ago these facts comprised pretty much all

-that the scientific world knew about <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>. It was known

-to exist; Koopman, the German chemist, had shown it to be

-readily digestible; and it was non-convertible into sugar, and

-therefore a safe food for those to whom starch, or the sugar

-which results from digested starch, is little less than poison.

-These slender facts were not sufficient to satisfy the accurate

-investigator at the head of the Health Food Co. He deemed

-it probable that this easily digested <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>, this source of all

-the tissues of the ox except the fatty ones, would be found to

-be of vast value as a separate food for human beings, if while

-being practically isolated from the starch and bran associates

-which nature provides, it could still retain the pleasant grainy

-flavor of the cereal which supplies it. He began a series of

-investigations to determine the source of the agreeable flavor

-existing in sound wheat, and—as modified by milling and cooking—in

-commercial wheat flour and the foods prepared therefrom.

-The results of the researches of Prof. Henry B. Hill, of

-Harvard University, and of those contemporaneously conducted

-by Adolph Baeyer, of Munich, led him to conclude that to the

-oil known as “furfurol,” existing in the exterior bran

-and interior cellulose of the grain, the flour and bread chiefly

-owed their desirable flavors. The cellulose of the interior of

-the wheat was found to contain enough of the flavoring oil to

-impart to the insipid gluten an agreeable taste. Accordingly,

-methods were devised for separating the gluten and the cellulose

-from most of the starch, these three elements alone

-remaining after the bran coats were peeled off.</p>

-

-<p>This “whole wheat gluten,” as it is termed by the company,

-has proved a most valuable food, not only for the diabetic, to

-whom it seems to present the chief hope of recovery, but to

-the dyspeptic and feeble, whether in brain or body. Its use has

-been attended with such signally successful results as to attract

-the attention of large numbers of prominent medical men,

-among whom I may mention Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue

-Hospital Medical College, New York city, who passes upon it

-a warm encomium in his last great volume. [See Flint’s

-Clinical Medicine, pp. 452-53.]</p>

-

-<p>If I did not feel quite certain that the vast majority of those

-who shall peruse this paragraph would seek from the Health

-Food Company, or from some of its many agents in various<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</a></span>

-parts of the country, the very able and interesting pamphlets

-which it mails free to all applicants, I should deem it my duty

-to allude to other and not less valuable applications of scientific

-thought to the vast problems involved in the preparation

-of foods for humanity, from infancy to old age. To adequately

-describe them all, would require a volume; let me content myself

-with an allusion to one or two of the many.</p>

-

-<p>There is a digestive element existing in the saliva and in the

-fluid called the “pancreatic juice,” which bears the name of

-“diastase.” This diastase exists nowhere outside of the animal

-economy, except in seeds during the process of germination,

-or sprouting. When the seed, or cereal, or vegetable, is

-exposed to proper influences of moisture and warmth, such, for

-example, as are supplied by the earth in spring-time, the process

-of germination begins, and from the germ diastase is liberated.

-The function of the diastase thus set free is the conversion

-of the food elements in the seed into assimilative nutriment

-for the young and tender plant. It is the digestant of

-food, whether the thing fed be plant or animal. Now, while

-physiologists have long been ready to concede that when, as is

-common in diseased conditions, this important digestant is absent

-from the saliva and pancreatic juice, the conversion of

-all starchy foods is suspended, it has not been supposed that

-diastase has any marked influence upon the emulsification and

-digestion of food-substances not containing starch, nor had any

-food-chemist availed himself of the diastase in cereals, if I except

-the development and possible subsequent retention, to

-some extent, of diastase in some of the preparations of malt.

-The Health Food Company develops and employs the cereal

-diastase in a most effective way. It removes the germinal

-molecules from wheat and barley, reduces them to powder,

-forms the powder into a dough, encloses it in a steam-tight vessel

-and subjects the vessel and contents for a protracted period to

-a temperature of 150ºF. The latent diastase is thus brought into

-being, while the low temperature and the close vessel completely

-prevent its volatilization and loss. The diastatic dough

-is subsequently dried and powdered, and is then packed and

-labeled, ready for use, demanding no cooking, and no other

-preparation than simple moistening with milk or water. Used

-with milk it is found to prevent that tough and curdy coagulation

-which renders milk so oppressive, “bilious” and indigestible

-in many cases. The name given to this diastatic food

-which I have mentioned, is “The Universal Food,” a name

-suggested by a leading physician, who believed it to be universally

-applicable to enfeebled conditions in which better

-nourishment was needed. It is admirably adapted to the nourishment

-of infants, as diastase is almost entirely lacking during

-the first years of life, and may wisely be supplied from

-exterior sources.</p>

-

-<p>The Company’s great work for the multitude, however, is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</a></span>

-in the preparation of wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas,

-beans, and other seeds. These are perfectly cleansed from all

-impurities, the outer bran-coats, husks, and pellicles are removed,

-and the interior, soluble, digestible food-portion is

-admirably prepared for ready cooking. Persons who have a

-distaste for Graham and crushed wheat, and oat-meal and

-other cereals, find in the Fine Granulated Wheat, the Coarse

-Granulated Wheat, the Pearled Wheat, Pearled Oats, Granulated

-Oats, Granulated Barley, Rye, Corn, etc., manufactured

-by this Company, delicious foods, which, once adopted, are

-continued from choice.</p>

-

-<p>I leave this important subject with my readers, again urging

-them to seek to learn more concerning it. To be placed in

-possession of information which I do not assume to be competent

-to impart, it is only necessary that you address a postal

-card to the Health Food Company, No. 74 Fourth Ave., cor.

-10th street, New York, N.&nbsp;Y., asking for all its Health Food

-literature, and appending your address, and you will be quite

-certain to receive the entertaining pamphlets by due course of

-mail. The agents of the company, also, cordially respond to

-calls for circulars and orders for the Health Foods.</p>

-

-<hr class="tb" />

-

-<p>Let me ask my readers not to content themselves with sending

-for and perusing, however carefully, the instructive pamphlets

-of the Health Food Company. If you are sick you will

-do well to describe your condition by letter to the company,

-and its medical head will write you which of the foods are

-adapted to your case; you can then order a supply of such as

-he advises. If you are in good health and merely seek to supply

-yourself with delicate and nutritive substances which will

-have the effect to keep you strong and well, you will be able to

-select from their list, without special advice. Advice from the

-medical man of the organization costs nothing, however, and

-should be asked in all doubtful or diseased states. J.&nbsp;F.&nbsp;C.</p>

-<p>I should like to state to your Company the great success

-I have had in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the

-advisability of letting the medical profession generally know

-of this simple and efficacious remedy for constipation. I

-have prescribed these Suppositories almost daily in my practice

-

-<p>I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation

-was so great that very often—much against my will—I

-was forced to administer a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use

-of these Gluten Suppositories she has remained well—over

-six months. It does not cure <i>all</i> cases, but in all the instances

-where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some benefit

-has been derived.</p>

-<p><small>Is now in the twelfth year of its existence. Its valuable and

-important work has been recognized and commended by

-thousands of physicians, by many writers for the medical

-and general press, and by multitudes of the sick and suffering

-who have found health and comfort through its products.

-It has had many imitators, but it has conscientiously

-adhered to its original mission of preparing</small></p>

-

-

-<p class="center"><b>Perfect Foods for Sick and Well</b>.</p>

-

-<div class="small">

-<p>Basing its work upon exact science, and being presided

-over by a scientific man, it has gained the support and co-operation

-of the scientific world. A year or two since, a

-competitor in the manufacture of a single article, known as

-“Whole Wheat Flour,” secured the publication of an article

-from the pen of a Dr. Ephraim Cutter—styling himself “a

-microscopist”—in which he asserted his ability to determine

-the relative percentages of gluten and starch by the use of

-the microscope alone. He furthermore said that while the

-food-value of a bread-flour depended upon its percentage

-of gluten, the various flours of the Health Food Company

-contained no gluten whatever; and that the flour made by

-the “Franklin Mills” (Dr. Cutter’s employer) was so rich in

-gluten as to make it “a blessing to mankind.” These

-grossly absurd statements called forth some very scathing

-criticisms and much ridicule by the medical and secular

-press, and induced Prof. R. H. Thurston, of the Stevens

-Institute of Technology—who had derived benefit from the

-Health Foods—to invite his colleague, Prof. Albert N.

-Leeds, Public Analyst for the State of New Jersey and Professor

-of Chemistry in the Stevens Institute, to microscopically

-examine and chemically analyze the food substances

-alluded to, for the purpose of determining the accuracy or

-inaccuracy of Cutter’s statements, and, furthermore, to settle

-the question of the value of the “microscopic analysis,” for

-which so much had been claimed by Cutter. Prof. Leeds’

-careful work conclusively showed that the microscope was

-<i>valuable to detect adulterations</i>, but valueless as a means of

-determining the percentages of the various natural constituents

-of a cereal flour; so he proceeded to apply the crucial

-test of chemical analysis, with striking results. (In our limited

-<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span>space we can only briefly quote from the Professor’s

-published statement, but we are assured that he will cheerfully

-mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one who shall

-address him at the College named, situated in Hoboken,

-New Jersey.) Premising that wheat in its natural state contains,

-on the average, about 12 per cent. of albuminoids—chiefly

-gluten—he found in the Health Food Company’s

-Whole Wheat Flour 16.74 per cent. of this substance. Of

-the “Franklin Mills” flour, said to be made from “entire

-wheat,” he writes: “It contains 8.55 per cent. of albuminoids,

-chiefly gluten, together with a very large percentage

-of cellulose or finely-ground bran. It is greatly lacking in

-nutritive elements.”</p>

-<p>Prof. Leeds testifies that the Glutens prepared by the

-Health Food Company are richer in the gluten element

-than any which he has been able to obtain, whether of

-American or foreign origin, and more than twice as rich as

-a so-called gluten made by Farwell &amp; Rhines, of Rochester.

-He also finds by analysis that “Robinson’s Prepared Barley

-Flour” contains only 5.13 per cent. of albuminoids,

-while the Health Food Company’s barley flour, retailing for

-less than one-eighth as much, contains 13.83 per cent.,

-showing it to be nearly three times as rich in substantial

-nutriment. The flours and foods of the Health Food

-Company are nourishing in health and remedial in sickness.

-Their good work is in the improvement of the

-blood-making processes, in better digestion, in increased

-nutrition. It is their function to ably supplement all such

-remedial measures as skill and science may suggest. Many

-physicians have testified to the increased readiness of diseases

-to yield to their treatment when the patients have

-been sustained by the bland, soluble, non-irritating, nourishing

-nutriments prepared by the Health Food Company.

-Its products still stand at the head of the long list of food-preparations

-for infants and invalids, for the sick who seek

-to recover health and strength, for the strong who desire to

-remain strong. It has elevated food and its preparation to

-the dignity of a science, and has sought to render itself

-wholly worthy of the warm encomiums so ably pronounced

-by scholars, physicians, and scientists, conspicuous among

-whom stand the Rev. John F. Clymer and Prof. Austin Flint.</p>

-

-<p>“Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the equal in all respects,

-and superior to many of its predecessors. Simplicity is sought to be blended with

-science, economy with all the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an

-ample household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs. Dodds’ book,

-material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen administration.”—<i>N.&nbsp;Y. Star.</i></p>

-

-

-<p>The most important question with all interested and

-intelligent housekeepers should be “What can I prepare

-for my table that will be <span class="smcap">Healthful</span> and <span class="smcap">Palatable</span>?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt

-Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention

-is given to the health and strength giving qualities

-of the dishes described, and a large part of the directions

-are useless (for never followed) and in many cases

-harmful (if tried).</p>

-

-<p>What is needed is a practical work in which these

-conditions are carefully considered and one which is

-simple enough to be easily understood.</p>

-

-<p>A recent publication, <span class="smcap">Health in the Household</span>,

-by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a lady physician and a practical

-housekeeper, covers this ground very fully and can be

-recommended. It considers the value of the different

-food products, the best methods of preparation, and the

-reason why.</p>

-

-<p><small>The Chicago <i>Inter-Ocean</i> says: “She evidently knows what she is

-writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It

-is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;

-it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”</small></p>

-increase the happiness by increasing the healthful conditions.</p>

-<p class="center">A FEW OF THE MANY NOTES FROM READERS.</p>

-<div class="small">

-<p><span class="smcap">J. Russ</span>, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the colds

-question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the book—it is, in fact, invaluable,

-going to the very root of the question of sickness.”

-Mrs. <span class="smcap">W. O. Thompson</span>, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y., says: “I wish every

-friend I have could read it, and, only that hygienists never harbor ill-feeling, that

-my enemies might not chance to find it. I owe much to the truths made clear in

-‘Natural Cure,’ and it is certain that to it and the professional attendance of the

-author, my sister-in-law owes her life and present robust health.”</p>

-

-<p class="center">FROM A TEACHER.</p>

-

-<p>Mrs. <span class="smcap">S. S. Gage</span>, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y., says: “My

-friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to me. Thanks

-to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more; I am better in every

-way. I never could accomplish so much and with so little fatigue; and I am sure

-that all my intellectual work is of better quality than it ever was before.”</p>

-

-<p class="center">FROM A HUSBAND.</p>

-

-<p><span class="smcap">D. Thompson</span>, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in ‘Natural

-Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent intervals for forty years,

-return no more. Formerly I could not work for three days at a time, now I work

-right along. For this, as well as for the restoration of my wife to health, after we

-had given her up as fatally sick, I have to thank Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”</p>

-

-<p class="center">FROM THE WIFE.</p>

-

-<p>Mrs. <span class="smcap">S. E. D. Thompson</span>, Lee, N. H. says: “I can not well express my gratitude

-for the benefit I have received from the book and its author’s personal counsel.

-Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly wonderful how the power of

-resting is increased under the influence of the regimen prescribed. I have distributed

-many copies of this book, and have known of a <i>life-long asthmatic cured,

-biliousness removed, perennial hay-fever banished</i> for good, and other wonderful

-changes wrought, by means of the regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A

-friend remarked: ‘It is full of encouragement for those who wish to live in clean

-bodies.’ Another said: ‘It has proved to me that I have been committing slow

-suicide.’ Our minister says: ‘I have modified my diet and feel like a new man.’”

-To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s first book, “<span class="smcap">How to Feed the

-Baby</span>”: “I have known of a number of babes changed from colicky, fretful children

-to happy well ones, making them a delight to their parents, by following its

-advice.”</p>

-

-<p><span class="smcap">William C. Langley</span>, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited from

-reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from inherited feebleness,

-or, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the need of making the most of their limited

-powers. I may add, that this work bears evidence that the author has had

-wide range, and extensive reading, together with a natural fitness for physiological

-and hygienic research, keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”</p>

-

-<p>Mrs. Dr. <span class="smcap">Densmore</span>, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge of

-my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it of the publishers

-by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”</p>

-

-<p><span class="smcap">The Popular Science Monthly</span> for September, 1883, speaks highly of the work,

-closing with, “the public has in this work a most valuable manual of hygiene.”</p>

-

-<p><span class="smcap">The Atlantic Monthly</span> for August, 1883, says: “It is an effort at impressing

-common-sense views of preserving and restoring health.”</p>

-</div>

-

-<p>We have recently published a volume

-containing a story of Human

-Nature which will be found of interest.

-It is called “The <span class="smcap">Man Wonderful</span>

-in the <span class="smcap">House Beautiful</span>,” and is an allegory, teaching the

-principles of Physiology and Hygiene,

-and the effects of Stimulants

-and Narcotics. The House is the

-Body, in which the Foundations are

-the Bones, the Walls are Muscles,

-the Skin and Hair the Siding and

-Shingles, the head an Observatory

-in which are found a pair of Telescopes,

-and radiating from it are the nerves which are compared

-to a Telegraph, while communications are kept up with the

-Kitchen, Dining-room, Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is

-heated with a Furnace. There are also Mysterious Chambers,

-and the whole is protected by a Burglar Alarm. In studying the

-inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we learn of his

-growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he introduces.

-He finds that some of them are friends, others are

-doubtful acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this

-form, we ascertain the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and

-Stimulants.</p>

-

-<p>It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children

-will lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the

-Laws of Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten.

-The book will prove of great interest even to adults and those

-familiar with the subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A.

-Allen, are both regular physicians, and therefore the work is accurate

-and on a scientific basis. “Science in Story” has never

-been presented in a more attractive form. It is universally admitted

-that a large proportion of sickness comes from violations

-of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it is important that

-this subject should be understood by all, as in this way we may

-become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease. The

-reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It

-will be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is

-only $1.50. Address</p>

-<p>The authors state in their preface: “In preparing

-this volume it has been the aim to

-meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise

-which not only gives the reader a complete

-

-<p>Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed

-at. The scientific researches of the

-last twenty years have demonstrated

-the fearful and wonderful complication

-of matter, not only with mind, but with

-what we call moral qualities. Thereby,

-we believe, the divine origin of “our

-frame” has been newly illustrated, and

-the Scriptural psychology confirmed:

-and in the Phrenological Chart we are

-disposed to find a species of “urim and

-thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s

-will concerning us, at least His

-revelation of essential character. One

-thing is certain, that the discoveries

-of physical science must ere long force

-all men to the single alternative of Calvinism

-or Atheism. When they see

-that God has written himself sovereign,

-absolute, and predestinating, on the

-records of His creation, they will be

-ready to find His writing as clearly in

-the Word; and the analogical argument,

-meeting the difficulties and the

-objections on the side of Faith by those

-admitted as existing on the side of

-Sight, will avail as well in one case as

-in the other. We will only add, the

-above work is, without doubt, the best

-popular presentation of the science

-which has yet been made. It confines

-itself strictly to facts, and is not written

-in the interest of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its

-copious illustrations, pictorial and narrative,

-and the whole is brought down

-to the latest information on this curious

-and suggestive department of

-knowledge.—<i>Christian Intelligencer.</i></p>

-

-<p>As far as a comprehensive view of the

-teachings of Combe can be embodied

-into a system that the popular mind

-can understand, this book is as satisfactory

-an exposition of its kind as has

-yet been published. The definitions are

-clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—<i>Philadelphia

-Enquirer.</i></p>

-

-<p>In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds with

-valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the work constitutes

-by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and is adapted to both private

-and class study.</p>

-

-<p>The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most part

-from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and great pains

-have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance of the text in each

-case. For the student of human nature and character the work is of the highest

-value.</p>

-600 pages, extra cloth or oil-cloth binding, price $2.00.</p>

-

-<p>Undoubtedly the very best work on the

-preparation of food in a healthful manner

-ever published, and one that should be in

-the hands of all who would furnish their

-tables with food that is wholesome and at

-the same time palatable, and will contribute

-much toward <b>Health in the Household</b>.</p>

-

-<p>A new work with new ideas, both radical

-

-<p>The reader may be sure of this, he is no

-agent for a drug store. The doctor is a high

-apostle gospel of hygiene, and gives the

-mild blue pill and other alteratives fits at

-every opportunity, and often forces the opportunity

-to launch a broadside into the old

-favorite of the profession. Nature is a great

-healer and the great merit of the book is that

-it demands for nature and the human organization

-a fair show.—“McGregor News.”</p>

-

-<p>We have here a new work on Hygiene

-containing the results of the author’s experience

-for many years in the treatment of

-agencies, and it will save an incalculable

-amount of pain and suffering, as well as

-

-<p>The latest and best work on the subject.

-With fifty illustrations showing with all

-possible fullness every process of digestion,

-and giving all the causes, and directions for

-treatment of Dyspepsia. The author gives

-the summary of the data which he collected

-during an extensive practice of more than

-phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,

-performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

-

-  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and

-  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you

-  are located before using this ebook.

-

-1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is

-derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not

-contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the

-copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in

-1.F.

-

-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable

-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread

-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project

-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm

-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may

-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate

-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other

-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or

-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or

-cannot be read by your equipment.

-

-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right

-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project

-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium

-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you

-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in

-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person

-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second

-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If

-without further opportunities to fix the problem.

-

-

-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this

-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or

-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any

-Defect you cause.

-

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of

-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of

-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It

-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations

-from people in all walks of life.

-

-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's

-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will

-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project

-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure

-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future

-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

-www.gutenberg.org

-

-

-

-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

-

-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit

-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the

-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification

-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by

-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

-

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg

-Literary Archive Foundation

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide

-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of

-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be

-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest

-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations

-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt

-status with the IRS.

-

-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a

-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up

-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations

-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND

-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular

-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

-

-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we

-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition

-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who

-approach us with offers to donate.

-

-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from

-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

-

-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation

-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other

-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To

-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

-

-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be

-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and

-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of

-volunteer support.

-

-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed

-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in

-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not

-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper

-edition.

-

-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search

-facility: www.gutenberg.org

-

-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,

-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary

-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to

-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p><i>Gentlemen</i>:—I have read with great interest a sermon by Rev. Mr.
+Clymer, of Auburn, on “The Relation of Food to Morals,” as it
+appeared in the Auburn <i>Daily Advertiser</i> of June 20th, 1880. Certainly
+everything stands related to morals; and all men, women,
+and children should be made to see and feel this.</p>
+
+<p>I suppose I am considered an old-fashioned preacher. I believe
+in “original sin,” and I believe in a great deal of sin that is not
+original. I believe that every man is so corrupt that he can never
+be made pure without supernatural influence; and I believe that
+he must take advantage, at the same time, of all the natural helps.
+Even the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot make the saint who
+is in the flesh, feel alert and happy, so long as he has any serious
+obstruction of the biliary duct. When I was a younger pastor in a
+Southern city, I was called by a mother to see her daughter, a girl
+of eighteen, who was in a dreadful way, inconsolably laboring under
+the oppressive feeling that there was no mercy for her. I prescribed
+for her torpid liver as my knowledge of the healing art
+enabled me to do, promising to call again soon. When I did call,
+the young lady was relieved, and I was able to secure her attention
+to the comfortable truths of our most holy faith. It is first the natural,
+and then the spiritual; St. Paul, 1 Cor. xv. 46: “Howbeit that
+was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward
+that which is spiritual.”
+We must always feel our dependence on the spirit of God for
+our regeneration and sanctification, but not in such a way as to
+make fools of us. The man whose faith in the supernatural makes
+him depreciate the natural, has no more sense than he whose faith
+in the natural utterly excludes super-nature.</p>
+
+<p>I think you would do a good work to issue Mr. Clymer’s discourse
+as one of a series of tracts proclaiming the gospel of hygiene. Will
+you not do it?</p>

+<span class="xs">A SERMON PREACHED BY</span><br />
+<small>REV. J. F. CLYMER</small>,</h2>
+<p class="center"><span class="smcap"><small>In the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Auburn, New York,<br />
+On Sunday, June 20th, 1880</small></span>.
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p>“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey
+the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and that when
+they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, then shall
+his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto
+the elders of his city, and unto the gates of his place; and they
+shall say unto the elders of his city: <i>This our son is stubborn and rebellious;
+he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.</i>”—<span class="smcap">Deut.</span>
+xxi. 18-20.</p></blockquote>
+
+
+<p>We have had much teaching that has left the
+impression on our minds that the soul is the
+<i>only</i> source and seat of all the vice in human
+life. Because it is written “The imaginations
+of the thoughts of the natural heart, are only
+evil continually,” total depravity has been
+fixed on the spirit nature of man; that is, all the
+bad or immoral elements entering into human
+life have been attributed to the innate or inborn
+ugliness of the soul. Accepting the Scriptural
+truth that “the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” we have come to think that sin has its <i>center</i>,
+<i>seat</i>, <i>source and circumference</i> in the soul, or
+the immaterial nature of man. Hence we readily
+admit the fact that influences, good or bad, may
+pass over from the soul to the body, but we do
+not so readily admit that <i>other</i> fact, equally<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>
+true, that influence good or bad may go over
+from the <i>body</i> to the soul. The road over
+which vicious thoughts and lustful imaginations
+pass from the soul to the body is the highway
+over which unbridled appetites, unrestrained
+passions and unsubdued lusts in the body may
+go to the soul, goading it to the wildest conceptions
+of vice and lecherous imaginations. The
+warm rays of the sun may gender rottenness in
+the muddy pool; so also will the effluvia from
+the pool poison the sunlight near it. The soul
+by its vicious thoughts and imaginations will
+entail an immoral tone on the body; so also
+will the body react on the soul, by its appetites,
+passions and propensities, increasing the viciousness
+of the soul by pushing it to courses
+of vice not directly and immediately its own.
+In our text is found an illustration of this
+thought. A father and mother bring their
+stubborn and rebellious son to the elders of the
+Jewish church. They assign, as the cause of
+his stubbornness and rebellion, gluttony and
+drunkenness, than which there are no vices
+that demoralize the body more, or goad the
+soul to greater crimes. Hear it:</p>
+
+<p>“This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he
+will not obey our voice, he is a glutton and a
+drunkard.” That is, bad conditions of the
+physical nature, wrought by gluttony and
+drunkenness, have made him stubborn and rebellious.
+It will not help the case to say that
+his stubbornness and rebellion caused his
+gluttony and drunkenness, for if they did, then
+his soul must act on the body. His morals
+must influence his manners, and therefore his
+manners must reflect on his morals; they must
+interact, which is just the point we make; that
+his appetite and lust fire the temperament or dis<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span>position,
+and a fiery disposition provokes appetite
+and lust to wilder indulgences.</p>
+
+<p>A remarkable fact, in this day of advanced
+science and revelation, is that Christians and
+moralists in their work of reform have paid so
+little attention to the influence of the body on
+the soul. Jesus Christ more than any other
+teacher or reformer recognized the demoralizing
+and debasing influence of bad bodily conditions.
+Hence he almost always healed maladies of the
+body before he entered his principles upon the
+soul. It is true that his many miracles on the
+bodies of men were primarily intended to reveal
+his divinity; yet divinity in its manifestations
+always runs over the whole line of the natural
+before passing into the supernatural; therefore
+Christ’s miracles on the bodies of men had a
+sanitary side to them. The man with the leprosy
+was in the poorest condition bodily to hear
+favorably any talk about moral sweetness;
+hence Christ healed his diseased body, in connection
+with his moral teachings. His example
+with the blind and hungry and deaf in this respect
+ought not to go for nothing with those of
+us who seek to save men in our day. Philanthropists
+and Christians for the most part have
+overlooked the power of a debased body on the
+soul. They forget that Paul likens a body that
+has sinful habitudes to a thing of death, as
+compared with the soul that seeks to live the
+new life in Christ Jesus. Therefore good men
+have labored to create in themselves and those
+whom they seek to reform, certain emotional
+conditions of the spirit, by a tenacious adherence
+to creeds, or the patient performance of a
+set round of religious duties, and all this regardless
+of bad physical conditions begotten by
+bad habits of eating and drinking. While they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>
+have been struggling to bring their own souls
+and the souls of others into holy attitudes, all
+the basilar forces of the body have run riot
+within, and perhaps beyond, the pale of human
+customs and human laws. If you want to
+empty a boiler of steam, it will not help you
+much by lifting the safety valve if you still
+keep water in the boiler and fire in the furnace.
+Prayer, Bible reading and Psalm singing will
+not help a man much to get rid of his sins, if
+he keeps up a set of bodily habits which fire
+the body and inflame the soul to continue its
+sinning. That you may see the connection
+more clearly between vice and victuals, let me
+show you how food may damage our bodies
+and demoralize our souls.</p>
+
+<p>I am fully aware of the difficulties I encounter
+in entering this thought on your minds.
+Because religion has been considered as having
+little or nothing to do with the body, I shall
+encounter the settled opinions of good men to
+this effect. Because our popular methods of
+eating have the sanction of custom and the defense
+of long established habits, I may not
+criticise them without losing the favor of those
+who are content with things as they are. Because
+I shall call in question many indulgences
+of appetite hitherto considered sinless, I shall
+run the risk of being called a fanatic or fool.
+Because I shall preach the New Testament
+doctrine of self-denial many will say this is a
+hard saying—“who can bear it?” But with
+the hope that I may unfold to you a glorious
+realm of liberty from the bondage of bodily
+propensities, I cheerfully do my duty and leave
+the consequences for God to look after.</p>
+
+<p>Very few of us are aware of the great physical
+demoralization and spiritual wickedness,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span>
+brought on us and our children, by bad habits
+of eating, as to the kind of food, the mode of
+its preparation, and the manner and times of
+taking it. We refuse to think of our indulgences
+of appetite as the cause of our physical
+ailments and premature death, and much less
+will we allow ourselves to believe that these indulgences
+have anything to do with forming
+our morals or shaping our characters or determining
+our eternal destiny.</p>
+
+<p>And yet I aver, without the fear of successful
+refutation, that three-fourths of all our bodily
+ailments or diseases, and many of our immoral
+acts, are the legitimate results of improper
+dietetic habits. If these habits do not effect us
+directly, they do so indirectly by lowering the
+tone of the whole system, physical and moral,
+causing us to break down prematurely into
+some disease or deviltry, under the pressure of
+legitimate toil or immoral provocation. How
+is it possible to account for the death of one
+half the human family before five years of age,
+unless we trace it to the violation of physical
+laws in some way connected with the eating
+habits alike of parent and child? Many children
+enter the world with such a low state of
+inherited physical vitality, and so little moral
+tone, that they are unable to resist the attacks
+of bodily disease or throw it off when on them,
+and much less able to throw off moral disease
+and rise above their immoral heritage if spared
+to pass through childhood to years of maturity.
+Such children not only carry in their little
+bodies the physical weaknesses of their parents,
+but also the specific immoral tendencies found
+in the conditions of their parentage. And
+more than this, should their endowment of vitality
+be sufficient to carry them over the death<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span>
+line for infants, they are subject to such unnatural
+relations to dress and diet that it becomes
+a natural impossibility for them to live. In this
+way many children die prematurely, not by
+the arbitrary edict of God, but by the violation
+of law. And if God should save their lives by
+special suspension of his laws, more damage
+would be done to the moral harmony of the
+universe than to let them die. I know it is
+a common custom to ascribe all sickness and
+death to the direct and arbitrary action of Divine
+Providence. That is, if one overeats, or eats
+innutritious food, or at improper times, making
+himself sickly, so that he becomes an easy prey
+to disease, and dies suddenly or at the noon
+tide of life, all the good people say—“What a
+strange Providence!” As if God had everything
+to do with such a death, and the deceased had
+little or nothing to do with it. I incline to the
+opinion that Divine Providence has little or
+nothing to do with such deaths only in so far as
+Divine Providence is in the laws of life violated.
+The primary cause of all premature deaths is
+violated law. God does not arbitrarily kill
+anybody. Most of those who die in infancy or
+in early life, come to death by the violation of
+God’s laws written in their bodies. If these
+laws were obeyed in us and in our ancestry,
+most of us ought to live beyond three score
+years and ten, and drop from this life into the
+other in a ripe, mellow old age, just as ripe
+fruit drops from its bough in autumn time.
+But you ask where is God in the many untimely
+deaths that occur? I answer He is present in
+his great hearted goodness to help the dying to
+an eternal victory over death, if they will only
+let Him. He is present to bind up the hearts
+that are breaking with sorrow for the departed,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span>
+and to make a sudden, untimely, and needless
+death a monument of warning to those still
+living, thus making the wrath of man to praise
+Him. If therefore our children die in infancy,
+because we have entailed on them feeble bodies
+by our violation of law, God does not kill them,
+but they die through violated law, and he in
+His goodness takes the little ones to His bosom,
+the seat and source of all law. Let us not then
+charge our sorrows to the willful enactment of
+our Heavenly Father. He taketh no pleasure
+in the death of him that dieth. When he gives
+life to us, He intends that we shall keep it as
+long as possible.</p>
+
+<p>Having given us life, all the forces of His
+boundless nature are engaged to maintain it in
+us until He is ready to harvest us as the farmer
+does the ripened grain. The God of nature and
+the God of grace are not in antagonism. “The
+one God is in all and over all.” A kingdom
+divided against itself cannot stand. If, therefore,
+we die this side of three score years and
+ten—seventy years—we die untimely. It is
+high time that good men were awake to this
+fact, and ceased charging over to Divine Providence
+what legitimately belongs to ourselves.
+“Jesus Christ came to destroy him that hath
+the power of death, that is the devil;” and
+when the philosophy of Jesus is wrought up
+into human lives by obedience to physical laws,
+the power of disease and death over our bodies
+will be very much broken. The victory over
+death can be so far achieved by men in the
+body that they need not die until their minds
+and hearts have received all the development
+in this world that infinite love ordains. That is,
+men may so baffle the monster of death by
+obedience to law as to keep him at bay until<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span>
+their souls have taken on such Christly ripeness
+that they shall burst and break their bodies,
+as the ripening chestnuts break their burrs
+under the frosts of autumn. We have, therefore,
+no right to ascribe to supernatural agency
+any phenomena which can be explained on
+natural principles. Disobedience to law brings
+penalties. There is nothing that men need to
+see more in their efforts at reform than the connection
+between their sufferings and their disobedience.
+Now, disobedience to the laws of life
+brings the penalties, sickness and premature
+death. There is no field where our disobedience
+manifests itself more frequently and with so
+little thought of consequences, as in our false
+and unnatural habits of eating and drinking,
+which damage the body and demoralize the
+soul.</p>
+
+<p>“The Blood is the Life.” This is the declaration
+alike of revelation and of science. Evolutionary
+processes may induce a variation in
+the form or number of the blood corpuscles,
+but they can not set aside the law that the
+building and rebuilding of all the organs involved
+in bodily or mental acts comes from
+the blood alone. The physical, mental and
+moral natures are so intimately connected that
+that which affects one, affects the others. So
+that a man’s mental and moral nature, as well
+as his physical, can very largely be determined
+by the quality of his blood. Now it is a physiological
+fact that our blood is made out of the
+food we eat. That food which enters the mouth
+and is assimilated, makes blood. By the
+marvelous processes of digestion and assimilation
+our food is transformed into blood; and
+the blood passing through the veins and arteries
+repairs the waste tissues and forms new ones,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span>
+thus building up our bodies and sustaining life.
+It follows then that our bodies are made of the
+food we eat. Evidently it was the design of
+our Creator that the prime object of eating
+should be the building up of tissue—muscles,
+bones and brains. That this may be a pleasure
+to us, He has associated with eating the delights
+of appetite. But most of us have so far perverted
+the divine order as to make the pleasures
+of appetite the chief object of eating. “Give
+us something <i>good</i> to eat,” is the great cry of
+humanity, and the goodness of food is gauged
+by the sensations of the palate and not by the
+law of nutrition. Most of us determine the
+goodness of our food by the amount of sensual
+delight it imparts to the palate, no matter how
+much damage it may do beyond to the delicate
+and intricate structure of the stomach and
+viscera. Hence a vast amount of food enters
+the mouth that makes bad blood, blood that in
+itself is corrupt, and carries poisonous particles
+to every organ in the system, putting us
+in splendid condition to be easily provoked to
+some outburst of anger, passion or revenge.
+My hearers, there is a sure and vital connection
+between bad blood and bad morals. Blood
+always tells in morals as well as in muscles.
+Blood has power throughout the whole realm
+of life, whether it be in a human body, in society,
+or in the body of a horse on the racecourse.</p>
+
+<p>You ask, what kind of food makes bad blood?
+I answer, very much of the flesh of animals, that
+forms the staple diet of most of us. Sty-fed
+pigs and stall-fed oxen are fattened under the
+most unlawful and unhealthful conditions possible;
+shut up in the dark, cut off from exercise,
+the fat deposited on their bodies is made<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span>
+up of the waste matter that the life-forces of the
+animal have been unable to expel. This waste
+fatty matter, surcharged with unexpelled excretions,
+is liable to induce disease in all who
+consume it. It has established tuberculosis in
+captive lions, and in cats and dogs, and in other
+carnivora; and it were folly to assume that
+mankind, feeding upon such poisonous food,
+should wholly escape. Even in the living animal
+this effete unexpelled poisonous waste
+breeds vermin, such as have been found in pork,
+which cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking
+or by the process of digestion, and hence live
+and generate in the human body, producing disease
+and death. I am not now making a plea
+for the absolute disuse of animal food, but
+against the bad quality of very much of it, and
+also against the inordinate use of that which
+may be good in quality. A certain amount of
+animal food is useful for our nourishment, especially
+in winter time, because of its heat producing
+qualities. But meat every day, and at
+every meal, is in no way necessary for the
+proper sustenance of the human system.</p>
+
+<p>The use of large quantities of animal food,
+however free from disease-germs, as a <i>staple</i>
+article of diet makes the blood gross, coarse and
+corrupt, filling the body with scrofulous elements,
+sending poison to every part of the system,
+causing it to break out in running sores,
+salt-rheum, tetter and the like, producing an
+inordinate appetite, throwing every organ of
+the body into frictional relations to every other
+organ. It is a matter of every-day surprise to
+me that any human being will consent to eat
+the flesh of pigs. Consider their uncleanness,
+their selfish, greedy habits, the vast amount of
+corruption that enters into their bodies, their<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span>
+want of exercise, their impure breathing, their
+lack of sudorific glands or emunctories,
+through which effete tissues and morbid accumulations
+may be expelled; and think, when
+you eat pork, of the train of horrid elements
+which enter into your body. And your body
+thus debased by a low order of animal flesh,
+the effect must be to make you take on the disposition
+and tendencies of the hog. God’s bill
+of fare in the eleventh chapter of Leviticus
+excluded from the tables of the Jews the hog
+and all water animals except those that had
+fins and scales. This bill of fare was given to
+the Jews not only for the preservation of their
+health, but, as God’s great purpose was moral
+reform, He had an eye single to their moral
+condition in the matter of their eating. Does
+any one doubt that the unhealthy, ugly, and
+vicious elements that make up the flesh of most
+of the animals we eat, enter our blood, and in
+that way affect the disposition or carriage of
+the soul? I am confident, if there was less demand
+for animal food the quality would be
+very much better. Animals would not be subject
+to false and unhealthy generation, and
+false and hasty methods of growth. They
+would come up more in keeping with the laws
+of their nature, and come to us with more
+healthy and better qualities. As for the hog,
+if man would not domesticate him, he could
+not propagate his species. He would become
+extinct just like the lion, leopard, and hyena,
+under the march of civilization. As the blessings
+of civilized life reach us, you notice the
+carnivorous or flesh-eating animals become
+extinct. So it seems to me that with the developments
+of civilization there ought to be such
+moral refinements in human beings that they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>
+would grow away from their carnivorous tendencies,
+and eat such food as tends to develop
+the mental and moral faculties, and not the
+animal propensities. Among animals you find
+that those that live on the flesh of other animals
+are the most vicious and destructive, such
+as the lion, leopard, and hyena. Those animals
+that live on the grains and the higher
+order of foods are the best, most beautiful,
+and most useful, such as the horse and cow.
+If this law obtains among animals, why not
+among men? Beyond a doubt it does. If you
+want proof of this, study the character and
+lives of those who live largely on animal food,
+and you will find them very animal-like in all
+their relations—restive, impatient, passionate,
+ugly in their ways, fiery in their disposition,
+easily provoked, readily put out of humor.
+And if you could look into their private lives
+you would find all their baser qualities having
+the fullest sway, stopping, it may be, inside
+the fence of human laws and customs, but seldom
+considering the claims of a higher and
+divine law. I charge, then, very much of our
+household misery, domestic woe, and connubial
+wretchedness, to unrestrained lust begotten
+in the body by the inordinate use of animal
+food.</p>
+
+<p>We forget, my hearers, that the great law of
+nature, “Like produces like,” is universal.
+“Every seed after its kind is the law of all
+creation.” There is no exception to this law.
+This principle obtains not only in the production
+of life, but in the processes of its development.
+If my position about the intimacy of
+soul and body is true, then, if a man’s body is
+made up chiefly of flesh taken from diseased
+animals, and his whole physical frame is satu<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span>rated
+with the irritating and exciting condiments
+of what is popularly called good food,
+the whole bias of his bodily powers will be
+toward animalism. All the impressions and
+impulses that the soul receives from such a
+body are beastly and debasing. Like produces
+like in the formation of physical tissue out of
+food, as well as in the generation of stock in
+the stall. Hence I hold that very much of the
+wickedness of mankind is the natural expression
+of physical beastliness rather than the outflow
+of innate viciousness. A body made up
+largely of all manner of nerve-goading, passion-producing,
+anger-generating elements,
+such as are found in the gross animal dishes
+with their stimulating adjuncts, just as surely
+drives the soul to sin as a tempest drives a
+feather before it.</p>
+
+<p>As modern research has proved that bad or
+imperfect food when digested surely makes bad
+or imperfect blood, incapable of performing its
+appointed work of upbuilding and of reparation,
+so has science demonstrated that perfect
+food is one of the most potent among remedies
+for the relief of many diseased conditions.
+Since the blood is the life, and since blood is
+merely food emulsified, mingled with certain
+digestive fluids and colored by the oxygen with
+which it is brought in contact in the lungs—it
+is easy to understand how perfect food may
+create perfect blood, which shall presently
+supplant that which is feeble, that which is
+lacking in waste-repairing power, that which
+fails to give strength to the muscles or vigor to
+the brain, and may thus become the most
+effective medicine. A perusal of recent professional
+medical literature evinces the great
+stress which is now laid upon dietetics in the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span>
+treatment of all diseases. The approach to this
+high altitude has been gradual, but sure. At
+first foods were made the vehicles for drugs;
+and cod-liver oil and malt-extracts, which are
+only concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon
+varieties, were loaded with lime and iron and
+strychnine and phosphorous and scores of
+other drugs. But perfect results were secured
+by the use of these foods without the drug
+additions, and so the foods were at last given
+the credit which all along belonged to them.
+And so it has come to pass that with advanced
+medical men, in a vast majority of cases of
+sickness, the support of the life-powers by
+proper nutrients is the foremost thought, the
+best food proving to be the best medicine.</p>
+
+<p>The kind of food a man eats, and the time
+and manner of his eating it, are not merely a
+question of medicine, but one of the first questions
+of morals. The effects of food on the
+passions and feelings are thus described by
+Prior:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+  <div class="verse">“Observe the various operations</div>
+  <div class="verse">Of food and drink in several nations;</div>
+  <div class="verse">Was ever Tartar fierce and cruel</div>
+  <div class="verse">Upon the strength of water gruel?</div>
+  <div class="verse">But who shall stand his rage and force</div>
+  <div class="verse">When first he rides, then eats, his horse?</div>
+  <div class="verse">Salads and eggs and lighter fare,</div>
+  <div class="verse">Tune the Italian spark’s guitar;</div>
+  <div class="verse">And if I take Don Confrere right,</div>
+  <div class="verse">Pudding and beef make Britons fight.”</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>If, therefore, our meat has something to do
+with our morals, or if our food in some way
+affects our faith, it seems to me that many of
+our efforts at moral reform ought to be preceded
+by instruction in hygiene. In other
+words, efforts to make a man genuinely devotional
+ought to be prefaced by efforts to correct
+bad dietetic habits. A father, by prayer and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span>
+precept and flogging, had done his best to reform
+his boy, whose staple diet was meat and
+sausage and pie and cake at his meals, with
+lunch between. The family physician said to
+the father, “If you will put a leech back of
+each of your boy’s ears once a week for a
+month, you will do more to reform him than
+your preaching and pounding will do in a
+year.” The father asked for the philosophy
+of this prescription. “Why,” said the doctor,
+“your boy has bad blood, and too much of it;
+he must behave badly or he would burst.”
+“Then,” said the father, “I’ll change his diet
+from beef and pie to hominy and milk.” In
+three months thereafter a better boy for his
+age could not be found in the neighborhood.
+The acrid, biting, evil blood had not become
+food for leeches, but it had done its wicked
+work and passed away, and a cooler, blander,
+purer, safer blood had been supplied from
+sweeter, gentler food sources.</p>
+
+<p>In your use of animal food be very particular
+as to quality and quantity. Lamb and
+mutton are considered the most healthy by the
+authorities. Avoid as you would contagion
+the use of pork, unless you raise it yourselves,
+and feed it with good grain, and not the refuse
+of the house or barn, and keep the animals as
+clean as you do your pet dogs. Never fry
+your meat with hogs’ lard, but stew, bake,
+boil, or broil it. Use hogs’ lard in no form for
+cooking. Most of it is said to be reeking with
+scrofulous elements. Displace it in <i>all</i> your
+cooking by milk or butter. If you want to
+aid and not hinder the growth of your soul
+Godward, if you desire to have pure
+thoughts and a pure heart and a pure life, see
+that you make your blood out of pure food, or<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span>
+you will find that your soul will have an enemy
+within the castle of its body more treacherous
+and deadly than any of its enemies
+without.</p>
+
+<p>There is another popular article of food
+among us, which has a vital connection with
+bodily disorders and bad exhibition of character.
+Good in proper quantities and in its
+sphere, when made the largest and chief article
+of diet, for every meal, the one kind of food
+upon which we depend most for building up
+the wastes of our bodies, it indirectly does
+great damage. I refer to the ordinary fine
+flour bread made out of bolted wheat meal.</p>
+
+<p>It is proper to remember that the white flour
+from which our bread is chiefly made, and
+which is deemed the staff of life, is a purely
+artificial product—a selection from that perfect
+food combination which exists in wheat. A
+competent food chemist has compared the regular
+milling processes to one by which the fat
+part of an ox should be saved for food, and the
+lean part—the albuminous or nitrogenous portion—discarded
+and given to the dogs. The
+comparison is well based, since the starch of
+wheat, which is valued because of its whiteness,
+is a carbo-hydrate, chemically allied to
+the fat of meat; while the dark nutriment of
+wheat, which, because of its color, is discarded
+with the bran with which it is found in
+contact in nature, is a vegetable nitrogenous
+albumen, rich in mineral elements, and almost
+identical, chemically, with the lean or muscular
+tissue of beef.</p>
+
+<p>The process of bolting or refining takes from
+the wheat most of the phosphates and nitrates,
+the elements that are chiefly required for
+making nerves, muscles, bones, and brains.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span>
+The phosphates and nitrates being removed by
+bolting, very little remains in the flour except
+the starchy carbonates, the heat and fat producing
+elements. The use of fine flour bread
+as a staple article of food introduces too much
+heat and fat-producing elements into the system,
+and where there is too much carbon or
+heating substance, it tends rather to provoke
+the system to unnatural and abnormal action,
+and instead of serving as an element to warm
+the body, its tendency is to burn or consume,
+heating and irritating all the organs, getting
+one into that state which is popularly known
+as “hot-blooded.”
+The fine white flour ordinarily used has two-thirds
+of the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment
+that God put in the wheat taken out.
+Unless these deficiencies are made up by some
+other foods, the exclusive use of fine flour
+bread will leave the nerves and bones poorly
+nourished, producing in some systems nervousness,
+dyspepsia, and all the physical ills
+that follow these diseases, together with impatience,
+fretfulness, and irritability. God intended
+that all the nutritive properties He put
+in the wheat should stay in it for purposes of
+symmetrical nourishment. Fine flour bread
+may be used for purposes of producing heat in
+the system, but it does not feed hungry nerves
+or starving bones.</p>
+
+<p>One reason why children fed chiefly on white
+bread feel hungry nearly all the time, and demand
+so much food between meals, is found in
+the fact that their bodies are insufficiently
+nourished. Their bones and nerves not receiving
+the nitrates and phosphates they need, are
+suffering from hunger.</p>
+
+<p>When children are fed with food that thor<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span>oughly
+nourishes their whole system, they will
+seldom desire to eat between meals and thus retard
+the process of digestion and lay the foundation
+for dyspepsia and all its kindred evils.</p>
+
+<p>Flour made of all the nutriment of pure
+white wheat, unbolted, yet without the shell or
+husk or bran, contains all the elements necessary
+for the nourishment of the body. The
+flour called Graham flour rarely contains these
+elements. There is a great deal of bogus stuff
+in the market, which has brought the genuine
+article into disrepute, and made many thoughtful
+people disgusted with everything in that
+line. Very much that is called Graham flour is
+made up of a mixture of fine bolted flour, and
+the woody fibre of the wheat, which has no
+nutriment in it at all. This wretched fabrication
+has tended to make all whole wheat
+products unpopular. The woody bran is
+worse than worthless as food, or to mix with
+food. You might as well eat the shells of nuts,
+or the husks of corn, or the skins of potatoes,
+as the silex coats of wheat. To overload the
+alimentary canal with such foreign indigestible
+matter has no other tendency but to
+weaken and debilitate it. Very few millers
+trouble themselves to make a perfect whole
+wheat flour. I know but one establishment in
+the world where wheat and other grains are
+treated precisely as they should be, with all
+the harmful part removed and the rest made
+digestible by harmless methods, and that is the
+Health Food Company of New York.<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a></p>

+food given to man except the pure gluten of
+wheat. I am not now advocating the views of
+the extremists, the Grahamites, neither do I
+counsel the disuse of fine flour bread. This
+latter should be used in connection with unbolted
+flour, but should not be relied on to
+furnish you with all the nutritious elements
+that your bodies need. There is a golden mean
+between the extremes of vegetarianism and exclusive
+flesh diet which the common sense of
+thoughtful people will find. During the warm
+season a diet made up chiefly of fruits, grains,
+and vegetables will be most healthful for body
+and soul. Instead of the scrofula-breeding
+pork or ham for breakfast, use some one of the
+great variety of grains, especially oat-meal,
+than which there are few better foods for growing
+children and hard working adults. Instead
+of fried cakes, rich pastry, and candies, use
+fruit, of which there is an abundant variety,
+ten-fold more nourishing than pies or cakes,
+and very cleansing to the blood. Let brown
+bread, Johnnie-cake, and corn-meal pudding
+supplant fine wheat bread as much as possible.
+Eat your meals regularly and slowly, eating
+nothing between them. Eat sparingly of meat
+at mid-day, and let it be good fresh beef, mutton,
+or fish, well cooked. Let the evening meal
+be taken not later than six o’clock. Discard
+tea and coffee, and make your own coffee with
+browned crusts of bread, or burned whole
+wheat.<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> Follow these suggestions and you will<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span>

+
+<p>Again, we derange our bodies and demoralize
+our souls by eating too much. The great
+end of life with many of us is to eat. The
+American dining-room has become, for the most
+part, a place for the indulgence of animalism,
+and not for the development of the affections
+or social qualities. A distinguished American
+physician said: “I am sixty-six years old, and
+I have eaten enough food to answer my wants
+for 100 years, and yet I am what most people
+call a small eater.” The popular habit of using,
+inordinately, appetizers in the shape of the
+ordinary table condiments, begets a false and
+unnatural appetite. The time comes when
+honest food palls upon the depraved senses.
+The pampered, jaded appetite no longer finds
+satisfaction in simple food-flavors; the palate
+must be prompted with pungent things. The
+cook, who is never a physiologist, responds to
+the demand for spurs to appetite, and finds
+them in mixtures of spices and peppers and
+mustards and acids and essential oils and
+chemicals, and multitudes of non-food substances.
+With these, and various biting alcohols,
+the delicate lining of the stomach is inflamed,
+inducing a desire for food which
+passes for what it is not, namely, honest
+appetite. The palate demands more food than
+the stomach can digest or the system assimilate.
+Poor nature, anxious to do the best she
+can, adapts herself to the unnatural situation,
+and forces all the other organs to do the same;
+and thus we become accustomed to over-eating
+and do not know it.</p>
+
+<p>That all who accustom themselves to a stim<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span>ulating
+diet, to spices and wines and other irritating
+things, consume too much food, cannot,
+I think, be gainsayed. The amount and kind
+of food needed depends upon the individual
+habits and the kind of waste to be supplied. A
+wholly idle man should thrive well on cucumbers
+and water-melons, which are chiefly water;
+while the hard-working hod-carrier would
+demand several pounds of solid carbon and
+nitrogen daily. It is the sedentary, the well-to-do,
+the man of leisure, who suffers most
+from over-eating; and it behooves him to carefully
+avoid all goads and spurs to appetite.
+With the simplest flavors he is nearly certain
+to over-eat and thus to suffer. With an appetite
+stimulated and induced, without corresponding
+out-door labor to create a genuine need and
+demand for it, digestive failure and assimilative
+bankruptcy is only a question of time.</p>
+
+<p>The stomach, overloaded, performs its work
+imperfectly, and thus imposes on all the organs
+an extra amount of work, which breaks them
+down prematurely, causing diseases of every
+kind, such as nervous headache, sick headache,
+rush of blood to the head, apoplexy, sore
+eyes, deafness, erysipelas, neuralgia of the
+face, decayed teeth, catarrh, bronchitis, asthma,
+nausea, common colic, congestion of the liver,
+and a host of other diseases too unpleasant to
+mention. In some cases there is a disposition
+of too much fatty matter in the system; and
+many people suppose that fatness is a sign of
+healthfulness, which is false. No one needs
+any more fat on his body than is essential to
+form cushions for his tendons and muscles; if
+too much, there is a depletion of strength.</p>
+
+<p>The crowded and overloaded condition of the
+system makes the body take on very many<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span>
+false manifestations. The irritation produced
+in an overcharged system manifests itself in
+different forms in different individuals. In some
+it produces nervousness, making them rack
+the flesh off their bones and keeping them poor;
+and in others it produces sluggishness, retaining
+defunct matter in the system, making them
+corpulent. As I have said, our highly-seasoned
+foods create morbid and abnormal appetites.</p>
+
+<p>As a consequence we eat too much and too
+often, the system being borne down by overwork
+in its digestive department, there comes
+a demand for stimulating drinks and medicines
+to take off the depression and to keep up tone;
+and to make ourselves feel good, after having
+made ourselves feel bad, by improper eating,
+some of us resort to tea and coffee, and others
+to alcohol, and then the excitement produced
+demands a sedative, and some of us smoke and
+others chew a poisonous weed called tobacco.
+Thus the poor body, subject to these revulsions
+of unnatural action in overwork and stimulation
+and sedation, is goaded to abnormities
+and unnatural action, sending up to the soul
+no other influences but those which drive it to
+moral madness and vicious deeds.</p>
+
+<p>Now, vice is a morbid exhibition of the will.
+The will is represented through the physical
+organ, the brain, and the brain is straightway
+affected by the condition of the body and the
+state of the blood. The will is that power of
+the mind by which we put forth volitions and
+perform actions. If the pressure of bad blood
+is on the brain, that same pressure is on the
+will; hence a sick man or a diseased man will
+do a great many bad things through the power
+of bad blood on the will. Vice, then, is both<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span>
+the result and cause of physical derangement.
+Hence that vice of vices, drunkenness.</p>
+
+<p>Drunkenness may be caused by bad physical
+conditions, brought about by bad habits of
+eating. Would it not be well for us to look
+into bad table habits for one of the reasons
+why so many of our young men become drunkards?
+May there not be some cause working
+in the flesh of our youths, driving them to intemperance?
+May it not be possible that kind
+fathers and mothers for years have been filling
+up the awful gap of 40,000 dead drunkards
+annually by feeding their children upon stimulating,
+highly-seasoned, innutritious foods?
+There is no doubt in my mind that every man
+is a glutton before he is a drunkard. If nature’s
+laws are violated, a man’s sensations will
+be all abnormal, and the mainsprings of his
+life will be befouled, and the result will be
+irregular and vicious expressions of all the
+appetites, both for food and drink. I am,
+therefore, confident that the widespread appetite
+for intoxicating liquors is largely due to
+the false relations that the American people
+hold to their food. We cannot hope much
+from moral suasion and legal enactments so
+long as we overlook the physical condition of
+the drunkard. If you would cure disease or
+vice effectually, you must shut off that which
+nourishes them, instead of putting all your
+force in efforts to antidote them. “Let the
+wicked forsake his way,” and then turn unto
+the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and
+to our God, and he will abundantly pardon
+him. There are 200,000 drunkards in the
+United States, 40,000 of whom go annually to
+premature graves. There are 20,000 prostitutes,
+whose average life in their profession is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span>
+four years. Do you believe this vast army of
+immortals go willingly to ruin? There are
+causes lying back of mere perversities of soul
+in the common every-day dietetic habits of
+these forlorn ones.</p>
+
+<p>Eating and drinking are always associated
+with the bar and brothel, and if you will take
+notice, the eating is always of that kind of food
+which goes straight for the animal nature, and
+wakes up in a man everything that is beastly.</p>
+
+<p>The whole tendency of the food furnished at
+the popular bar-room restaurant is to stir the
+baser elements in humanity and keep up the
+demand for alcoholic stimulants. No wonder
+the drinking saloons can afford to give what
+they call a “free lunch.” Care is taken to
+furnish such food as fires the appetite for strong
+drink, and the rum-seller gets his pay for his
+“free lunch” through the sale of the whisky
+that must inevitably follow it. Those who,
+living on highly stimulating foods, but do not
+drink strong drinks, will find that the bias of
+their bodily powers, instead of being toward
+mental and spiritual spheres, will be toward
+animal indulgences, dragging the mind and
+soul into servitude to the flesh, and where there
+are any moral aspirations, making the conflict
+between the higher and lower nature so intense
+that a vast amount of moral force is wasted in
+self-conflict that ought to go into the world’s
+redemptive agencies for saving the lost.</p>
+
+<p>I am confident that the American habit of
+eating sumptuous and late suppers, whether at
+our homes or church fairs or festivals, is damaging
+the physical, mental, and moral health
+of our nation more than any other one thing of
+its kind; more damaging, because it has the
+appearance of innocency, and the sanction of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span>
+our fathers and mothers and some of our pastors.</p>
+
+<p>Furthermore, the habit of eating hurriedly,
+or hastily, is preying upon the vital and moral
+forces of many of us. A meal eaten hastily or
+nervously, under the pressure of intense mental
+activity or nervous tension, or great weariness,
+begins its work of nutrition under the
+greatest possible disadvantage. All our meals
+should be eaten calmly and deliberately, so as
+to thoroughly masticate the food, and not impose
+on the stomach and viscera the legitimate
+work of the teeth. In the interest of health to
+soul as well as body I enter an earnest plea for
+more time for eating, and especially at noon,
+when most hard working people take their
+principal meal. Clerks, business men, and
+school teachers, mechanics, laborers, and our
+children who attend the public schools, need
+more time at noon to properly dispose of the
+chief meal of the day. No better investment
+could be made to secure the best possible physical,
+intellectual, financial, and moral returns
+than for all classes of people to take two hours
+at mid-day for resting and eating dinner. Selfish
+greed demands otherwise, and makes a
+show of gain; but the loss is sure to come in
+due time to all parties concerned.</p>
+
+<p>My friends, when will we fast-living, fast-eating,
+fast-working, and fast-dying Americans
+learn the great lesson, that life is a
+unit, that the Divine Trinity in us, namely,
+the physical, intellectual, and spiritual, is one
+life, with different phases of expression; and
+whatever mars one mars the whole, and whatever
+builds up one most surely builds up
+the others? All our powers are many members
+in one body, with an inter-dependence<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span>
+which is eternal. Slight your body, and you
+smite your soul and enervate the mind. Corrupt
+the mind, and you debase both body and
+soul. When will those who profess to be God’s
+children by the adoption of the Holy Ghost,
+catch the Spirit of His great Apostle Paul,
+who, more than any other sacred writer, maintained
+the sanctity of the human body and its
+subservience to the mind and soul. Hear him:
+“I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of
+God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
+holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
+reasonable service, and be not conformed to
+this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing
+of your minds, that ye may prove what is
+that good and acceptable and perfect will of
+God.” I admit the power of the Holy Ghost
+in the work of regeneration, but is there not
+something for us to do, in keeping our bodies
+under, “lest we become cast-aways?”
+I do not say that <i>all</i> human evils and ills
+have their primary origin in physical habits,
+but I do say that the great mass of impulsions
+from the excited, inflamed, over-stimulated
+body toward the soul, are in the interests of
+sin. The economy of salvation orders otherwise.
+By the Gospel the body may become
+the temple of the Holy Ghost. By the law of
+self-denial of the New Testament, our bodies,
+with all their fiery elements, may be made an
+inspiration to our souls. It is not the purpose
+of God that a life-time warfare shall be kept
+up between the body and the soul. There
+ought to come to every true Christian a day of
+final victory over his bodily powers, in which
+they will cease their rebellion, and come into
+the sweetest union with the soul in its great
+work of developing a likeness to Christ.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Why are we called upon to present the body
+a living sacrifice to God, if its powers are not
+to be sanctified to holy purposes? Why should
+we spend all our life waiting for the adoption
+of our whole nature, to wit, the redemption of
+the body, as well as the soul.</p>
+
+<p>Our fondest dreams for the progress of humanity
+must be based in a newly created body
+by strict obedience to the laws of God, written
+on every fibre, tissue, muscle, and bone. We
+cannot develop the human brain and heart to
+the possibilities that God has put in them,
+while they are the tenants of bodies the laws
+of which are violated in the commonest habits
+of every-day life.</p>
+
+<p>Regeneration does a mighty work for us;
+but generation has also much to do with our
+highest and best development. The sins of the
+fathers must cease, so that the sons may be
+spared their terrible visitations; the accumulated
+virtues of parents must roll over on their
+children in purer, stronger, and better bodies
+until by a blessed economy the whole race shall
+be exalted to heirship with Christ through
+loving obedience to all the laws of physical as
+well as moral life.</p>
+
+<p>Why may we not now, under the laws of
+redemption, begin to build a new heaven and a
+new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our
+souls are redeemed and renewed by obedience
+and faith, why not secure also the redemption
+of our bodies? I know it is slow work to
+teach the subtle but mighty elements of self-restraint.
+I know the flesh lusteth against the
+spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the
+victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.</p>

+
+<p>In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler &amp; Wells
+for the manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall
+far short of my duty if I did not allude more particularly than
+seemed appropriate in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work
+which is being done by the Health Food Company, and to the
+great excellence of its products. If these remarks were addressed
+to physicians, the simple mention of the name of the
+company would suffice, because there are probably very few
+medical men and women who are not aware of the good work
+of this organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for
+invalids of every type, as well as for such as are in health
+and are solicitous thus to continue. The work of the company
+has, from the beginning, been under the wise direction of a scientific
+head, himself an original investigator, and having
+an ample acquaintance with all the truths which have been
+evolved by modern scientific research. While it is very important
+that physicians should know all that is to be known
+concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large
+opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world
+may not go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the
+vast body of intelligent readers and church-goers should be
+made aware of the fact that in the matter of food and its preparation
+there are laws which are not comprehended by ignorant
+cooks, which may not be violated with impunity, the
+scope and importance of which are being more perfectly understood
+from year to year, and which, in their practical application
+by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand
+work in the up-building and re-building of human bodies and
+brains. Especially am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many
+of whom, I am persuaded, suffer from unsupplied
+waste of brain and nerve power—should more fully appreciate
+the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues of the body may
+be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may nearly
+or quite fail to supply or replenish the waste of the delicate
+brain and nervous system; and should understand how the
+best foods for the active brain-worker can be procured.</p>
+
+<p>A dyspeptic myself, a member of a dyspeptic family, and
+observing much of that kind of misery and weakness which
+arises from digestive feebleness, I have been compelled to study
+the subject of food in its relation to bodily and mental and
+moral well-being, during many years; and it is not less a pleas<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span>ure
+than a duty to say that an intimate acquaintance with the
+researches of the Health Food Co. and its products, has convinced
+me that this organization is the center and source of the
+best information obtainable in any land, on the subject of dietetics;
+that the food which it prepares from many substances,
+especially from the cereal grains, are the best in the world;
+and that all who seek to live wisely and well, all who are strong
+and would continue so, all who are feeble and would fain be
+strong, all in whom the spirit to lead noble and useful lives is
+willing, but in whom the flesh, alas! is weak—owe it to themselves
+and to all whom they have power to influence, to learn
+all that can be learned concerning the great work of this company.
+In this brief Appendix it is not possible to allude, even
+remotely, to all its investigations in the domain of dietetics,
+nor to fully indicate the valuable results which it has achieved.
+I shall be justified, however, in referring to a few of its more
+prominent applications of scientific thought to the daily needs
+of humanity.</p>
+
+<p>It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by
+whatever “new process,” or under whatever brand, was a
+robbed, impoverished food, and that attached to the bran or
+husk—which is excluded as it should be—there is a layer of
+nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows and horses.
+It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should be
+deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this
+wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which
+there is no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised
+a method of removing all the woody, branny, siliceous
+coats from the grain without wasting one atom of the nutriment.
+Seeing that ordinary mill-stone grinding tended to
+heat and impair the flour, it devised other and better methods
+of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole wheat
+flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called
+“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with
+nothing taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious
+addition of grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the
+woody fibre and silex which form the protecting, innutritious
+shell. Thus the theories of the value of bread from the entire
+wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John C. Warren, of Boston, in
+1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester Graham, were
+taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained
+in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth
+really existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved
+by exact experiments and by scientific methods, has at
+length been made of real value to the human race instead of
+continuing to be a source of possible, and often of positive
+injury, by virtue of the errors originally attending it. The
+perfect, branless flour of the entire grain is called the <span class="smcap">Cold
+Blast Whole Wheat Flour</span>, and is, beyond question, the
+most perfect bread-food in the world.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[Pg 32]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Again, chemistry long ago proved that the nitrogenous, albuminous
+element of the great food staples (the cereal grains)
+known as <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>, was the chief source of muscular tissue in
+animals, whether obtained from grasses, seeds, or other vegetable
+substances; that it could be digested in a mixture of 1
+part gastric juice and 10 parts water; that it could be separated
+from its universal attendant, starch, by washing; and that a
+kind of tasteless, insipid bread could then be made from it,
+which was understood to be useful in a disease called diabetes.
+Up to a few years ago these facts comprised pretty much all
+that the scientific world knew about <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>. It was known
+to exist; Koopman, the German chemist, had shown it to be
+readily digestible; and it was non-convertible into sugar, and
+therefore a safe food for those to whom starch, or the sugar
+which results from digested starch, is little less than poison.
+These slender facts were not sufficient to satisfy the accurate
+investigator at the head of the Health Food Co. He deemed
+it probable that this easily digested <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>, this source of all
+the tissues of the ox except the fatty ones, would be found to
+be of vast value as a separate food for human beings, if while
+being practically isolated from the starch and bran associates
+which nature provides, it could still retain the pleasant grainy
+flavor of the cereal which supplies it. He began a series of
+investigations to determine the source of the agreeable flavor
+existing in sound wheat, and—as modified by milling and cooking—in
+commercial wheat flour and the foods prepared therefrom.
+The results of the researches of Prof. Henry B. Hill, of
+Harvard University, and of those contemporaneously conducted
+by Adolph Baeyer, of Munich, led him to conclude that to the
+oil known as “furfurol,” existing in the exterior bran
+and interior cellulose of the grain, the flour and bread chiefly
+owed their desirable flavors. The cellulose of the interior of
+the wheat was found to contain enough of the flavoring oil to
+impart to the insipid gluten an agreeable taste. Accordingly,
+methods were devised for separating the gluten and the cellulose
+from most of the starch, these three elements alone
+remaining after the bran coats were peeled off.</p>
+
+<p>This “whole wheat gluten,” as it is termed by the company,
+has proved a most valuable food, not only for the diabetic, to
+whom it seems to present the chief hope of recovery, but to
+the dyspeptic and feeble, whether in brain or body. Its use has
+been attended with such signally successful results as to attract
+the attention of large numbers of prominent medical men,
+among whom I may mention Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue
+Hospital Medical College, New York city, who passes upon it
+a warm encomium in his last great volume. [See Flint’s
+Clinical Medicine, pp. 452-53.]</p>
+
+<p>If I did not feel quite certain that the vast majority of those
+who shall peruse this paragraph would seek from the Health
+Food Company, or from some of its many agents in various<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</a></span>
+parts of the country, the very able and interesting pamphlets
+which it mails free to all applicants, I should deem it my duty
+to allude to other and not less valuable applications of scientific
+thought to the vast problems involved in the preparation
+of foods for humanity, from infancy to old age. To adequately
+describe them all, would require a volume; let me content myself
+with an allusion to one or two of the many.</p>
+
+<p>There is a digestive element existing in the saliva and in the
+fluid called the “pancreatic juice,” which bears the name of
+“diastase.” This diastase exists nowhere outside of the animal
+economy, except in seeds during the process of germination,
+or sprouting. When the seed, or cereal, or vegetable, is
+exposed to proper influences of moisture and warmth, such, for
+example, as are supplied by the earth in spring-time, the process
+of germination begins, and from the germ diastase is liberated.
+The function of the diastase thus set free is the conversion
+of the food elements in the seed into assimilative nutriment
+for the young and tender plant. It is the digestant of
+food, whether the thing fed be plant or animal. Now, while
+physiologists have long been ready to concede that when, as is
+common in diseased conditions, this important digestant is absent
+from the saliva and pancreatic juice, the conversion of
+all starchy foods is suspended, it has not been supposed that
+diastase has any marked influence upon the emulsification and
+digestion of food-substances not containing starch, nor had any
+food-chemist availed himself of the diastase in cereals, if I except
+the development and possible subsequent retention, to
+some extent, of diastase in some of the preparations of malt.
+The Health Food Company develops and employs the cereal
+diastase in a most effective way. It removes the germinal
+molecules from wheat and barley, reduces them to powder,
+forms the powder into a dough, encloses it in a steam-tight vessel
+and subjects the vessel and contents for a protracted period to
+a temperature of 150ºF. The latent diastase is thus brought into
+being, while the low temperature and the close vessel completely
+prevent its volatilization and loss. The diastatic dough
+is subsequently dried and powdered, and is then packed and
+labeled, ready for use, demanding no cooking, and no other
+preparation than simple moistening with milk or water. Used
+with milk it is found to prevent that tough and curdy coagulation
+which renders milk so oppressive, “bilious” and indigestible
+in many cases. The name given to this diastatic food
+which I have mentioned, is “The Universal Food,” a name
+suggested by a leading physician, who believed it to be universally
+applicable to enfeebled conditions in which better
+nourishment was needed. It is admirably adapted to the nourishment
+of infants, as diastase is almost entirely lacking during
+the first years of life, and may wisely be supplied from
+exterior sources.</p>
+
+<p>The Company’s great work for the multitude, however, is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</a></span>
+in the preparation of wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas,
+beans, and other seeds. These are perfectly cleansed from all
+impurities, the outer bran-coats, husks, and pellicles are removed,
+and the interior, soluble, digestible food-portion is
+admirably prepared for ready cooking. Persons who have a
+distaste for Graham and crushed wheat, and oat-meal and
+other cereals, find in the Fine Granulated Wheat, the Coarse
+Granulated Wheat, the Pearled Wheat, Pearled Oats, Granulated
+Oats, Granulated Barley, Rye, Corn, etc., manufactured
+by this Company, delicious foods, which, once adopted, are
+continued from choice.</p>
+
+<p>I leave this important subject with my readers, again urging
+them to seek to learn more concerning it. To be placed in
+possession of information which I do not assume to be competent
+to impart, it is only necessary that you address a postal
+card to the Health Food Company, No. 74 Fourth Ave., cor.
+10th street, New York, N.&nbsp;Y., asking for all its Health Food
+literature, and appending your address, and you will be quite
+certain to receive the entertaining pamphlets by due course of
+mail. The agents of the company, also, cordially respond to
+calls for circulars and orders for the Health Foods.</p>
+
+<hr class="tb" />
+
+<p>Let me ask my readers not to content themselves with sending
+for and perusing, however carefully, the instructive pamphlets
+of the Health Food Company. If you are sick you will
+do well to describe your condition by letter to the company,
+and its medical head will write you which of the foods are
+adapted to your case; you can then order a supply of such as
+he advises. If you are in good health and merely seek to supply
+yourself with delicate and nutritive substances which will
+have the effect to keep you strong and well, you will be able to
+select from their list, without special advice. Advice from the
+medical man of the organization costs nothing, however, and
+should be asked in all doubtful or diseased states. J.&nbsp;F.&nbsp;C.</p>

+<span class="smcap">Gentlemen</span>:—
+</p>
+
+<p>I should like to state to your Company the great success
+I have had in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the
+advisability of letting the medical profession generally know
+of this simple and efficacious remedy for constipation. I
+have prescribed these Suppositories almost daily in my practice
+this winter, and have often been astonished at the permanent
+results obtained. It seems that in great torpor of
+the rectum and descending colon it is especially useful.</p>
+
+<p>I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation
+was so great that very often—much against my will—I
+was forced to administer a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use
+of these Gluten Suppositories she has remained well—over
+six months. It does not cure <i>all</i> cases, but in all the instances
+where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some benefit
+has been derived.</p>
+
+<p>You may utilize this endorsement if it will make this
+remedy more widely known among the profession.</p>

+<p><small>Is now in the twelfth year of its existence. Its valuable and
+important work has been recognized and commended by
+thousands of physicians, by many writers for the medical
+and general press, and by multitudes of the sick and suffering
+who have found health and comfort through its products.
+It has had many imitators, but it has conscientiously
+adhered to its original mission of preparing</small></p>
+
+
+<p class="center"><b>Perfect Foods for Sick and Well</b>.</p>
+
+<div class="small">
+<p>Basing its work upon exact science, and being presided
+over by a scientific man, it has gained the support and co-operation
+of the scientific world. A year or two since, a
+competitor in the manufacture of a single article, known as
+“Whole Wheat Flour,” secured the publication of an article
+from the pen of a Dr. Ephraim Cutter—styling himself “a
+microscopist”—in which he asserted his ability to determine
+the relative percentages of gluten and starch by the use of
+the microscope alone. He furthermore said that while the
+food-value of a bread-flour depended upon its percentage
+of gluten, the various flours of the Health Food Company
+contained no gluten whatever; and that the flour made by
+the “Franklin Mills” (Dr. Cutter’s employer) was so rich in
+gluten as to make it “a blessing to mankind.” These
+grossly absurd statements called forth some very scathing
+criticisms and much ridicule by the medical and secular
+press, and induced Prof. R. H. Thurston, of the Stevens
+Institute of Technology—who had derived benefit from the
+Health Foods—to invite his colleague, Prof. Albert N.
+Leeds, Public Analyst for the State of New Jersey and Professor
+of Chemistry in the Stevens Institute, to microscopically
+examine and chemically analyze the food substances
+alluded to, for the purpose of determining the accuracy or
+inaccuracy of Cutter’s statements, and, furthermore, to settle
+the question of the value of the “microscopic analysis,” for
+which so much had been claimed by Cutter. Prof. Leeds’
+careful work conclusively showed that the microscope was
+<i>valuable to detect adulterations</i>, but valueless as a means of
+determining the percentages of the various natural constituents
+of a cereal flour; so he proceeded to apply the crucial
+test of chemical analysis, with striking results. (In our limited
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span>space we can only briefly quote from the Professor’s
+published statement, but we are assured that he will cheerfully
+mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one who shall
+address him at the College named, situated in Hoboken,
+New Jersey.) Premising that wheat in its natural state contains,
+on the average, about 12 per cent. of albuminoids—chiefly
+gluten—he found in the Health Food Company’s
+Whole Wheat Flour 16.74 per cent. of this substance. Of
+the “Franklin Mills” flour, said to be made from “entire
+wheat,” he writes: “It contains 8.55 per cent. of albuminoids,
+chiefly gluten, together with a very large percentage
+of cellulose or finely-ground bran. It is greatly lacking in
+nutritive elements.”</p>
+<p>Prof. Leeds testifies that the Glutens prepared by the
+Health Food Company are richer in the gluten element
+than any which he has been able to obtain, whether of
+American or foreign origin, and more than twice as rich as
+a so-called gluten made by Farwell &amp; Rhines, of Rochester.
+He also finds by analysis that “Robinson’s Prepared Barley
+Flour” contains only 5.13 per cent. of albuminoids,
+while the Health Food Company’s barley flour, retailing for
+less than one-eighth as much, contains 13.83 per cent.,
+showing it to be nearly three times as rich in substantial
+nutriment. The flours and foods of the Health Food
+Company are nourishing in health and remedial in sickness.
+Their good work is in the improvement of the
+blood-making processes, in better digestion, in increased
+nutrition. It is their function to ably supplement all such
+remedial measures as skill and science may suggest. Many
+physicians have testified to the increased readiness of diseases
+to yield to their treatment when the patients have
+been sustained by the bland, soluble, non-irritating, nourishing
+nutriments prepared by the Health Food Company.
+Its products still stand at the head of the long list of food-preparations
+for infants and invalids, for the sick who seek
+to recover health and strength, for the strong who desire to
+remain strong. It has elevated food and its preparation to
+the dignity of a science, and has sought to render itself
+wholly worthy of the warm encomiums so ably pronounced
+by scholars, physicians, and scientists, conspicuous among
+whom stand the Rev. John F. Clymer and Prof. Austin Flint.</p>

+<p class="small">The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she is both
+a physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably the best
+work ever written on the healthful preparation of food, and should be in
+the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare food healthfully and
+palatably. The best way and the reason why are given. It is complete in
+every department. To show something of what is thought of this work, we
+copy a few brief extracts from the many</p>
+
+
+<p class="center">NOTICES OF THE PRESS.</p>
+
+
+<div class="small">
+<p>“This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome food, and
+gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that will make luxuries for the
+palate out of many simple productions of Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”—<i>Home
+Journal.</i></p>
+
+<p>“Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the equal in all respects,
+and superior to many of its predecessors. Simplicity is sought to be blended with
+science, economy with all the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an
+ample household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs. Dodds’ book,
+material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen administration.”—<i>N.&nbsp;Y. Star.</i></p>
+
+<p>“The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to those who will intelligently
+appreciate the author’s stand-point. And there are but few who will not concede
+that it would be a public benefit if our people generally would become better informed
+as to the better mode of living than the author intends.”—<i>Scientific American.</i></p>
+
+<p>“She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is eminently practical
+upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and
+cake; it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”—<i>The
+Daily Inter-Ocean</i>, Chicago, Ill.</p>
+
+<p>“The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every well-regulated cuisine.”—<i>Indianapolis
+Journal.</i></p>
+
+<p>“As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery, there is no other in
+print which is superior, and which brings the subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding
+of an average housekeeper.”—<i>Methodist Recorder.</i></p>
+
+<p>“In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically, and yet has
+made her instructions entirely practical. The book will certainly prove useful, and if
+its precepts could be universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably
+lengthened.”—<i>Springfield Union.</i></p>
+
+<p>“Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It seems to be a
+very sensible addition to the voluminous literature on this subject, which ordinarily has
+little reference to the hygienic character of the preparations which are described.”—<i>Zion’s
+Herald.</i></p>
+
+<p>“This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while yet based upon scientific
+principles—in short, the best. If it were in every household, there would be far less
+misery in the world.”—<i>South and West.</i></p>
+
+<p>“There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of occasion for attacking
+the ordinary methods of cooking, as well as the common style of diet.”—<i>Morning Star.</i></p>

+
+
+<p>The most important question with all interested and
+intelligent housekeepers should be “What can I prepare
+for my table that will be <span class="smcap">Healthful</span> and <span class="smcap">Palatable</span>?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt
+Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention
+is given to the health and strength giving qualities
+of the dishes described, and a large part of the directions
+are useless (for never followed) and in many cases
+harmful (if tried).</p>
+
+<p>What is needed is a practical work in which these
+conditions are carefully considered and one which is
+simple enough to be easily understood.</p>
+
+<p>A recent publication, <span class="smcap">Health in the Household</span>,
+by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a lady physician and a practical
+housekeeper, covers this ground very fully and can be
+recommended. It considers the value of the different
+food products, the best methods of preparation, and the
+reason why.</p>
+
+<p><small>The Chicago <i>Inter-Ocean</i> says: “She evidently knows what she is
+writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It
+is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;

+<div class="small">
+<p><span class="smcap">J. Russ</span>, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the colds
+question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the book—it is, in fact, invaluable,
+going to the very root of the question of sickness.”
+Mrs. <span class="smcap">W. O. Thompson</span>, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y., says: “I wish every
+friend I have could read it, and, only that hygienists never harbor ill-feeling, that
+my enemies might not chance to find it. I owe much to the truths made clear in
+‘Natural Cure,’ and it is certain that to it and the professional attendance of the
+author, my sister-in-law owes her life and present robust health.”</p>
+
+<p class="center">FROM A TEACHER.</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. <span class="smcap">S. S. Gage</span>, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y., says: “My
+friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to me. Thanks
+to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more; I am better in every
+way. I never could accomplish so much and with so little fatigue; and I am sure
+that all my intellectual work is of better quality than it ever was before.”</p>
+
+<p class="center">FROM A HUSBAND.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">D. Thompson</span>, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in ‘Natural
+Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent intervals for forty years,
+return no more. Formerly I could not work for three days at a time, now I work
+right along. For this, as well as for the restoration of my wife to health, after we
+had given her up as fatally sick, I have to thank Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”</p>
+
+<p class="center">FROM THE WIFE.</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. <span class="smcap">S. E. D. Thompson</span>, Lee, N. H. says: “I can not well express my gratitude
+for the benefit I have received from the book and its author’s personal counsel.
+Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly wonderful how the power of
+resting is increased under the influence of the regimen prescribed. I have distributed
+many copies of this book, and have known of a <i>life-long asthmatic cured,
+biliousness removed, perennial hay-fever banished</i> for good, and other wonderful
+changes wrought, by means of the regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A
+friend remarked: ‘It is full of encouragement for those who wish to live in clean
+bodies.’ Another said: ‘It has proved to me that I have been committing slow
+suicide.’ Our minister says: ‘I have modified my diet and feel like a new man.’”
+To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s first book, “<span class="smcap">How to Feed the
+Baby</span>”: “I have known of a number of babes changed from colicky, fretful children
+to happy well ones, making them a delight to their parents, by following its
+advice.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">William C. Langley</span>, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited from
+reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from inherited feebleness,
+or, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the need of making the most of their limited
+powers. I may add, that this work bears evidence that the author has had
+wide range, and extensive reading, together with a natural fitness for physiological
+and hygienic research, keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. Dr. <span class="smcap">Densmore</span>, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge of
+my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it of the publishers
+by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Popular Science Monthly</span> for September, 1883, speaks highly of the work,
+closing with, “the public has in this work a most valuable manual of hygiene.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Atlantic Monthly</span> for August, 1883, says: “It is an effort at impressing

+
+<p>We have recently published a volume
+containing a story of Human
+Nature which will be found of interest.
+It is called “The <span class="smcap">Man Wonderful</span>
+in the <span class="smcap">House Beautiful</span>,” and is an allegory, teaching the
+principles of Physiology and Hygiene,
+and the effects of Stimulants
+and Narcotics. The House is the
+Body, in which the Foundations are
+the Bones, the Walls are Muscles,
+the Skin and Hair the Siding and
+Shingles, the head an Observatory
+in which are found a pair of Telescopes,
+and radiating from it are the nerves which are compared
+to a Telegraph, while communications are kept up with the
+Kitchen, Dining-room, Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is
+heated with a Furnace. There are also Mysterious Chambers,
+and the whole is protected by a Burglar Alarm. In studying the
+inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we learn of his
+growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he introduces.
+He finds that some of them are friends, others are
+doubtful acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this
+form, we ascertain the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and
+Stimulants.</p>
+
+<p>It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children
+will lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the
+Laws of Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten.
+The book will prove of great interest even to adults and those
+familiar with the subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A.
+Allen, are both regular physicians, and therefore the work is accurate
+and on a scientific basis. “Science in Story” has never
+been presented in a more attractive form. It is universally admitted
+that a large proportion of sickness comes from violations
+of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it is important that
+this subject should be understood by all, as in this way we may
+become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease. The
+reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It
+will be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is
+only $1.50. Address</p>

+<p>The work is admirably simple, clear, and full, and no popular work that we ever

+
+<p>By H. S. Drayton, A.M., M.D., and James

+
+
+<p>The authors state in their preface: “In preparing
+this volume it has been the aim to
+meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise
+which not only gives the reader a complete
+view of the system of mental science known
+as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to

+<p class="center"><big>Notices of the Press</big>.</p>
+
+<p>Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed
+at. The scientific researches of the
+last twenty years have demonstrated
+the fearful and wonderful complication
+of matter, not only with mind, but with
+what we call moral qualities. Thereby,
+we believe, the divine origin of “our
+frame” has been newly illustrated, and
+the Scriptural psychology confirmed:
+and in the Phrenological Chart we are
+disposed to find a species of “urim and
+thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s
+will concerning us, at least His
+revelation of essential character. One
+thing is certain, that the discoveries
+of physical science must ere long force
+all men to the single alternative of Calvinism
+or Atheism. When they see
+that God has written himself sovereign,
+absolute, and predestinating, on the
+records of His creation, they will be
+ready to find His writing as clearly in
+the Word; and the analogical argument,
+meeting the difficulties and the
+objections on the side of Faith by those
+admitted as existing on the side of
+Sight, will avail as well in one case as
+in the other. We will only add, the
+above work is, without doubt, the best
+popular presentation of the science
+which has yet been made. It confines
+itself strictly to facts, and is not written
+in the interest of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its
+copious illustrations, pictorial and narrative,
+and the whole is brought down
+to the latest information on this curious
+and suggestive department of
+knowledge.—<i>Christian Intelligencer.</i></p>
+
+<p>As far as a comprehensive view of the
+teachings of Combe can be embodied
+into a system that the popular mind
+can understand, this book is as satisfactory
+an exposition of its kind as has
+yet been published. The definitions are
+clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—<i>Philadelphia
+Enquirer.</i></p>
+
+<p>In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds with
+valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the work constitutes
+by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and is adapted to both private
+and class study.</p>
+
+<p>The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most part
+from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and great pains
+have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance of the text in each
+case. For the student of human nature and character the work is of the highest
+value.</p>

+<p>If you want something to read that will interest you more thoroughly than
+any book you have ever read, send for a copy of <span class="smcap">Heads and Faces</span>, a new Manual
+of Character Reading for the people. It will show you how to read people as
+you would a book, and see if they are inclined to be good, upright, honest, true,
+kind, charitable, loving, joyous, happy and trustworthy people, such as you would
+like to know; or are they by nature untrustworthy, treacherous and cruel, uncharitable
+and hard-hearted, fault-finding, jealous, domineering people whom you
+would not want to have intimate with yourselves or your families.</p>
+
+<p>A knowledge of Human-Nature will enable you to judge of all this at sight,
+and to choose for yourselves and children such companions as will tend to make
+you and them better, purer, more noble and ambitious to do and to be right, and
+would save many disappointments in social and business relations. It will aid in
+choosing and governing servants, training children, and deciding whom to trust
+in all the affairs of life. If you would know people without waiting to become
+acquainted with them, read <span class="smcap">Head and Faces</span> and How to Study Them, a new

+
+MESSRS. FOWLER & WELLS:
+
+_Gentlemen_:—I have read with great interest a sermon by Rev. Mr.
+Clymer, of Auburn, on “The Relation of Food to Morals,” as it appeared
+in the Auburn _Daily Advertiser_ of June 20th, 1880. Certainly
+everything stands related to morals; and all men, women, and children
+should be made to see and feel this.
+
+I suppose I am considered an old-fashioned preacher. I believe in
+“original sin,” and I believe in a great deal of sin that is not
+original. I believe that every man is so corrupt that he can never be
+made pure without supernatural influence; and I believe that he must
+take advantage, at the same time, of all the natural helps. Even the
+grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot make the saint who is in the
+flesh, feel alert and happy, so long as he has any serious obstruction
+of the biliary duct. When I was a younger pastor in a Southern city, I
+was called by a mother to see her daughter, a girl of eighteen, who was
+in a dreadful way, inconsolably laboring under the oppressive feeling
+that there was no mercy for her. I prescribed for her torpid liver as
+my knowledge of the healing art enabled me to do, promising to call
+again soon. When I did call, the young lady was relieved, and I was
+able to secure her attention to the comfortable truths of our most
+holy faith. It is first the natural, and then the spiritual; St. Paul,
+1 Cor. xv. 46: “Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but
+that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.” We must
+always feel our dependence on the spirit of God for our regeneration
+and sanctification, but not in such a way as to make fools of us. The
+man whose faith in the supernatural makes him depreciate the natural,
+has no more sense than he whose faith in the natural utterly excludes
+super-nature.
+
+I think you would do a good work to issue Mr. Clymer’s discourse as one
+of a series of tracts proclaiming the gospel of hygiene. Will you not
+do it?
+
+  With kindest regards, yours truly,
+  CHARLES F. DEEMS.

+
+  REV. DR. DEEMS:
+
+_Dear Sir_: Yours of February 1 received, and contents noted. Thanks
+for your suggestion. Yes; we will do it. We will publish Mr. Clymer’s
+sermon in so cheap a pamphlet form that we can give it an almost
+universal circulation.
+
+We do this because we believe with you most fully in the gospel of
+hygiene.

+                         A SERMON PREACHED BY
+                          REV. J. F. CLYMER,
+
+      IN THE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, AUBURN, NEW YORK,
+                      ON SUNDAY, JUNE 20TH, 1880.
+
+ “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the
+ voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and that when they
+ have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, then shall his father
+ and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of
+ his city, and unto the gates of his place; and they shall say unto the
+ elders of his city: _This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will
+ not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard._”—DEUT. xxi. 18-20.
+
+
+We have had much teaching that has left the impression on our minds
+that the soul is the _only_ source and seat of all the vice in human
+life. Because it is written “The imaginations of the thoughts of the
+natural heart, are only evil continually,” total depravity has been
+fixed on the spirit nature of man; that is, all the bad or immoral
+elements entering into human life have been attributed to the innate
+or inborn ugliness of the soul. Accepting the Scriptural truth that
+“the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” we have come to think that sin
+has its _center_, _seat_, _source and circumference_ in the soul, or
+the immaterial nature of man. Hence we readily admit the fact that
+influences, good or bad, may pass over from the soul to the body, but
+we do not so readily admit that _other_ fact, equally true, that
+influence good or bad may go over from the _body_ to the soul. The road
+over which vicious thoughts and lustful imaginations pass from the soul
+to the body is the highway over which unbridled appetites, unrestrained
+passions and unsubdued lusts in the body may go to the soul, goading
+it to the wildest conceptions of vice and lecherous imaginations. The
+warm rays of the sun may gender rottenness in the muddy pool; so also
+will the effluvia from the pool poison the sunlight near it. The soul
+by its vicious thoughts and imaginations will entail an immoral tone on
+the body; so also will the body react on the soul, by its appetites,
+passions and propensities, increasing the viciousness of the soul by
+pushing it to courses of vice not directly and immediately its own. In
+our text is found an illustration of this thought. A father and mother
+bring their stubborn and rebellious son to the elders of the Jewish
+church. They assign, as the cause of his stubbornness and rebellion,
+gluttony and drunkenness, than which there are no vices that demoralize
+the body more, or goad the soul to greater crimes. Hear it:
+
+“This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice,
+he is a glutton and a drunkard.” That is, bad conditions of the physical
+nature, wrought by gluttony and drunkenness, have made him stubborn and
+rebellious. It will not help the case to say that his stubbornness and
+rebellion caused his gluttony and drunkenness, for if they did, then
+his soul must act on the body. His morals must influence his manners,
+and therefore his manners must reflect on his morals; they must
+interact, which is just the point we make; that his appetite and lust
+fire the temperament or disposition, and a fiery disposition provokes
+appetite and lust to wilder indulgences.
+
+A remarkable fact, in this day of advanced science and revelation, is
+that Christians and moralists in their work of reform have paid so
+little attention to the influence of the body on the soul. Jesus Christ
+more than any other teacher or reformer recognized the demoralizing
+and debasing influence of bad bodily conditions. Hence he almost
+always healed maladies of the body before he entered his principles
+upon the soul. It is true that his many miracles on the bodies of men
+were primarily intended to reveal his divinity; yet divinity in its
+manifestations always runs over the whole line of the natural before
+passing into the supernatural; therefore Christ’s miracles on the
+bodies of men had a sanitary side to them. The man with the leprosy was
+in the poorest condition bodily to hear favorably any talk about moral
+sweetness; hence Christ healed his diseased body, in connection with
+his moral teachings. His example with the blind and hungry and deaf in
+this respect ought not to go for nothing with those of us who seek to
+save men in our day. Philanthropists and Christians for the most part
+have overlooked the power of a debased body on the soul. They forget
+that Paul likens a body that has sinful habitudes to a thing of death,
+as compared with the soul that seeks to live the new life in Christ
+Jesus. Therefore good men have labored to create in themselves and
+those whom they seek to reform, certain emotional conditions of the
+spirit, by a tenacious adherence to creeds, or the patient performance
+of a set round of religious duties, and all this regardless of bad
+physical conditions begotten by bad habits of eating and drinking.
+While they have been struggling to bring their own souls and the souls
+of others into holy attitudes, all the basilar forces of the body have
+run riot within, and perhaps beyond, the pale of human customs and
+human laws. If you want to empty a boiler of steam, it will not help
+you much by lifting the safety valve if you still keep water in the
+boiler and fire in the furnace. Prayer, Bible reading and Psalm singing
+will not help a man much to get rid of his sins, if he keeps up a set
+of bodily habits which fire the body and inflame the soul to continue
+its sinning. That you may see the connection more clearly between
+vice and victuals, let me show you how food may damage our bodies and
+demoralize our souls.
+
+I am fully aware of the difficulties I encounter in entering this
+thought on your minds. Because religion has been considered as having
+little or nothing to do with the body, I shall encounter the settled
+opinions of good men to this effect. Because our popular methods of
+eating have the sanction of custom and the defense of long established
+habits, I may not criticise them without losing the favor of those who
+are content with things as they are. Because I shall call in question
+many indulgences of appetite hitherto considered sinless, I shall run
+the risk of being called a fanatic or fool. Because I shall preach the
+New Testament doctrine of self-denial many will say this is a hard
+saying—“who can bear it?” But with the hope that I may unfold to you a
+glorious realm of liberty from the bondage of bodily propensities, I
+cheerfully do my duty and leave the consequences for God to look after.
+
+Very few of us are aware of the great physical demoralization and
+spiritual wickedness, brought on us and our children, by bad habits of
+eating, as to the kind of food, the mode of its preparation, and the
+manner and times of taking it. We refuse to think of our indulgences
+of appetite as the cause of our physical ailments and premature death,
+and much less will we allow ourselves to believe that these indulgences
+have anything to do with forming our morals or shaping our characters
+or determining our eternal destiny.
+
+And yet I aver, without the fear of successful refutation, that
+three-fourths of all our bodily ailments or diseases, and many of our
+immoral acts, are the legitimate results of improper dietetic habits.
+If these habits do not effect us directly, they do so indirectly by
+lowering the tone of the whole system, physical and moral, causing us
+to break down prematurely into some disease or deviltry, under the
+pressure of legitimate toil or immoral provocation. How is it possible
+to account for the death of one half the human family before five years
+of age, unless we trace it to the violation of physical laws in some
+way connected with the eating habits alike of parent and child? Many
+children enter the world with such a low state of inherited physical
+vitality, and so little moral tone, that they are unable to resist
+the attacks of bodily disease or throw it off when on them, and much
+less able to throw off moral disease and rise above their immoral
+heritage if spared to pass through childhood to years of maturity. Such
+children not only carry in their little bodies the physical weaknesses
+of their parents, but also the specific immoral tendencies found in
+the conditions of their parentage. And more than this, should their
+endowment of vitality be sufficient to carry them over the death line
+for infants, they are subject to such unnatural relations to dress and
+diet that it becomes a natural impossibility for them to live. In this
+way many children die prematurely, not by the arbitrary edict of God,
+but by the violation of law. And if God should save their lives by
+special suspension of his laws, more damage would be done to the moral
+harmony of the universe than to let them die. I know it is a common
+custom to ascribe all sickness and death to the direct and arbitrary
+action of Divine Providence. That is, if one overeats, or eats
+innutritious food, or at improper times, making himself sickly, so that
+he becomes an easy prey to disease, and dies suddenly or at the noon
+tide of life, all the good people say—“What a strange Providence!” As
+if God had everything to do with such a death, and the deceased had
+little or nothing to do with it. I incline to the opinion that Divine
+Providence has little or nothing to do with such deaths only in so
+far as Divine Providence is in the laws of life violated. The primary
+cause of all premature deaths is violated law. God does not arbitrarily
+kill anybody. Most of those who die in infancy or in early life, come
+to death by the violation of God’s laws written in their bodies. If
+these laws were obeyed in us and in our ancestry, most of us ought to
+live beyond three score years and ten, and drop from this life into
+the other in a ripe, mellow old age, just as ripe fruit drops from its
+bough in autumn time. But you ask where is God in the many untimely
+deaths that occur? I answer He is present in his great hearted goodness
+to help the dying to an eternal victory over death, if they will only
+let Him. He is present to bind up the hearts that are breaking with
+sorrow for the departed, and to make a sudden, untimely, and needless
+death a monument of warning to those still living, thus making the
+wrath of man to praise Him. If therefore our children die in infancy,
+because we have entailed on them feeble bodies by our violation of law,
+God does not kill them, but they die through violated law, and he in
+His goodness takes the little ones to His bosom, the seat and source of
+all law. Let us not then charge our sorrows to the willful enactment
+of our Heavenly Father. He taketh no pleasure in the death of him that
+dieth. When he gives life to us, He intends that we shall keep it as
+long as possible.
+
+Having given us life, all the forces of His boundless nature are
+engaged to maintain it in us until He is ready to harvest us as the
+farmer does the ripened grain. The God of nature and the God of grace
+are not in antagonism. “The one God is in all and over all.” A kingdom
+divided against itself cannot stand. If, therefore, we die this side
+of three score years and ten—seventy years—we die untimely. It is high
+time that good men were awake to this fact, and ceased charging over
+to Divine Providence what legitimately belongs to ourselves. “Jesus
+Christ came to destroy him that hath the power of death, that is the
+devil;” and when the philosophy of Jesus is wrought up into human lives
+by obedience to physical laws, the power of disease and death over
+our bodies will be very much broken. The victory over death can be so
+far achieved by men in the body that they need not die until their
+minds and hearts have received all the development in this world that
+infinite love ordains. That is, men may so baffle the monster of death
+by obedience to law as to keep him at bay until their souls have taken
+on such Christly ripeness that they shall burst and break their bodies,
+as the ripening chestnuts break their burrs under the frosts of autumn.
+We have, therefore, no right to ascribe to supernatural agency any
+phenomena which can be explained on natural principles. Disobedience
+to law brings penalties. There is nothing that men need to see more in
+their efforts at reform than the connection between their sufferings
+and their disobedience. Now, disobedience to the laws of life brings
+the penalties, sickness and premature death. There is no field where
+our disobedience manifests itself more frequently and with so little
+thought of consequences, as in our false and unnatural habits of eating
+and drinking, which damage the body and demoralize the soul.
+
+“The Blood is the Life.” This is the declaration alike of revelation and
+of science. Evolutionary processes may induce a variation in the form
+or number of the blood corpuscles, but they can not set aside the law
+that the building and rebuilding of all the organs involved in bodily
+or mental acts comes from the blood alone. The physical, mental and
+moral natures are so intimately connected that that which affects one,
+affects the others. So that a man’s mental and moral nature, as well
+as his physical, can very largely be determined by the quality of his
+blood. Now it is a physiological fact that our blood is made out of
+the food we eat. That food which enters the mouth and is assimilated,
+makes blood. By the marvelous processes of digestion and assimilation
+our food is transformed into blood; and the blood passing through the
+veins and arteries repairs the waste tissues and forms new ones, thus
+building up our bodies and sustaining life. It follows then that our
+bodies are made of the food we eat. Evidently it was the design of
+our Creator that the prime object of eating should be the building up
+of tissue—muscles, bones and brains. That this may be a pleasure to
+us, He has associated with eating the delights of appetite. But most
+of us have so far perverted the divine order as to make the pleasures
+of appetite the chief object of eating. “Give us something _good_ to
+eat,” is the great cry of humanity, and the goodness of food is gauged
+by the sensations of the palate and not by the law of nutrition. Most
+of us determine the goodness of our food by the amount of sensual
+delight it imparts to the palate, no matter how much damage it may
+do beyond to the delicate and intricate structure of the stomach and
+viscera. Hence a vast amount of food enters the mouth that makes bad
+blood, blood that in itself is corrupt, and carries poisonous particles
+to every organ in the system, putting us in splendid condition to be
+easily provoked to some outburst of anger, passion or revenge. My
+hearers, there is a sure and vital connection between bad blood and
+bad morals. Blood always tells in morals as well as in muscles. Blood
+has power throughout the whole realm of life, whether it be in a human
+body, in society, or in the body of a horse on the racecourse.
+
+You ask, what kind of food makes bad blood? I answer, very much of the
+flesh of animals, that forms the staple diet of most of us. Sty-fed
+pigs and stall-fed oxen are fattened under the most unlawful and
+unhealthful conditions possible; shut up in the dark, cut off from
+exercise, the fat deposited on their bodies is made up of the waste
+matter that the life-forces of the animal have been unable to expel.
+This waste fatty matter, surcharged with unexpelled excretions, is
+liable to induce disease in all who consume it. It has established
+tuberculosis in captive lions, and in cats and dogs, and in other
+carnivora; and it were folly to assume that mankind, feeding upon
+such poisonous food, should wholly escape. Even in the living animal
+this effete unexpelled poisonous waste breeds vermin, such as have
+been found in pork, which cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking or
+by the process of digestion, and hence live and generate in the human
+body, producing disease and death. I am not now making a plea for the
+absolute disuse of animal food, but against the bad quality of very
+much of it, and also against the inordinate use of that which may be
+good in quality. A certain amount of animal food is useful for our
+nourishment, especially in winter time, because of its heat producing
+qualities. But meat every day, and at every meal, is in no way
+necessary for the proper sustenance of the human system.
+
+The use of large quantities of animal food, however free from
+disease-germs, as a _staple_ article of diet makes the blood gross,
+coarse and corrupt, filling the body with scrofulous elements, sending
+poison to every part of the system, causing it to break out in running
+sores, salt-rheum, tetter and the like, producing an inordinate
+appetite, throwing every organ of the body into frictional relations
+to every other organ. It is a matter of every-day surprise to me
+that any human being will consent to eat the flesh of pigs. Consider
+their uncleanness, their selfish, greedy habits, the vast amount of
+corruption that enters into their bodies, their want of exercise,
+their impure breathing, their lack of sudorific glands or emunctories,
+through which effete tissues and morbid accumulations may be expelled;
+and think, when you eat pork, of the train of horrid elements which
+enter into your body. And your body thus debased by a low order of
+animal flesh, the effect must be to make you take on the disposition
+and tendencies of the hog. God’s bill of fare in the eleventh chapter
+of Leviticus excluded from the tables of the Jews the hog and all water
+animals except those that had fins and scales. This bill of fare was
+given to the Jews not only for the preservation of their health, but,
+as God’s great purpose was moral reform, He had an eye single to their
+moral condition in the matter of their eating. Does any one doubt that
+the unhealthy, ugly, and vicious elements that make up the flesh of
+most of the animals we eat, enter our blood, and in that way affect the
+disposition or carriage of the soul? I am confident, if there was less
+demand for animal food the quality would be very much better. Animals
+would not be subject to false and unhealthy generation, and false and
+hasty methods of growth. They would come up more in keeping with the
+laws of their nature, and come to us with more healthy and better
+qualities. As for the hog, if man would not domesticate him, he could
+not propagate his species. He would become extinct just like the lion,
+leopard, and hyena, under the march of civilization. As the blessings
+of civilized life reach us, you notice the carnivorous or flesh-eating
+animals become extinct. So it seems to me that with the developments of
+civilization there ought to be such moral refinements in human beings
+that they would grow away from their carnivorous tendencies, and eat
+such food as tends to develop the mental and moral faculties, and not
+the animal propensities. Among animals you find that those that live on
+the flesh of other animals are the most vicious and destructive, such
+as the lion, leopard, and hyena. Those animals that live on the grains
+and the higher order of foods are the best, most beautiful, and most
+useful, such as the horse and cow. If this law obtains among animals,
+why not among men? Beyond a doubt it does. If you want proof of this,
+study the character and lives of those who live largely on animal food,
+and you will find them very animal-like in all their relations—restive,
+impatient, passionate, ugly in their ways, fiery in their disposition,
+easily provoked, readily put out of humor. And if you could look into
+their private lives you would find all their baser qualities having the
+fullest sway, stopping, it may be, inside the fence of human laws and
+customs, but seldom considering the claims of a higher and divine law.
+I charge, then, very much of our household misery, domestic woe, and
+connubial wretchedness, to unrestrained lust begotten in the body by
+the inordinate use of animal food.
+
+We forget, my hearers, that the great law of nature, “Like produces
+like,” is universal. “Every seed after its kind is the law of all
+creation.” There is no exception to this law. This principle obtains
+not only in the production of life, but in the processes of its
+development. If my position about the intimacy of soul and body is
+true, then, if a man’s body is made up chiefly of flesh taken from
+diseased animals, and his whole physical frame is saturated with the
+irritating and exciting condiments of what is popularly called good
+food, the whole bias of his bodily powers will be toward animalism.
+All the impressions and impulses that the soul receives from such a
+body are beastly and debasing. Like produces like in the formation of
+physical tissue out of food, as well as in the generation of stock in
+the stall. Hence I hold that very much of the wickedness of mankind
+is the natural expression of physical beastliness rather than the
+outflow of innate viciousness. A body made up largely of all manner of
+nerve-goading, passion-producing, anger-generating elements, such as
+are found in the gross animal dishes with their stimulating adjuncts,
+just as surely drives the soul to sin as a tempest drives a feather
+before it.
+
+As modern research has proved that bad or imperfect food when
+digested surely makes bad or imperfect blood, incapable of performing
+its appointed work of upbuilding and of reparation, so has science
+demonstrated that perfect food is one of the most potent among
+remedies for the relief of many diseased conditions. Since the blood
+is the life, and since blood is merely food emulsified, mingled with
+certain digestive fluids and colored by the oxygen with which it is
+brought in contact in the lungs—it is easy to understand how perfect
+food may create perfect blood, which shall presently supplant that
+which is feeble, that which is lacking in waste-repairing power, that
+which fails to give strength to the muscles or vigor to the brain,
+and may thus become the most effective medicine. A perusal of recent
+professional medical literature evinces the great stress which is now
+laid upon dietetics in the treatment of all diseases. The approach to
+this high altitude has been gradual, but sure. At first foods were made
+the vehicles for drugs; and cod-liver oil and malt-extracts, which are
+only concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon varieties, were loaded with
+lime and iron and strychnine and phosphorous and scores of other drugs.
+But perfect results were secured by the use of these foods without
+the drug additions, and so the foods were at last given the credit
+which all along belonged to them. And so it has come to pass that with
+advanced medical men, in a vast majority of cases of sickness, the
+support of the life-powers by proper nutrients is the foremost thought,
+the best food proving to be the best medicine.
+
+The kind of food a man eats, and the time and manner of his eating it,
+are not merely a question of medicine, but one of the first questions
+of morals. The effects of food on the passions and feelings are thus
+described by Prior:
+
+    “Observe the various operations
+    Of food and drink in several nations;
+    Was ever Tartar fierce and cruel
+    Upon the strength of water gruel?
+    But who shall stand his rage and force
+    When first he rides, then eats, his horse?
+    Salads and eggs and lighter fare,
+    Tune the Italian spark’s guitar;
+    And if I take Don Confrere right,
+    Pudding and beef make Britons fight.”
+
+
+If, therefore, our meat has something to do with our morals, or if our
+food in some way affects our faith, it seems to me that many of our
+efforts at moral reform ought to be preceded by instruction in hygiene.
+In other words, efforts to make a man genuinely devotional ought to be
+prefaced by efforts to correct bad dietetic habits. A father, by prayer
+and precept and flogging, had done his best to reform his boy, whose
+staple diet was meat and sausage and pie and cake at his meals, with
+lunch between. The family physician said to the father, “If you will
+put a leech back of each of your boy’s ears once a week for a month,
+you will do more to reform him than your preaching and pounding will do
+in a year.” The father asked for the philosophy of this prescription.
+“Why,” said the doctor, “your boy has bad blood, and too much of it;
+he must behave badly or he would burst.” “Then,” said the father,
+“I’ll change his diet from beef and pie to hominy and milk.” In three
+months thereafter a better boy for his age could not be found in the
+neighborhood. The acrid, biting, evil blood had not become food for
+leeches, but it had done its wicked work and passed away, and a cooler,
+blander, purer, safer blood had been supplied from sweeter, gentler
+food sources.
+
+In your use of animal food be very particular as to quality and
+quantity. Lamb and mutton are considered the most healthy by the
+authorities. Avoid as you would contagion the use of pork, unless you
+raise it yourselves, and feed it with good grain, and not the refuse
+of the house or barn, and keep the animals as clean as you do your pet
+dogs. Never fry your meat with hogs’ lard, but stew, bake, boil, or
+broil it. Use hogs’ lard in no form for cooking. Most of it is said to
+be reeking with scrofulous elements. Displace it in _all_ your cooking
+by milk or butter. If you want to aid and not hinder the growth of your
+soul Godward, if you desire to have pure thoughts and a pure heart and
+a pure life, see that you make your blood out of pure food, or you
+will find that your soul will have an enemy within the castle of its
+body more treacherous and deadly than any of its enemies without.
+
+There is another popular article of food among us, which has a vital
+connection with bodily disorders and bad exhibition of character. Good
+in proper quantities and in its sphere, when made the largest and chief
+article of diet, for every meal, the one kind of food upon which we
+depend most for building up the wastes of our bodies, it indirectly
+does great damage. I refer to the ordinary fine flour bread made out of
+bolted wheat meal.
+
+It is proper to remember that the white flour from which our bread
+is chiefly made, and which is deemed the staff of life, is a purely
+artificial product—a selection from that perfect food combination
+which exists in wheat. A competent food chemist has compared the
+regular milling processes to one by which the fat part of an ox should
+be saved for food, and the lean part—the albuminous or nitrogenous
+portion—discarded and given to the dogs. The comparison is well based,
+since the starch of wheat, which is valued because of its whiteness,
+is a carbo-hydrate, chemically allied to the fat of meat; while the
+dark nutriment of wheat, which, because of its color, is discarded with
+the bran with which it is found in contact in nature, is a vegetable
+nitrogenous albumen, rich in mineral elements, and almost identical,
+chemically, with the lean or muscular tissue of beef.
+
+The process of bolting or refining takes from the wheat most of the
+phosphates and nitrates, the elements that are chiefly required for
+making nerves, muscles, bones, and brains. The phosphates and nitrates
+being removed by bolting, very little remains in the flour except
+the starchy carbonates, the heat and fat producing elements. The use
+of fine flour bread as a staple article of food introduces too much
+heat and fat-producing elements into the system, and where there is
+too much carbon or heating substance, it tends rather to provoke the
+system to unnatural and abnormal action, and instead of serving as an
+element to warm the body, its tendency is to burn or consume, heating
+and irritating all the organs, getting one into that state which is
+popularly known as “hot-blooded.” The fine white flour ordinarily
+used has two-thirds of the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment that God
+put in the wheat taken out. Unless these deficiencies are made up by
+some other foods, the exclusive use of fine flour bread will leave
+the nerves and bones poorly nourished, producing in some systems
+nervousness, dyspepsia, and all the physical ills that follow these
+diseases, together with impatience, fretfulness, and irritability. God
+intended that all the nutritive properties He put in the wheat should
+stay in it for purposes of symmetrical nourishment. Fine flour bread
+may be used for purposes of producing heat in the system, but it does
+not feed hungry nerves or starving bones.
+
+One reason why children fed chiefly on white bread feel hungry nearly
+all the time, and demand so much food between meals, is found in the
+fact that their bodies are insufficiently nourished. Their bones
+and nerves not receiving the nitrates and phosphates they need, are
+suffering from hunger.
+
+When children are fed with food that thoroughly nourishes their whole
+system, they will seldom desire to eat between meals and thus retard
+the process of digestion and lay the foundation for dyspepsia and all
+its kindred evils.
+
+Flour made of all the nutriment of pure white wheat, unbolted, yet
+without the shell or husk or bran, contains all the elements necessary
+for the nourishment of the body. The flour called Graham flour rarely
+contains these elements. There is a great deal of bogus stuff in the
+market, which has brought the genuine article into disrepute, and made
+many thoughtful people disgusted with everything in that line. Very
+much that is called Graham flour is made up of a mixture of fine bolted
+flour, and the woody fibre of the wheat, which has no nutriment in it
+at all. This wretched fabrication has tended to make all whole wheat
+products unpopular. The woody bran is worse than worthless as food,
+or to mix with food. You might as well eat the shells of nuts, or the
+husks of corn, or the skins of potatoes, as the silex coats of wheat.
+To overload the alimentary canal with such foreign indigestible matter
+has no other tendency but to weaken and debilitate it. Very few millers
+trouble themselves to make a perfect whole wheat flour. I know but one
+establishment in the world where wheat and other grains are treated
+precisely as they should be, with all the harmful part removed and the
+rest made digestible by harmless methods, and that is the Health Food
+Company of New York.[1]
+
+[1] See Appendix, page 30.
+
+Bread leavened, or unleavened, made out of what is called the Cold
+Blast Whole Wheat Flour, makes more muscle and furnishes more food for
+the nerves than any other article of food given to man except the pure
+gluten of wheat. I am not now advocating the views of the extremists,
+the Grahamites, neither do I counsel the disuse of fine flour bread.
+This latter should be used in connection with unbolted flour, but
+should not be relied on to furnish you with all the nutritious elements
+that your bodies need. There is a golden mean between the extremes
+of vegetarianism and exclusive flesh diet which the common sense of
+thoughtful people will find. During the warm season a diet made up
+chiefly of fruits, grains, and vegetables will be most healthful
+for body and soul. Instead of the scrofula-breeding pork or ham for
+breakfast, use some one of the great variety of grains, especially
+oat-meal, than which there are few better foods for growing children
+and hard working adults. Instead of fried cakes, rich pastry, and
+candies, use fruit, of which there is an abundant variety, ten-fold
+more nourishing than pies or cakes, and very cleansing to the blood.
+Let brown bread, Johnnie-cake, and corn-meal pudding supplant fine
+wheat bread as much as possible. Eat your meals regularly and slowly,
+eating nothing between them. Eat sparingly of meat at mid-day, and let
+it be good fresh beef, mutton, or fish, well cooked. Let the evening
+meal be taken not later than six o’clock. Discard tea and coffee, and
+make your own coffee with browned crusts of bread, or burned whole
+wheat.[2] Follow these suggestions and you will find very many of the
+ills of your body departing and very many of the troubles you have in
+behaving yourselves, vanishing.
+
+[2] The Health Food Company prepare a “Cereal Coffee” from Wheat Gluten
+and Barley, which not only makes a delicious beverage, but tends
+to greatly strengthen both body and brain. Those who would release
+themselves from the dangerous practice of tea-drinking, and the less
+injurious but still objectionable use of the commercial coffees, will
+do well to try this nutrient beverage.
+
+Again, we derange our bodies and demoralize our souls by eating too
+much. The great end of life with many of us is to eat. The American
+dining-room has become, for the most part, a place for the indulgence
+of animalism, and not for the development of the affections or social
+qualities. A distinguished American physician said: “I am sixty-six
+years old, and I have eaten enough food to answer my wants for 100
+years, and yet I am what most people call a small eater.” The popular
+habit of using, inordinately, appetizers in the shape of the ordinary
+table condiments, begets a false and unnatural appetite. The time comes
+when honest food palls upon the depraved senses. The pampered, jaded
+appetite no longer finds satisfaction in simple food-flavors; the
+palate must be prompted with pungent things. The cook, who is never a
+physiologist, responds to the demand for spurs to appetite, and finds
+them in mixtures of spices and peppers and mustards and acids and
+essential oils and chemicals, and multitudes of non-food substances.
+With these, and various biting alcohols, the delicate lining of the
+stomach is inflamed, inducing a desire for food which passes for what
+it is not, namely, honest appetite. The palate demands more food than
+the stomach can digest or the system assimilate. Poor nature, anxious
+to do the best she can, adapts herself to the unnatural situation,
+and forces all the other organs to do the same; and thus we become
+accustomed to over-eating and do not know it.
+
+That all who accustom themselves to a stimulating diet, to spices and
+wines and other irritating things, consume too much food, cannot, I
+think, be gainsayed. The amount and kind of food needed depends upon
+the individual habits and the kind of waste to be supplied. A wholly
+idle man should thrive well on cucumbers and water-melons, which are
+chiefly water; while the hard-working hod-carrier would demand several
+pounds of solid carbon and nitrogen daily. It is the sedentary, the
+well-to-do, the man of leisure, who suffers most from over-eating; and
+it behooves him to carefully avoid all goads and spurs to appetite.
+With the simplest flavors he is nearly certain to over-eat and thus to
+suffer. With an appetite stimulated and induced, without corresponding
+out-door labor to create a genuine need and demand for it, digestive
+failure and assimilative bankruptcy is only a question of time.
+
+The stomach, overloaded, performs its work imperfectly, and thus
+imposes on all the organs an extra amount of work, which breaks them
+down prematurely, causing diseases of every kind, such as nervous
+headache, sick headache, rush of blood to the head, apoplexy, sore
+eyes, deafness, erysipelas, neuralgia of the face, decayed teeth,
+catarrh, bronchitis, asthma, nausea, common colic, congestion of the
+liver, and a host of other diseases too unpleasant to mention. In some
+cases there is a disposition of too much fatty matter in the system;
+and many people suppose that fatness is a sign of healthfulness, which
+is false. No one needs any more fat on his body than is essential to
+form cushions for his tendons and muscles; if too much, there is a
+depletion of strength.
+
+The crowded and overloaded condition of the system makes the body take
+on very many false manifestations. The irritation produced in an
+overcharged system manifests itself in different forms in different
+individuals. In some it produces nervousness, making them rack the
+flesh off their bones and keeping them poor; and in others it produces
+sluggishness, retaining defunct matter in the system, making them
+corpulent. As I have said, our highly-seasoned foods create morbid and
+abnormal appetites.
+
+As a consequence we eat too much and too often, the system being borne
+down by overwork in its digestive department, there comes a demand for
+stimulating drinks and medicines to take off the depression and to keep
+up tone; and to make ourselves feel good, after having made ourselves
+feel bad, by improper eating, some of us resort to tea and coffee, and
+others to alcohol, and then the excitement produced demands a sedative,
+and some of us smoke and others chew a poisonous weed called tobacco.
+Thus the poor body, subject to these revulsions of unnatural action in
+overwork and stimulation and sedation, is goaded to abnormities and
+unnatural action, sending up to the soul no other influences but those
+which drive it to moral madness and vicious deeds.
+
+Now, vice is a morbid exhibition of the will. The will is represented
+through the physical organ, the brain, and the brain is straightway
+affected by the condition of the body and the state of the blood. The
+will is that power of the mind by which we put forth volitions and
+perform actions. If the pressure of bad blood is on the brain, that
+same pressure is on the will; hence a sick man or a diseased man will
+do a great many bad things through the power of bad blood on the will.
+Vice, then, is both the result and cause of physical derangement.
+Hence that vice of vices, drunkenness.
+
+Drunkenness may be caused by bad physical conditions, brought about
+by bad habits of eating. Would it not be well for us to look into
+bad table habits for one of the reasons why so many of our young men
+become drunkards? May there not be some cause working in the flesh
+of our youths, driving them to intemperance? May it not be possible
+that kind fathers and mothers for years have been filling up the awful
+gap of 40,000 dead drunkards annually by feeding their children upon
+stimulating, highly-seasoned, innutritious foods? There is no doubt
+in my mind that every man is a glutton before he is a drunkard. If
+nature’s laws are violated, a man’s sensations will be all abnormal,
+and the mainsprings of his life will be befouled, and the result
+will be irregular and vicious expressions of all the appetites, both
+for food and drink. I am, therefore, confident that the widespread
+appetite for intoxicating liquors is largely due to the false relations
+that the American people hold to their food. We cannot hope much
+from moral suasion and legal enactments so long as we overlook the
+physical condition of the drunkard. If you would cure disease or vice
+effectually, you must shut off that which nourishes them, instead of
+putting all your force in efforts to antidote them. “Let the wicked
+forsake his way,” and then turn unto the Lord, and he will have mercy
+on him, and to our God, and he will abundantly pardon him. There are
+200,000 drunkards in the United States, 40,000 of whom go annually to
+premature graves. There are 20,000 prostitutes, whose average life
+in their profession is four years. Do you believe this vast army of
+immortals go willingly to ruin? There are causes lying back of mere
+perversities of soul in the common every-day dietetic habits of these
+forlorn ones.
+
+Eating and drinking are always associated with the bar and brothel,
+and if you will take notice, the eating is always of that kind of
+food which goes straight for the animal nature, and wakes up in a man
+everything that is beastly.
+
+The whole tendency of the food furnished at the popular bar-room
+restaurant is to stir the baser elements in humanity and keep up the
+demand for alcoholic stimulants. No wonder the drinking saloons can
+afford to give what they call a “free lunch.” Care is taken to furnish
+such food as fires the appetite for strong drink, and the rum-seller
+gets his pay for his “free lunch” through the sale of the whisky that
+must inevitably follow it. Those who, living on highly stimulating
+foods, but do not drink strong drinks, will find that the bias of their
+bodily powers, instead of being toward mental and spiritual spheres,
+will be toward animal indulgences, dragging the mind and soul into
+servitude to the flesh, and where there are any moral aspirations,
+making the conflict between the higher and lower nature so intense that
+a vast amount of moral force is wasted in self-conflict that ought to
+go into the world’s redemptive agencies for saving the lost.
+
+I am confident that the American habit of eating sumptuous and late
+suppers, whether at our homes or church fairs or festivals, is damaging
+the physical, mental, and moral health of our nation more than any
+other one thing of its kind; more damaging, because it has the
+appearance of innocency, and the sanction of our fathers and mothers
+and some of our pastors.
+
+Furthermore, the habit of eating hurriedly, or hastily, is preying
+upon the vital and moral forces of many of us. A meal eaten hastily or
+nervously, under the pressure of intense mental activity or nervous
+tension, or great weariness, begins its work of nutrition under the
+greatest possible disadvantage. All our meals should be eaten calmly
+and deliberately, so as to thoroughly masticate the food, and not
+impose on the stomach and viscera the legitimate work of the teeth.
+In the interest of health to soul as well as body I enter an earnest
+plea for more time for eating, and especially at noon, when most hard
+working people take their principal meal. Clerks, business men, and
+school teachers, mechanics, laborers, and our children who attend the
+public schools, need more time at noon to properly dispose of the chief
+meal of the day. No better investment could be made to secure the best
+possible physical, intellectual, financial, and moral returns than for
+all classes of people to take two hours at mid-day for resting and
+eating dinner. Selfish greed demands otherwise, and makes a show of
+gain; but the loss is sure to come in due time to all parties concerned.
+
+My friends, when will we fast-living, fast-eating, fast-working, and
+fast-dying Americans learn the great lesson, that life is a unit,
+that the Divine Trinity in us, namely, the physical, intellectual,
+and spiritual, is one life, with different phases of expression; and
+whatever mars one mars the whole, and whatever builds up one most
+surely builds up the others? All our powers are many members in one
+body, with an inter-dependence which is eternal. Slight your body,
+and you smite your soul and enervate the mind. Corrupt the mind, and
+you debase both body and soul. When will those who profess to be God’s
+children by the adoption of the Holy Ghost, catch the Spirit of His
+great Apostle Paul, who, more than any other sacred writer, maintained
+the sanctity of the human body and its subservience to the mind and
+soul. Hear him: “I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God that
+ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
+which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world,
+but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that ye may prove
+what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” I admit the
+power of the Holy Ghost in the work of regeneration, but is there not
+something for us to do, in keeping our bodies under, “lest we become
+cast-aways?” I do not say that _all_ human evils and ills have their
+primary origin in physical habits, but I do say that the great mass
+of impulsions from the excited, inflamed, over-stimulated body toward
+the soul, are in the interests of sin. The economy of salvation orders
+otherwise. By the Gospel the body may become the temple of the Holy
+Ghost. By the law of self-denial of the New Testament, our bodies, with
+all their fiery elements, may be made an inspiration to our souls.
+It is not the purpose of God that a life-time warfare shall be kept
+up between the body and the soul. There ought to come to every true
+Christian a day of final victory over his bodily powers, in which they
+will cease their rebellion, and come into the sweetest union with the
+soul in its great work of developing a likeness to Christ.
+
+Why are we called upon to present the body a living sacrifice to God,
+if its powers are not to be sanctified to holy purposes? Why should we
+spend all our life waiting for the adoption of our whole nature, to
+wit, the redemption of the body, as well as the soul.
+
+Our fondest dreams for the progress of humanity must be based in a
+newly created body by strict obedience to the laws of God, written on
+every fibre, tissue, muscle, and bone. We cannot develop the human
+brain and heart to the possibilities that God has put in them, while
+they are the tenants of bodies the laws of which are violated in the
+commonest habits of every-day life.
+
+Regeneration does a mighty work for us; but generation has also much
+to do with our highest and best development. The sins of the fathers
+must cease, so that the sons may be spared their terrible visitations;
+the accumulated virtues of parents must roll over on their children in
+purer, stronger, and better bodies until by a blessed economy the whole
+race shall be exalted to heirship with Christ through loving obedience
+to all the laws of physical as well as moral life.
+
+Why may we not now, under the laws of redemption, begin to build a new
+heaven and a new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our souls are
+redeemed and renewed by obedience and faith, why not secure also the
+redemption of our bodies? I know it is slow work to teach the subtle
+but mighty elements of self-restraint. I know the flesh lusteth against
+the spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the victory through our Lord
+Jesus Christ.

+
+
+In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler & Wells for the
+manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall far short of
+my duty if I did not allude more particularly than seemed appropriate
+in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work which is being done by the
+Health Food Company, and to the great excellence of its products. If
+these remarks were addressed to physicians, the simple mention of the
+name of the company would suffice, because there are probably very
+few medical men and women who are not aware of the good work of this
+organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for invalids of
+every type, as well as for such as are in health and are solicitous
+thus to continue. The work of the company has, from the beginning,
+been under the wise direction of a scientific head, himself an
+original investigator, and having an ample acquaintance with all the
+truths which have been evolved by modern scientific research. While
+it is very important that physicians should know all that is to be
+known concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large
+opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world may not
+go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the vast body of
+intelligent readers and church-goers should be made aware of the fact
+that in the matter of food and its preparation there are laws which
+are not comprehended by ignorant cooks, which may not be violated with
+impunity, the scope and importance of which are being more perfectly
+understood from year to year, and which, in their practical application
+by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand work in
+the up-building and re-building of human bodies and brains. Especially
+am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many of whom, I am
+persuaded, suffer from unsupplied waste of brain and nerve power—should
+more fully appreciate the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues
+of the body may be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may
+nearly or quite fail to supply or replenish the waste of the delicate
+brain and nervous system; and should understand how the best foods for
+the active brain-worker can be procured.
+
+A dyspeptic myself, a member of a dyspeptic family, and observing
+much of that kind of misery and weakness which arises from digestive
+feebleness, I have been compelled to study the subject of food in its
+relation to bodily and mental and moral well-being, during many years;
+and it is not less a pleasure than a duty to say that an intimate
+acquaintance with the researches of the Health Food Co. and its
+products, has convinced me that this organization is the center and
+source of the best information obtainable in any land, on the subject
+of dietetics; that the food which it prepares from many substances,
+especially from the cereal grains, are the best in the world; and that
+all who seek to live wisely and well, all who are strong and would
+continue so, all who are feeble and would fain be strong, all in whom
+the spirit to lead noble and useful lives is willing, but in whom the
+flesh, alas! is weak—owe it to themselves and to all whom they have
+power to influence, to learn all that can be learned concerning the
+great work of this company. In this brief Appendix it is not possible
+to allude, even remotely, to all its investigations in the domain of
+dietetics, nor to fully indicate the valuable results which it has
+achieved. I shall be justified, however, in referring to a few of its
+more prominent applications of scientific thought to the daily needs of
+humanity.
+
+It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by whatever “new
+process,” or under whatever brand, was a robbed, impoverished food,
+and that attached to the bran or husk—which is excluded as it should
+be—there is a layer of nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows
+and horses. It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should
+be deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this
+wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which there is
+no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised a method of
+removing all the woody, branny, siliceous coats from the grain without
+wasting one atom of the nutriment. Seeing that ordinary mill-stone
+grinding tended to heat and impair the flour, it devised other and
+better methods of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole
+wheat flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called
+“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with nothing
+taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious addition of
+grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the woody fibre and silex
+which form the protecting, innutritious shell. Thus the theories of
+the value of bread from the entire wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John
+C. Warren, of Boston, in 1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester
+Graham, were taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained
+in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth really
+existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved by exact
+experiments and by scientific methods, has at length been made of
+real value to the human race instead of continuing to be a source
+of possible, and often of positive injury, by virtue of the errors
+originally attending it. The perfect, branless flour of the entire
+grain is called the COLD BLAST WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, and is, beyond
+question, the most perfect bread-food in the world.
+
+Again, chemistry long ago proved that the nitrogenous, albuminous
+element of the great food staples (the cereal grains) known as GLUTEN,
+was the chief source of muscular tissue in animals, whether obtained
+from grasses, seeds, or other vegetable substances; that it could be
+digested in a mixture of 1 part gastric juice and 10 parts water; that
+it could be separated from its universal attendant, starch, by washing;
+and that a kind of tasteless, insipid bread could then be made from
+it, which was understood to be useful in a disease called diabetes.
+Up to a few years ago these facts comprised pretty much all that the
+scientific world knew about GLUTEN. It was known to exist; Koopman,
+the German chemist, had shown it to be readily digestible; and it was
+non-convertible into sugar, and therefore a safe food for those to whom
+starch, or the sugar which results from digested starch, is little
+less than poison. These slender facts were not sufficient to satisfy
+the accurate investigator at the head of the Health Food Co. He deemed
+it probable that this easily digested GLUTEN, this source of all the
+tissues of the ox except the fatty ones, would be found to be of vast
+value as a separate food for human beings, if while being practically
+isolated from the starch and bran associates which nature provides,
+it could still retain the pleasant grainy flavor of the cereal which
+supplies it. He began a series of investigations to determine the
+source of the agreeable flavor existing in sound wheat, and—as modified
+by milling and cooking—in commercial wheat flour and the foods prepared
+therefrom. The results of the researches of Prof. Henry B. Hill,
+of Harvard University, and of those contemporaneously conducted by
+Adolph Baeyer, of Munich, led him to conclude that to the oil known as
+“furfurol,” existing in the exterior bran and interior cellulose of the
+grain, the flour and bread chiefly owed their desirable flavors. The
+cellulose of the interior of the wheat was found to contain enough of
+the flavoring oil to impart to the insipid gluten an agreeable taste.
+Accordingly, methods were devised for separating the gluten and the
+cellulose from most of the starch, these three elements alone remaining
+after the bran coats were peeled off.
+
+This “whole wheat gluten,” as it is termed by the company, has proved
+a most valuable food, not only for the diabetic, to whom it seems to
+present the chief hope of recovery, but to the dyspeptic and feeble,
+whether in brain or body. Its use has been attended with such signally
+successful results as to attract the attention of large numbers of
+prominent medical men, among whom I may mention Prof. Austin Flint, of
+Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York city, who passes upon it a
+warm encomium in his last great volume. [See Flint’s Clinical Medicine,
+pp. 452-53.]
+
+If I did not feel quite certain that the vast majority of those who
+shall peruse this paragraph would seek from the Health Food Company, or
+from some of its many agents in various parts of the country, the very
+able and interesting pamphlets which it mails free to all applicants,
+I should deem it my duty to allude to other and not less valuable
+applications of scientific thought to the vast problems involved in
+the preparation of foods for humanity, from infancy to old age. To
+adequately describe them all, would require a volume; let me content
+myself with an allusion to one or two of the many.
+
+There is a digestive element existing in the saliva and in the fluid
+called the “pancreatic juice,” which bears the name of “diastase.” This
+diastase exists nowhere outside of the animal economy, except in seeds
+during the process of germination, or sprouting. When the seed, or
+cereal, or vegetable, is exposed to proper influences of moisture and
+warmth, such, for example, as are supplied by the earth in spring-time,
+the process of germination begins, and from the germ diastase is
+liberated. The function of the diastase thus set free is the conversion
+of the food elements in the seed into assimilative nutriment for the
+young and tender plant. It is the digestant of food, whether the
+thing fed be plant or animal. Now, while physiologists have long been
+ready to concede that when, as is common in diseased conditions, this
+important digestant is absent from the saliva and pancreatic juice,
+the conversion of all starchy foods is suspended, it has not been
+supposed that diastase has any marked influence upon the emulsification
+and digestion of food-substances not containing starch, nor had any
+food-chemist availed himself of the diastase in cereals, if I except
+the development and possible subsequent retention, to some extent, of
+diastase in some of the preparations of malt. The Health Food Company
+develops and employs the cereal diastase in a most effective way. It
+removes the germinal molecules from wheat and barley, reduces them to
+powder, forms the powder into a dough, encloses it in a steam-tight
+vessel and subjects the vessel and contents for a protracted period to
+a temperature of 150ºF. The latent diastase is thus brought into being,
+while the low temperature and the close vessel completely prevent its
+volatilization and loss. The diastatic dough is subsequently dried and
+powdered, and is then packed and labeled, ready for use, demanding no
+cooking, and no other preparation than simple moistening with milk
+or water. Used with milk it is found to prevent that tough and curdy
+coagulation which renders milk so oppressive, “bilious” and indigestible
+in many cases. The name given to this diastatic food which I have
+mentioned, is “The Universal Food,” a name suggested by a leading
+physician, who believed it to be universally applicable to enfeebled
+conditions in which better nourishment was needed. It is admirably
+adapted to the nourishment of infants, as diastase is almost entirely
+lacking during the first years of life, and may wisely be supplied from
+exterior sources.
+
+The Company’s great work for the multitude, however, is in the
+preparation of wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas, beans, and other
+seeds. These are perfectly cleansed from all impurities, the outer
+bran-coats, husks, and pellicles are removed, and the interior,
+soluble, digestible food-portion is admirably prepared for ready
+cooking. Persons who have a distaste for Graham and crushed wheat, and
+oat-meal and other cereals, find in the Fine Granulated Wheat, the
+Coarse Granulated Wheat, the Pearled Wheat, Pearled Oats, Granulated
+Oats, Granulated Barley, Rye, Corn, etc., manufactured by this Company,
+delicious foods, which, once adopted, are continued from choice.
+
+I leave this important subject with my readers, again urging them
+to seek to learn more concerning it. To be placed in possession of
+information which I do not assume to be competent to impart, it is only
+necessary that you address a postal card to the Health Food Company,
+No. 74 Fourth Ave., cor. 10th street, New York, N. Y., asking for all
+its Health Food literature, and appending your address, and you will be
+quite certain to receive the entertaining pamphlets by due course of
+mail. The agents of the company, also, cordially respond to calls for
+circulars and orders for the Health Foods.
+
+
+Let me ask my readers not to content themselves with sending for and
+perusing, however carefully, the instructive pamphlets of the Health
+Food Company. If you are sick you will do well to describe your
+condition by letter to the company, and its medical head will write
+you which of the foods are adapted to your case; you can then order a
+supply of such as he advises. If you are in good health and merely seek
+to supply yourself with delicate and nutritive substances which will
+have the effect to keep you strong and well, you will be able to select
+from their list, without special advice. Advice from the medical man
+of the organization costs nothing, however, and should be asked in all
+doubtful or diseased states. J. F. C.

+AN UNSOLICITED LETTER FROM A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN OF NEW YORK.
+
+“_To The Health Food Company, 74 4th Avenue, New York._
+
+  GENTLEMEN:—
+
+I should like to state to your Company the great success I have had
+in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the advisability of letting
+the medical profession generally know of this simple and efficacious
+remedy for constipation. I have prescribed these Suppositories almost
+daily in my practice this winter, and have often been astonished at the
+permanent results obtained. It seems that in great torpor of the rectum
+and descending colon it is especially useful.
+
+I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation was so
+great that very often—much against my will—I was forced to administer
+a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use of these Gluten Suppositories she
+has remained well—over six months. It does not cure _all_ cases, but in
+all the instances where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some
+benefit has been derived.
+
+You may utilize this endorsement if it will make this remedy more
+widely known among the profession.
+
+  Respectfully,
+  J. MONTFORT SCHLEY, M. D.,”

+ Women’s Medical College; Attending Physician at Hahnemann Hospital,
+ &c._
+
+
+
+
+  THE HEALTH FOOD COMPANY OF NEW YORK
+
+
+Is now in the twelfth year of its existence. Its valuable and important
+work has been recognized and commended by thousands of physicians, by
+many writers for the medical and general press, and by multitudes of
+the sick and suffering who have found health and comfort through its
+products. It has had many imitators, but it has conscientiously adhered
+to its original mission of preparing
+
+
+Perfect Foods for Sick and Well.
+
+Basing its work upon exact science, and being presided over by a
+scientific man, it has gained the support and co-operation of the
+scientific world. A year or two since, a competitor in the manufacture
+of a single article, known as “Whole Wheat Flour,” secured the
+publication of an article from the pen of a Dr. Ephraim Cutter—styling
+himself “a microscopist”—in which he asserted his ability to determine
+the relative percentages of gluten and starch by the use of the
+microscope alone. He furthermore said that while the food-value of
+a bread-flour depended upon its percentage of gluten, the various
+flours of the Health Food Company contained no gluten whatever; and
+that the flour made by the “Franklin Mills” (Dr. Cutter’s employer)
+was so rich in gluten as to make it “a blessing to mankind.” These
+grossly absurd statements called forth some very scathing criticisms
+and much ridicule by the medical and secular press, and induced Prof.
+R. H. Thurston, of the Stevens Institute of Technology—who had derived
+benefit from the Health Foods—to invite his colleague, Prof. Albert
+N. Leeds, Public Analyst for the State of New Jersey and Professor of
+Chemistry in the Stevens Institute, to microscopically examine and
+chemically analyze the food substances alluded to, for the purpose of
+determining the accuracy or inaccuracy of Cutter’s statements, and,
+furthermore, to settle the question of the value of the “microscopic
+analysis,” for which so much had been claimed by Cutter. Prof. Leeds’
+careful work conclusively showed that the microscope was _valuable to
+detect adulterations_, but valueless as a means of determining the
+percentages of the various natural constituents of a cereal flour;
+so he proceeded to apply the crucial test of chemical analysis, with
+striking results. (In our limited space we can only briefly quote from
+the Professor’s published statement, but we are assured that he will
+cheerfully mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one who shall address
+him at the College named, situated in Hoboken, New Jersey.) Premising
+that wheat in its natural state contains, on the average, about 12
+per cent. of albuminoids—chiefly gluten—he found in the Health Food
+Company’s Whole Wheat Flour 16.74 per cent. of this substance. Of the
+“Franklin Mills” flour, said to be made from “entire wheat,” he writes:
+“It contains 8.55 per cent. of albuminoids, chiefly gluten, together
+with a very large percentage of cellulose or finely-ground bran. It is
+greatly lacking in nutritive elements.”
+
+Prof. Leeds testifies that the Glutens prepared by the Health Food
+Company are richer in the gluten element than any which he has been
+able to obtain, whether of American or foreign origin, and more than
+twice as rich as a so-called gluten made by Farwell & Rhines, of
+Rochester. He also finds by analysis that “Robinson’s Prepared Barley
+Flour” contains only 5.13 per cent. of albuminoids, while the Health
+Food Company’s barley flour, retailing for less than one-eighth as
+much, contains 13.83 per cent., showing it to be nearly three times
+as rich in substantial nutriment. The flours and foods of the Health
+Food Company are nourishing in health and remedial in sickness. Their
+good work is in the improvement of the blood-making processes, in
+better digestion, in increased nutrition. It is their function to ably
+supplement all such remedial measures as skill and science may suggest.
+Many physicians have testified to the increased readiness of diseases
+to yield to their treatment when the patients have been sustained by
+the bland, soluble, non-irritating, nourishing nutriments prepared by
+the Health Food Company. Its products still stand at the head of the
+long list of food-preparations for infants and invalids, for the sick
+who seek to recover health and strength, for the strong who desire to
+remain strong. It has elevated food and its preparation to the dignity
+of a science, and has sought to render itself wholly worthy of the warm
+encomiums so ably pronounced by scholars, physicians, and scientists,
+conspicuous among whom stand the Rev. John F. Clymer and Prof. Austin
+Flint.

+HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD;
+
+OR,
+
+HYGIENIC COOKERY.
+
+By SUSANNA W. DODDS, M.D.
+
+One large 12mo vol., 600 pp., extra cloth or oil-cloth, Price, $2.00.
+
+
+The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she
+is both a physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably
+the best work ever written on the healthful preparation of food, and
+should be in the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare
+food healthfully and palatably. The best way and the reason why are
+given. It is complete in every department. To show something of what is
+thought of this work, we copy a few brief extracts from the many
+
+
+NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
+
+ “This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome
+ food, and gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that
+ will make luxuries for the palate out of many simple productions of
+ Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”—_Home Journal._
+
+ “Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the
+ equal in all respects, and superior to many of its predecessors.
+ Simplicity is sought to be blended with science, economy with all
+ the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an ample
+ household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs.
+ Dodds’ book, material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen
+ administration.”—_N. Y. Star._
+
+ “The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to
+ those who will intelligently appreciate the author’s stand-point.
+ And there are but few who will not concede that it would be a public
+ benefit if our people generally would become better informed as to the
+ better mode of living than the author intends.”—_Scientific American._
+
+ “She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is
+ eminently practical upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes
+ for making soups, and pies, and cake; it is an educator of how to make
+ the home the abode of healthful people.”—_The Daily Inter-Ocean_,
+ Chicago, Ill.
+
+ “The book is a good one, and should be given a place in every
+ well-regulated cuisine.”—_Indianapolis Journal._
+
+ “As a comprehensive work on the subject of healthful cookery,
+ there is no other in print which is superior, and which brings the
+ subject so clearly and squarely to the understanding of an average
+ housekeeper.”—_Methodist Recorder._
+
+ “In this book Dr. Dodds deals with the whole subject scientifically,
+ and yet has made her instructions entirely practical. The book
+ will certainly prove useful, and if its precepts could be
+ universally followed, without doubt human life would be considerably
+ lengthened.”—_Springfield Union._
+
+ “Here is a cook-book prepared by an educated lady physician. It
+ seems to be a very sensible addition to the voluminous literature on
+ this subject, which ordinarily has little reference to the hygienic
+ character of the preparations which are described.”—_Zion’s Herald._
+
+ “This one seems to us to be most sensible and practical, while yet
+ based upon scientific principles—in short, the best. If it were in
+ every household, there would be far less misery in the world.”—_South
+ and West._
+
+ “There is much good sense in the book, and there is plenty of occasion
+ for attacking the ordinary methods of cooking, as well as the common
+ style of diet.”—_Morning Star._
+
+ “She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and devotes the
+ larger portion of the work to those articles essential to good blood,
+ strong bodies, and vigorous minds.”—_New Haven Register._
+
+
+The work will be sent to any address, by mail, post-paid, on receipt of
+price, $2.00. AGENTS WANTED, to whom special terms will be given. Send

+
+
+
+
+Healthful and Palatable.
+
+
+The most important question with all interested and intelligent
+housekeepers should be “What can I prepare for my table that will be
+HEALTHFUL and PALATABLE?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt
+Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention is given to
+the health and strength giving qualities of the dishes described, and
+a large part of the directions are useless (for never followed) and in
+many cases harmful (if tried).
+
+What is needed is a practical work in which these conditions are
+carefully considered and one which is simple enough to be easily
+understood.
+
+A recent publication, HEALTH IN THE HOUSEHOLD, by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a
+lady physician and a practical housekeeper, covers this ground very
+fully and can be recommended. It considers the value of the different
+food products, the best methods of preparation, and the reason why.
+
+ The Chicago _Inter-Ocean_ says: “She evidently knows what she is
+ writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It
+ is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;
+ it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful
+ people.”
+
+ “She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and
+ devotes the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to
+ good blood, strong bodies, and vigorous minds,” says _The New Haven
+ Register_.
+
+Housekeepers who consult this will be able to provide for the household
+that which will positively please and increase the happiness by
+increasing the healthful conditions.

+It contains 600 large pages, bound in extra cloth or oil cloth binding,

+ PAGE, M.D. 12MO, CLOTH, $1.00.
+
+
+A FEW OF THE MANY NOTES FROM READERS.
+
+J. RUSS, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the
+colds question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the
+book—it is, in fact, invaluable, going to the very root of the question
+of sickness.” Mrs. W. O. THOMPSON, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N.
+Y., says: “I wish every friend I have could read it, and, only that
+hygienists never harbor ill-feeling, that my enemies might not chance
+to find it. I owe much to the truths made clear in ‘Natural Cure,’ and
+it is certain that to it and the professional attendance of the author,
+my sister-in-law owes her life and present robust health.”
+
+FROM A TEACHER.
+
+Mrs. S. S. GAGE, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y., says:
+“My friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to
+me. Thanks to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more;
+I am better in every way. I never could accomplish so much and with
+so little fatigue; and I am sure that all my intellectual work is of
+better quality than it ever was before.”
+
+FROM A HUSBAND.
+
+D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in
+‘Natural Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent
+intervals for forty years, return no more. Formerly I could not work
+for three days at a time, now I work right along. For this, as well as
+for the restoration of my wife to health, after we had given her up as
+fatally sick, I have to thank Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”
+
+FROM THE WIFE.
+
+Mrs. S. E. D. THOMPSON, Lee, N. H. says: “I can not well express
+my gratitude for the benefit I have received from the book and its
+author’s personal counsel. Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly
+wonderful how the power of resting is increased under the influence of
+the regimen prescribed. I have distributed many copies of this book,
+and have known of a _life-long asthmatic cured, biliousness removed,
+perennial hay-fever banished_ for good, and other wonderful changes
+wrought, by means of the regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A friend
+remarked: ‘It is full of encouragement for those who wish to live in
+clean bodies.’ Another said: ‘It has proved to me that I have been
+committing slow suicide.’ Our minister says: ‘I have modified my diet
+and feel like a new man.’” To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s
+first book, “HOW TO FEED THE BABY”: “I have known of a number of babes
+changed from colicky, fretful children to happy well ones, making them
+a delight to their parents, by following its advice.”
+
+WILLIAM C. LANGLEY, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited
+from reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from
+inherited feebleness, or, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the
+need of making the most of their limited powers. I may add, that this
+work bears evidence that the author has had wide range, and extensive
+reading, together with a natural fitness for physiological and hygienic
+research, keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”
+
+Mrs. Dr. DENSMORE, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge
+of my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it
+of the publishers by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”
+
+THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY for September, 1883, speaks highly of the
+work, closing with, “the public has in this work a most valuable manual
+of hygiene.”
+
+THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for August, 1883, says: “It is an effort at
+impressing common-sense views of preserving and restoring health.”

+
+A STORY WORTH READING.
+
+ABOUT HUMAN NATURE.
+
+
+[Illustration: THE LABYRINTH (the inner ear)]
+
+We have recently published a volume containing a story of Human Nature
+which will be found of interest. It is called “The MAN WONDERFUL in
+the HOUSE BEAUTIFUL,” and is an allegory, teaching the principles of
+Physiology and Hygiene, and the effects of Stimulants and Narcotics.
+The House is the Body, in which the Foundations are the Bones, the
+Walls are Muscles, the Skin and Hair the Siding and Shingles, the
+head an Observatory in which are found a pair of Telescopes, and
+radiating from it are the nerves which are compared to a Telegraph,
+while communications are kept up with the Kitchen, Dining-room,
+Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is heated with a Furnace. There are
+also Mysterious Chambers, and the whole is protected by a Burglar
+Alarm. In studying the inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we
+learn of his growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he
+introduces. He finds that some of them are friends, others are doubtful
+acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this form, we ascertain
+the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and Stimulants.
+
+It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children will
+lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the Laws of
+Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten. The book will
+prove of great interest even to adults and those familiar with the
+subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A. Allen, are both regular
+physicians, and therefore the work is accurate and on a scientific
+basis. “Science in Story” has never been presented in a more attractive
+form. It is universally admitted that a large proportion of sickness
+comes from violations of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it
+is important that this subject should be understood by all, as in this
+way we may become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease.
+The reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It will
+be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is only
+$1.50. Address

+A READY PRESCRIBER AND HYGIENIC ADVISER, WITH REFERENCE TO THE CAUSES,

+
+“WHAT THEY SAY”—NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
+
+We give a few of the favorable notices which this work has received:
+
+
+ It possesses the most practical utility of any of the author’s works,
+ and is well adapted to give the reader an accurate idea of the
+ organization and functions of the human frame.—_New York Tribune._
+
+ The work is admirably simple, clear, and full, and no popular work
+ that we ever saw had half its claims to notice. We hope it may have a
+ wide circulation. Its mission is a most important one. It lies at the
+ foundation of all other missions of reform. Let the world be informed
+ in regard to the laws of health, and every other reform will have
+ its way cleared. Till then, every effort for moral and intellectual
+ improvement can be only partially and feebly effective.—_Boston
+ Ledger._
+
+ Without the fear of our family physician before our eyes, we say
+ that this is a very good book to have in families. It contains much
+ valuable instruction in the art of preserving and restoring health,
+ which every man of common sense, who understands anything about the
+ human frame, will see at once is, and must be, sound and reliable.
+ It might, almost any day, be the means of saving a valuable life. We
+ are honestly of the conviction that every household in the land would
+ lessen its complaints and doctor’s bills, if they would read it and
+ follow its suggestions.—_Boston Congregationalist._
+
+ The different cases upon which it treats number over _nine hundred_ in
+ each of which the symptoms, the cause, and the _manner of treatment
+ are given in full_.—_Clinton Tribune._
+
+ There is not a subject relating to health but what it treats upon, in
+ an able manner.—_Howard Gazette._
+
+ Its 516 pages abound with thousands of facts and suggestions of the
+ _highest importance to all_.—_Christian Inquirer._
+
+ It is the best work of the kind we have ever seen upon the subject,
+ and ought to be _in every family_.—_Advertiser._
+
+ It is very elaborate, and is one of the very best of medical works.
+ Every family should have a copy.—_Star of the West._
+
+ It is worth its weight in gold.—_Ellsworth Herald._
+
+ We know of no book comparable to this as THE BOOK for a
+ family.—_Columbia Democrat._
+
+ It is a very able and excellent work, and one which we can heartily
+ recommend to every family; it is everything that its name purports to
+ be.—_Scientific American._
+
+ It is a very comprehensive, valuable work, and cannot fail to exert a
+ salutary effect upon the public mind.—_Baltimore Sun._
+
+ We have no hesitancy in pronouncing it _a very useful book_, and one
+ which should be in the possession of _every family_.—_Beaver Dam
+ Republican._
+
+ Familiarity with its contents will save many dollars’ worth of drugs,
+ and avert many weary days and months of sickness.—_Musical World._
+
+ The work embodies _a vast amount_ of information in regard to the
+ structure and diseases of the human frame, which will be read with
+ profit.—_N. England Farmer._
+
+ Not only are diseases described, and the appropriate treatment pointed
+ out, but numerous examples are given, which cannot fail to interest
+ the reader, and prove a _very acceptable family directory_.—_Boston
+ Traveler._
+
+ It is exceedingly comprehensive, and well illustrated. It contains
+ a great deal of information and sound advice, which every reader,
+ whatever his views on medicine, would consider valuable.—_New York
+ Courier._
+
+ A complete encyclopædia of every disease to which the human family is
+ heir, _with the cure for each disease_.—_Day Book._
+
+ The Author has brought together a mass of information in reference
+ to the human structure, its growth and its treatment, which will
+ render his work of great use to readers _of all classes and

+Brain and Mind,
+
+OR, MENTAL SCIENCE CONSIDERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF
+PHRENOLOGY AND IN RELATION TO MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
+
+By H. S. Drayton, A.M., M.D., and James McNeill, A.B. Illustrated with
+over One Hundred Portraits and Diagrams. $1.50.
+
+
+The authors state in their preface: “In preparing this volume it has
+been the aim to meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise which
+not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental
+science known as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to Anatomy
+and Physiology, as those sciences are represented today by standard
+authority.” [Illustration: Phrenological Head]
+
+The following, from the Table of Contents, shows the scope and
+character of the work:
+
+  GENERAL PRINCIPLES.
+  THE TEMPERAMENTS.
+  STRUCTURE OF THE BRAIN AND SKULL.
+  CLASSIFICATION OF THE FACULTIES.
+  THE SELFISH ORGANS.
+  THE INTELLECT.
+  THE SEMI-INTELLECTUAL FACULTIES.
+  THE ORGANS OF THE SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.
+  THE SELFISH SENTIMENTS.
+  THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS.
+  HOW TO EXAMINE HEADS.
+  HOW CHARACTER IS MANIFESTED.
+  THE ACTION OF THE FACULTIES.
+  THE RELATION OF PHRENOLOGY TO METAPHYSICS AND EDUCATION.
+  VALUE OF PHRENOLOGY AS AN ART.
+  PHRENOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY.
+  OBJECTIONS AND CONFIRMATIONS BY THE PHYSIOLOGISTS.
+  PHRENOLOGY IN GENERAL LITERATURE.
+
+
+Notices of the Press.
+
+Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed at. The scientific researches
+of the last twenty years have demonstrated the fearful and wonderful
+complication of matter, not only with mind, but with what we call moral
+qualities. Thereby, we believe, the divine origin of “our frame” has
+been newly illustrated, and the Scriptural psychology confirmed: and
+in the Phrenological Chart we are disposed to find a species of “urim
+and thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s will concerning us, at
+least His revelation of essential character. One thing is certain,
+that the discoveries of physical science must ere long force all men
+to the single alternative of Calvinism or Atheism. When they see that
+God has written himself sovereign, absolute, and predestinating, on
+the records of His creation, they will be ready to find His writing
+as clearly in the Word; and the analogical argument, meeting the
+difficulties and the objections on the side of Faith by those admitted
+as existing on the side of Sight, will avail as well in one case as
+in the other. We will only add, the above work is, without doubt, the
+best popular presentation of the science which has yet been made. It
+confines itself strictly to facts, and is not written in the interest
+of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its copious
+illustrations, pictorial and narrative, and the whole is brought down
+to the latest information on this curious and suggestive department of
+knowledge.—_Christian Intelligencer._
+
+As far as a comprehensive view of the teachings of Combe can be
+embodied into a system that the popular mind can understand, this book
+is as satisfactory an exposition of its kind as has yet been published.
+The definitions are clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—_Philadelphia
+Enquirer._
+
+
+In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds
+with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the
+work constitutes by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and
+is adapted to both private and class study.
+
+The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most
+part from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and
+great pains have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance
+of the text in each case. For the student of human nature and character
+the work is of the highest value.

+[Illustration: PORTRAITS FROM LIFE, IN “HEADS AND FACES.”]
+
+
+HUMAN-NATURE.
+
+
+If you want something to read that will interest you more thoroughly
+than any book you have ever read, send for a copy of HEADS AND FACES,
+a new Manual of Character Reading for the people. It will show you
+how to read people as you would a book, and see if they are inclined
+to be good, upright, honest, true, kind, charitable, loving, joyous,
+happy and trustworthy people, such as you would like to know; or are
+they by nature untrustworthy, treacherous and cruel, uncharitable and
+hard-hearted, fault-finding, jealous, domineering people whom you would
+not want to have intimate with yourselves or your families.
+
+A knowledge of Human-Nature will enable you to judge of all this at
+sight, and to choose for yourselves and children such companions as
+will tend to make you and them better, purer, more noble and ambitious
+to do and to be right, and would save many disappointments in social
+and business relations. It will aid in choosing and governing servants,
+training children, and deciding whom to trust in all the affairs of
+life. If you would know people without waiting to become acquainted
+with them, read HEAD AND FACES and How to Study Them, a new manual
+of Character Reading, by Prof. Nelson Sizer, the Examiner in the
+phrenological office of Fowler & Wells Co., New York, and H. S.
+Drayton, M. D., Editor of the PHRENOLOGICAL JOURNAL. The authors know
+what they are writing about, Prof. Sizer having devoted more than forty
+years almost exclusively to the reading of character and he here lays
+down the rules employed by him in his professional work.
+
+The study of this subject is most fascinating, and you will certainly
+be much interested in it. Send for this book, which is the most
+comprehensive and popular work ever published for the price, 25,000
+copies having been sold the first year. Contains 200 large octavo
+pages, 250 Portraits and other Illustrations.
+
+We will send it carefully by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, only
+40 cents in paper, or $1.00 in cloth binding. Address

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this

+electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the

+States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
+United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
+claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
+displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
+all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
+that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
+free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
+works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
+Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
+comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the

+other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
+representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
+country outside the United States.
+

+immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
+prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
+on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
+performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
+
+  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
+  most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
+  restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
+  under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this

+  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
+  are located before using this ebook.
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
+derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
+contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
+copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
+the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are

+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
+Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
+contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
+or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
+other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
+cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project

+remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
+accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the

+electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
+including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
+the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
+or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
+additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
+Defect you cause.
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
+mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its
+volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous
+locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt
+Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p><i>Gentlemen</i>:—I have read with great interest a sermon by Rev. Mr.
+Clymer, of Auburn, on “The Relation of Food to Morals,” as it
+appeared in the Auburn <i>Daily Advertiser</i> of June 20th, 1880. Certainly
+everything stands related to morals; and all men, women,
+and children should be made to see and feel this.</p>
+
+<p>I suppose I am considered an old-fashioned preacher. I believe
+in “original sin,” and I believe in a great deal of sin that is not
+original. I believe that every man is so corrupt that he can never
+be made pure without supernatural influence; and I believe that
+he must take advantage, at the same time, of all the natural helps.
+Even the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ cannot make the saint who
+is in the flesh, feel alert and happy, so long as he has any serious
+obstruction of the biliary duct. When I was a younger pastor in a
+Southern city, I was called by a mother to see her daughter, a girl
+of eighteen, who was in a dreadful way, inconsolably laboring under
+the oppressive feeling that there was no mercy for her. I prescribed
+for her torpid liver as my knowledge of the healing art
+enabled me to do, promising to call again soon. When I did call,
+the young lady was relieved, and I was able to secure her attention
+to the comfortable truths of our most holy faith. It is first the natural,
+and then the spiritual; St. Paul, 1 Cor. xv. 46: “Howbeit that
+was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward
+that which is spiritual.”
+We must always feel our dependence on the spirit of God for
+our regeneration and sanctification, but not in such a way as to
+make fools of us. The man whose faith in the supernatural makes
+him depreciate the natural, has no more sense than he whose faith
+in the natural utterly excludes super-nature.</p>
+
+<p>I think you would do a good work to issue Mr. Clymer’s discourse
+as one of a series of tracts proclaiming the gospel of hygiene. Will
+you not do it?</p>

+<span class="xs">A SERMON PREACHED BY</span><br />
+<small>REV. J. F. CLYMER</small>,</h2>
+<p class="center"><span class="smcap"><small>In the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Auburn, New York,<br />
+On Sunday, June 20th, 1880</small></span>.
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+
+<p>“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey
+the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and that when
+they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them, then shall
+his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto
+the elders of his city, and unto the gates of his place; and they
+shall say unto the elders of his city: <i>This our son is stubborn and rebellious;
+he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.</i>”—<span class="smcap">Deut.</span>
+xxi. 18-20.</p></blockquote>
+
+
+<p>We have had much teaching that has left the
+impression on our minds that the soul is the
+<i>only</i> source and seat of all the vice in human
+life. Because it is written “The imaginations
+of the thoughts of the natural heart, are only
+evil continually,” total depravity has been
+fixed on the spirit nature of man; that is, all the
+bad or immoral elements entering into human
+life have been attributed to the innate or inborn
+ugliness of the soul. Accepting the Scriptural
+truth that “the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” we have come to think that sin has its <i>center</i>,
+<i>seat</i>, <i>source and circumference</i> in the soul, or
+the immaterial nature of man. Hence we readily
+admit the fact that influences, good or bad, may
+pass over from the soul to the body, but we do
+not so readily admit that <i>other</i> fact, equally<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>
+true, that influence good or bad may go over
+from the <i>body</i> to the soul. The road over
+which vicious thoughts and lustful imaginations
+pass from the soul to the body is the highway
+over which unbridled appetites, unrestrained
+passions and unsubdued lusts in the body may
+go to the soul, goading it to the wildest conceptions
+of vice and lecherous imaginations. The
+warm rays of the sun may gender rottenness in
+the muddy pool; so also will the effluvia from
+the pool poison the sunlight near it. The soul
+by its vicious thoughts and imaginations will
+entail an immoral tone on the body; so also
+will the body react on the soul, by its appetites,
+passions and propensities, increasing the viciousness
+of the soul by pushing it to courses
+of vice not directly and immediately its own.
+In our text is found an illustration of this
+thought. A father and mother bring their
+stubborn and rebellious son to the elders of the
+Jewish church. They assign, as the cause of
+his stubbornness and rebellion, gluttony and
+drunkenness, than which there are no vices
+that demoralize the body more, or goad the
+soul to greater crimes. Hear it:</p>
+
+<p>“This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he
+will not obey our voice, he is a glutton and a
+drunkard.” That is, bad conditions of the
+physical nature, wrought by gluttony and
+drunkenness, have made him stubborn and rebellious.
+It will not help the case to say that
+his stubbornness and rebellion caused his
+gluttony and drunkenness, for if they did, then
+his soul must act on the body. His morals
+must influence his manners, and therefore his
+manners must reflect on his morals; they must
+interact, which is just the point we make; that
+his appetite and lust fire the temperament or dis<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span>position,
+and a fiery disposition provokes appetite
+and lust to wilder indulgences.</p>
+
+<p>A remarkable fact, in this day of advanced
+science and revelation, is that Christians and
+moralists in their work of reform have paid so
+little attention to the influence of the body on
+the soul. Jesus Christ more than any other
+teacher or reformer recognized the demoralizing
+and debasing influence of bad bodily conditions.
+Hence he almost always healed maladies of the
+body before he entered his principles upon the
+soul. It is true that his many miracles on the
+bodies of men were primarily intended to reveal
+his divinity; yet divinity in its manifestations
+always runs over the whole line of the natural
+before passing into the supernatural; therefore
+Christ’s miracles on the bodies of men had a
+sanitary side to them. The man with the leprosy
+was in the poorest condition bodily to hear
+favorably any talk about moral sweetness;
+hence Christ healed his diseased body, in connection
+with his moral teachings. His example
+with the blind and hungry and deaf in this respect
+ought not to go for nothing with those of
+us who seek to save men in our day. Philanthropists
+and Christians for the most part have
+overlooked the power of a debased body on the
+soul. They forget that Paul likens a body that
+has sinful habitudes to a thing of death, as
+compared with the soul that seeks to live the
+new life in Christ Jesus. Therefore good men
+have labored to create in themselves and those
+whom they seek to reform, certain emotional
+conditions of the spirit, by a tenacious adherence
+to creeds, or the patient performance of a
+set round of religious duties, and all this regardless
+of bad physical conditions begotten by
+bad habits of eating and drinking. While they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>
+have been struggling to bring their own souls
+and the souls of others into holy attitudes, all
+the basilar forces of the body have run riot
+within, and perhaps beyond, the pale of human
+customs and human laws. If you want to
+empty a boiler of steam, it will not help you
+much by lifting the safety valve if you still
+keep water in the boiler and fire in the furnace.
+Prayer, Bible reading and Psalm singing will
+not help a man much to get rid of his sins, if
+he keeps up a set of bodily habits which fire
+the body and inflame the soul to continue its
+sinning. That you may see the connection
+more clearly between vice and victuals, let me
+show you how food may damage our bodies
+and demoralize our souls.</p>
+
+<p>I am fully aware of the difficulties I encounter
+in entering this thought on your minds.
+Because religion has been considered as having
+little or nothing to do with the body, I shall
+encounter the settled opinions of good men to
+this effect. Because our popular methods of
+eating have the sanction of custom and the defense
+of long established habits, I may not
+criticise them without losing the favor of those
+who are content with things as they are. Because
+I shall call in question many indulgences
+of appetite hitherto considered sinless, I shall
+run the risk of being called a fanatic or fool.
+Because I shall preach the New Testament
+doctrine of self-denial many will say this is a
+hard saying—“who can bear it?” But with
+the hope that I may unfold to you a glorious
+realm of liberty from the bondage of bodily
+propensities, I cheerfully do my duty and leave
+the consequences for God to look after.</p>
+
+<p>Very few of us are aware of the great physical
+demoralization and spiritual wickedness,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span>
+brought on us and our children, by bad habits
+of eating, as to the kind of food, the mode of
+its preparation, and the manner and times of
+taking it. We refuse to think of our indulgences
+of appetite as the cause of our physical
+ailments and premature death, and much less
+will we allow ourselves to believe that these indulgences
+have anything to do with forming
+our morals or shaping our characters or determining
+our eternal destiny.</p>
+
+<p>And yet I aver, without the fear of successful
+refutation, that three-fourths of all our bodily
+ailments or diseases, and many of our immoral
+acts, are the legitimate results of improper
+dietetic habits. If these habits do not effect us
+directly, they do so indirectly by lowering the
+tone of the whole system, physical and moral,
+causing us to break down prematurely into
+some disease or deviltry, under the pressure of
+legitimate toil or immoral provocation. How
+is it possible to account for the death of one
+half the human family before five years of age,
+unless we trace it to the violation of physical
+laws in some way connected with the eating
+habits alike of parent and child? Many children
+enter the world with such a low state of
+inherited physical vitality, and so little moral
+tone, that they are unable to resist the attacks
+of bodily disease or throw it off when on them,
+and much less able to throw off moral disease
+and rise above their immoral heritage if spared
+to pass through childhood to years of maturity.
+Such children not only carry in their little
+bodies the physical weaknesses of their parents,
+but also the specific immoral tendencies found
+in the conditions of their parentage. And
+more than this, should their endowment of vitality
+be sufficient to carry them over the death<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span>
+line for infants, they are subject to such unnatural
+relations to dress and diet that it becomes
+a natural impossibility for them to live. In this
+way many children die prematurely, not by
+the arbitrary edict of God, but by the violation
+of law. And if God should save their lives by
+special suspension of his laws, more damage
+would be done to the moral harmony of the
+universe than to let them die. I know it is
+a common custom to ascribe all sickness and
+death to the direct and arbitrary action of Divine
+Providence. That is, if one overeats, or eats
+innutritious food, or at improper times, making
+himself sickly, so that he becomes an easy prey
+to disease, and dies suddenly or at the noon
+tide of life, all the good people say—“What a
+strange Providence!” As if God had everything
+to do with such a death, and the deceased had
+little or nothing to do with it. I incline to the
+opinion that Divine Providence has little or
+nothing to do with such deaths only in so far as
+Divine Providence is in the laws of life violated.
+The primary cause of all premature deaths is
+violated law. God does not arbitrarily kill
+anybody. Most of those who die in infancy or
+in early life, come to death by the violation of
+God’s laws written in their bodies. If these
+laws were obeyed in us and in our ancestry,
+most of us ought to live beyond three score
+years and ten, and drop from this life into the
+other in a ripe, mellow old age, just as ripe
+fruit drops from its bough in autumn time.
+But you ask where is God in the many untimely
+deaths that occur? I answer He is present in
+his great hearted goodness to help the dying to
+an eternal victory over death, if they will only
+let Him. He is present to bind up the hearts
+that are breaking with sorrow for the departed,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span>
+and to make a sudden, untimely, and needless
+death a monument of warning to those still
+living, thus making the wrath of man to praise
+Him. If therefore our children die in infancy,
+because we have entailed on them feeble bodies
+by our violation of law, God does not kill them,
+but they die through violated law, and he in
+His goodness takes the little ones to His bosom,
+the seat and source of all law. Let us not then
+charge our sorrows to the willful enactment of
+our Heavenly Father. He taketh no pleasure
+in the death of him that dieth. When he gives
+life to us, He intends that we shall keep it as
+long as possible.</p>
+
+<p>Having given us life, all the forces of His
+boundless nature are engaged to maintain it in
+us until He is ready to harvest us as the farmer
+does the ripened grain. The God of nature and
+the God of grace are not in antagonism. “The
+one God is in all and over all.” A kingdom
+divided against itself cannot stand. If, therefore,
+we die this side of three score years and
+ten—seventy years—we die untimely. It is
+high time that good men were awake to this
+fact, and ceased charging over to Divine Providence
+what legitimately belongs to ourselves.
+“Jesus Christ came to destroy him that hath
+the power of death, that is the devil;” and
+when the philosophy of Jesus is wrought up
+into human lives by obedience to physical laws,
+the power of disease and death over our bodies
+will be very much broken. The victory over
+death can be so far achieved by men in the
+body that they need not die until their minds
+and hearts have received all the development
+in this world that infinite love ordains. That is,
+men may so baffle the monster of death by
+obedience to law as to keep him at bay until<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span>
+their souls have taken on such Christly ripeness
+that they shall burst and break their bodies,
+as the ripening chestnuts break their burrs
+under the frosts of autumn. We have, therefore,
+no right to ascribe to supernatural agency
+any phenomena which can be explained on
+natural principles. Disobedience to law brings
+penalties. There is nothing that men need to
+see more in their efforts at reform than the connection
+between their sufferings and their disobedience.
+Now, disobedience to the laws of life
+brings the penalties, sickness and premature
+death. There is no field where our disobedience
+manifests itself more frequently and with so
+little thought of consequences, as in our false
+and unnatural habits of eating and drinking,
+which damage the body and demoralize the
+soul.</p>
+
+<p>“The Blood is the Life.” This is the declaration
+alike of revelation and of science. Evolutionary
+processes may induce a variation in
+the form or number of the blood corpuscles,
+but they can not set aside the law that the
+building and rebuilding of all the organs involved
+in bodily or mental acts comes from
+the blood alone. The physical, mental and
+moral natures are so intimately connected that
+that which affects one, affects the others. So
+that a man’s mental and moral nature, as well
+as his physical, can very largely be determined
+by the quality of his blood. Now it is a physiological
+fact that our blood is made out of the
+food we eat. That food which enters the mouth
+and is assimilated, makes blood. By the
+marvelous processes of digestion and assimilation
+our food is transformed into blood; and
+the blood passing through the veins and arteries
+repairs the waste tissues and forms new ones,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span>
+thus building up our bodies and sustaining life.
+It follows then that our bodies are made of the
+food we eat. Evidently it was the design of
+our Creator that the prime object of eating
+should be the building up of tissue—muscles,
+bones and brains. That this may be a pleasure
+to us, He has associated with eating the delights
+of appetite. But most of us have so far perverted
+the divine order as to make the pleasures
+of appetite the chief object of eating. “Give
+us something <i>good</i> to eat,” is the great cry of
+humanity, and the goodness of food is gauged
+by the sensations of the palate and not by the
+law of nutrition. Most of us determine the
+goodness of our food by the amount of sensual
+delight it imparts to the palate, no matter how
+much damage it may do beyond to the delicate
+and intricate structure of the stomach and
+viscera. Hence a vast amount of food enters
+the mouth that makes bad blood, blood that in
+itself is corrupt, and carries poisonous particles
+to every organ in the system, putting us
+in splendid condition to be easily provoked to
+some outburst of anger, passion or revenge.
+My hearers, there is a sure and vital connection
+between bad blood and bad morals. Blood
+always tells in morals as well as in muscles.
+Blood has power throughout the whole realm
+of life, whether it be in a human body, in society,
+or in the body of a horse on the racecourse.</p>
+
+<p>You ask, what kind of food makes bad blood?
+I answer, very much of the flesh of animals, that
+forms the staple diet of most of us. Sty-fed
+pigs and stall-fed oxen are fattened under the
+most unlawful and unhealthful conditions possible;
+shut up in the dark, cut off from exercise,
+the fat deposited on their bodies is made<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span>
+up of the waste matter that the life-forces of the
+animal have been unable to expel. This waste
+fatty matter, surcharged with unexpelled excretions,
+is liable to induce disease in all who
+consume it. It has established tuberculosis in
+captive lions, and in cats and dogs, and in other
+carnivora; and it were folly to assume that
+mankind, feeding upon such poisonous food,
+should wholly escape. Even in the living animal
+this effete unexpelled poisonous waste
+breeds vermin, such as have been found in pork,
+which cannot be destroyed by ordinary cooking
+or by the process of digestion, and hence live
+and generate in the human body, producing disease
+and death. I am not now making a plea
+for the absolute disuse of animal food, but
+against the bad quality of very much of it, and
+also against the inordinate use of that which
+may be good in quality. A certain amount of
+animal food is useful for our nourishment, especially
+in winter time, because of its heat producing
+qualities. But meat every day, and at
+every meal, is in no way necessary for the
+proper sustenance of the human system.</p>
+
+<p>The use of large quantities of animal food,
+however free from disease-germs, as a <i>staple</i>
+article of diet makes the blood gross, coarse and
+corrupt, filling the body with scrofulous elements,
+sending poison to every part of the system,
+causing it to break out in running sores,
+salt-rheum, tetter and the like, producing an
+inordinate appetite, throwing every organ of
+the body into frictional relations to every other
+organ. It is a matter of every-day surprise to
+me that any human being will consent to eat
+the flesh of pigs. Consider their uncleanness,
+their selfish, greedy habits, the vast amount of
+corruption that enters into their bodies, their<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span>
+want of exercise, their impure breathing, their
+lack of sudorific glands or emunctories,
+through which effete tissues and morbid accumulations
+may be expelled; and think, when
+you eat pork, of the train of horrid elements
+which enter into your body. And your body
+thus debased by a low order of animal flesh,
+the effect must be to make you take on the disposition
+and tendencies of the hog. God’s bill
+of fare in the eleventh chapter of Leviticus
+excluded from the tables of the Jews the hog
+and all water animals except those that had
+fins and scales. This bill of fare was given to
+the Jews not only for the preservation of their
+health, but, as God’s great purpose was moral
+reform, He had an eye single to their moral
+condition in the matter of their eating. Does
+any one doubt that the unhealthy, ugly, and
+vicious elements that make up the flesh of most
+of the animals we eat, enter our blood, and in
+that way affect the disposition or carriage of
+the soul? I am confident, if there was less demand
+for animal food the quality would be
+very much better. Animals would not be subject
+to false and unhealthy generation, and
+false and hasty methods of growth. They
+would come up more in keeping with the laws
+of their nature, and come to us with more
+healthy and better qualities. As for the hog,
+if man would not domesticate him, he could
+not propagate his species. He would become
+extinct just like the lion, leopard, and hyena,
+under the march of civilization. As the blessings
+of civilized life reach us, you notice the
+carnivorous or flesh-eating animals become
+extinct. So it seems to me that with the developments
+of civilization there ought to be such
+moral refinements in human beings that they<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span>
+would grow away from their carnivorous tendencies,
+and eat such food as tends to develop
+the mental and moral faculties, and not the
+animal propensities. Among animals you find
+that those that live on the flesh of other animals
+are the most vicious and destructive, such
+as the lion, leopard, and hyena. Those animals
+that live on the grains and the higher
+order of foods are the best, most beautiful,
+and most useful, such as the horse and cow.
+If this law obtains among animals, why not
+among men? Beyond a doubt it does. If you
+want proof of this, study the character and
+lives of those who live largely on animal food,
+and you will find them very animal-like in all
+their relations—restive, impatient, passionate,
+ugly in their ways, fiery in their disposition,
+easily provoked, readily put out of humor.
+And if you could look into their private lives
+you would find all their baser qualities having
+the fullest sway, stopping, it may be, inside
+the fence of human laws and customs, but seldom
+considering the claims of a higher and
+divine law. I charge, then, very much of our
+household misery, domestic woe, and connubial
+wretchedness, to unrestrained lust begotten
+in the body by the inordinate use of animal
+food.</p>
+
+<p>We forget, my hearers, that the great law of
+nature, “Like produces like,” is universal.
+“Every seed after its kind is the law of all
+creation.” There is no exception to this law.
+This principle obtains not only in the production
+of life, but in the processes of its development.
+If my position about the intimacy of
+soul and body is true, then, if a man’s body is
+made up chiefly of flesh taken from diseased
+animals, and his whole physical frame is satu<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span>rated
+with the irritating and exciting condiments
+of what is popularly called good food,
+the whole bias of his bodily powers will be
+toward animalism. All the impressions and
+impulses that the soul receives from such a
+body are beastly and debasing. Like produces
+like in the formation of physical tissue out of
+food, as well as in the generation of stock in
+the stall. Hence I hold that very much of the
+wickedness of mankind is the natural expression
+of physical beastliness rather than the outflow
+of innate viciousness. A body made up
+largely of all manner of nerve-goading, passion-producing,
+anger-generating elements,
+such as are found in the gross animal dishes
+with their stimulating adjuncts, just as surely
+drives the soul to sin as a tempest drives a
+feather before it.</p>
+
+<p>As modern research has proved that bad or
+imperfect food when digested surely makes bad
+or imperfect blood, incapable of performing its
+appointed work of upbuilding and of reparation,
+so has science demonstrated that perfect
+food is one of the most potent among remedies
+for the relief of many diseased conditions.
+Since the blood is the life, and since blood is
+merely food emulsified, mingled with certain
+digestive fluids and colored by the oxygen with
+which it is brought in contact in the lungs—it
+is easy to understand how perfect food may
+create perfect blood, which shall presently
+supplant that which is feeble, that which is
+lacking in waste-repairing power, that which
+fails to give strength to the muscles or vigor to
+the brain, and may thus become the most
+effective medicine. A perusal of recent professional
+medical literature evinces the great
+stress which is now laid upon dietetics in the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span>
+treatment of all diseases. The approach to this
+high altitude has been gradual, but sure. At
+first foods were made the vehicles for drugs;
+and cod-liver oil and malt-extracts, which are
+only concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon
+varieties, were loaded with lime and iron and
+strychnine and phosphorous and scores of
+other drugs. But perfect results were secured
+by the use of these foods without the drug
+additions, and so the foods were at last given
+the credit which all along belonged to them.
+And so it has come to pass that with advanced
+medical men, in a vast majority of cases of
+sickness, the support of the life-powers by
+proper nutrients is the foremost thought, the
+best food proving to be the best medicine.</p>
+
+<p>The kind of food a man eats, and the time
+and manner of his eating it, are not merely a
+question of medicine, but one of the first questions
+of morals. The effects of food on the
+passions and feelings are thus described by
+Prior:</p>
+
+<div class="poetry-container"><div class="poetry"><div class="stanza">
+  <div class="verse">“Observe the various operations</div>
+  <div class="verse">Of food and drink in several nations;</div>
+  <div class="verse">Was ever Tartar fierce and cruel</div>
+  <div class="verse">Upon the strength of water gruel?</div>
+  <div class="verse">But who shall stand his rage and force</div>
+  <div class="verse">When first he rides, then eats, his horse?</div>

+  <div class="verse">And if I take Don Confrere right,</div>
+  <div class="verse">Pudding and beef make Britons fight.”</div>
+</div></div></div>
+
+<p>If, therefore, our meat has something to do
+with our morals, or if our food in some way
+affects our faith, it seems to me that many of
+our efforts at moral reform ought to be preceded
+by instruction in hygiene. In other
+words, efforts to make a man genuinely devotional
+ought to be prefaced by efforts to correct
+bad dietetic habits. A father, by prayer and<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span>
+precept and flogging, had done his best to reform
+his boy, whose staple diet was meat and
+sausage and pie and cake at his meals, with
+lunch between. The family physician said to
+the father, “If you will put a leech back of
+each of your boy’s ears once a week for a
+month, you will do more to reform him than
+your preaching and pounding will do in a
+year.” The father asked for the philosophy
+of this prescription. “Why,” said the doctor,
+“your boy has bad blood, and too much of it;
+he must behave badly or he would burst.”
+“Then,” said the father, “I’ll change his diet
+from beef and pie to hominy and milk.” In
+three months thereafter a better boy for his
+age could not be found in the neighborhood.
+The acrid, biting, evil blood had not become
+food for leeches, but it had done its wicked
+work and passed away, and a cooler, blander,
+purer, safer blood had been supplied from
+sweeter, gentler food sources.</p>
+
+<p>In your use of animal food be very particular
+as to quality and quantity. Lamb and
+mutton are considered the most healthy by the
+authorities. Avoid as you would contagion
+the use of pork, unless you raise it yourselves,
+and feed it with good grain, and not the refuse
+of the house or barn, and keep the animals as
+clean as you do your pet dogs. Never fry
+your meat with hogs’ lard, but stew, bake,
+boil, or broil it. Use hogs’ lard in no form for
+cooking. Most of it is said to be reeking with
+scrofulous elements. Displace it in <i>all</i> your
+cooking by milk or butter. If you want to
+aid and not hinder the growth of your soul
+Godward, if you desire to have pure
+thoughts and a pure heart and a pure life, see
+that you make your blood out of pure food, or<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span>
+you will find that your soul will have an enemy
+within the castle of its body more treacherous
+and deadly than any of its enemies
+without.</p>
+
+<p>There is another popular article of food
+among us, which has a vital connection with
+bodily disorders and bad exhibition of character.
+Good in proper quantities and in its
+sphere, when made the largest and chief article
+of diet, for every meal, the one kind of food
+upon which we depend most for building up
+the wastes of our bodies, it indirectly does
+great damage. I refer to the ordinary fine
+flour bread made out of bolted wheat meal.</p>
+
+<p>It is proper to remember that the white flour
+from which our bread is chiefly made, and
+which is deemed the staff of life, is a purely
+artificial product—a selection from that perfect
+food combination which exists in wheat. A
+competent food chemist has compared the regular
+milling processes to one by which the fat
+part of an ox should be saved for food, and the
+lean part—the albuminous or nitrogenous portion—discarded
+and given to the dogs. The
+comparison is well based, since the starch of
+wheat, which is valued because of its whiteness,
+is a carbo-hydrate, chemically allied to
+the fat of meat; while the dark nutriment of
+wheat, which, because of its color, is discarded
+with the bran with which it is found in
+contact in nature, is a vegetable nitrogenous
+albumen, rich in mineral elements, and almost
+identical, chemically, with the lean or muscular
+tissue of beef.</p>
+
+<p>The process of bolting or refining takes from
+the wheat most of the phosphates and nitrates,
+the elements that are chiefly required for
+making nerves, muscles, bones, and brains.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span>
+The phosphates and nitrates being removed by
+bolting, very little remains in the flour except
+the starchy carbonates, the heat and fat producing
+elements. The use of fine flour bread
+as a staple article of food introduces too much
+heat and fat-producing elements into the system,
+and where there is too much carbon or
+heating substance, it tends rather to provoke
+the system to unnatural and abnormal action,
+and instead of serving as an element to warm
+the body, its tendency is to burn or consume,
+heating and irritating all the organs, getting
+one into that state which is popularly known
+as “hot-blooded.”
+The fine white flour ordinarily used has two-thirds
+of the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment
+that God put in the wheat taken out.
+Unless these deficiencies are made up by some
+other foods, the exclusive use of fine flour
+bread will leave the nerves and bones poorly
+nourished, producing in some systems nervousness,
+dyspepsia, and all the physical ills
+that follow these diseases, together with impatience,
+fretfulness, and irritability. God intended
+that all the nutritive properties He put
+in the wheat should stay in it for purposes of
+symmetrical nourishment. Fine flour bread
+may be used for purposes of producing heat in
+the system, but it does not feed hungry nerves
+or starving bones.</p>
+
+<p>One reason why children fed chiefly on white
+bread feel hungry nearly all the time, and demand
+so much food between meals, is found in
+the fact that their bodies are insufficiently
+nourished. Their bones and nerves not receiving
+the nitrates and phosphates they need, are
+suffering from hunger.</p>
+
+<p>When children are fed with food that thor<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[Pg 20]</a></span>oughly
+nourishes their whole system, they will
+seldom desire to eat between meals and thus retard
+the process of digestion and lay the foundation
+for dyspepsia and all its kindred evils.</p>
+
+<p>Flour made of all the nutriment of pure
+white wheat, unbolted, yet without the shell or
+husk or bran, contains all the elements necessary
+for the nourishment of the body. The
+flour called Graham flour rarely contains these
+elements. There is a great deal of bogus stuff
+in the market, which has brought the genuine
+article into disrepute, and made many thoughtful
+people disgusted with everything in that
+line. Very much that is called Graham flour is
+made up of a mixture of fine bolted flour, and
+the woody fibre of the wheat, which has no
+nutriment in it at all. This wretched fabrication
+has tended to make all whole wheat
+products unpopular. The woody bran is
+worse than worthless as food, or to mix with
+food. You might as well eat the shells of nuts,
+or the husks of corn, or the skins of potatoes,
+as the silex coats of wheat. To overload the
+alimentary canal with such foreign indigestible
+matter has no other tendency but to
+weaken and debilitate it. Very few millers
+trouble themselves to make a perfect whole
+wheat flour. I know but one establishment in
+the world where wheat and other grains are
+treated precisely as they should be, with all
+the harmful part removed and the rest made
+digestible by harmless methods, and that is the
+Health Food Company of New York.<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a></p>

+food given to man except the pure gluten of
+wheat. I am not now advocating the views of
+the extremists, the Grahamites, neither do I
+counsel the disuse of fine flour bread. This
+latter should be used in connection with unbolted
+flour, but should not be relied on to
+furnish you with all the nutritious elements
+that your bodies need. There is a golden mean
+between the extremes of vegetarianism and exclusive
+flesh diet which the common sense of
+thoughtful people will find. During the warm
+season a diet made up chiefly of fruits, grains,
+and vegetables will be most healthful for body
+and soul. Instead of the scrofula-breeding
+pork or ham for breakfast, use some one of the
+great variety of grains, especially oat-meal,
+than which there are few better foods for growing
+children and hard working adults. Instead
+of fried cakes, rich pastry, and candies, use
+fruit, of which there is an abundant variety,
+ten-fold more nourishing than pies or cakes,
+and very cleansing to the blood. Let brown
+bread, Johnnie-cake, and corn-meal pudding
+supplant fine wheat bread as much as possible.
+Eat your meals regularly and slowly, eating
+nothing between them. Eat sparingly of meat
+at mid-day, and let it be good fresh beef, mutton,
+or fish, well cooked. Let the evening meal
+be taken not later than six o’clock. Discard
+tea and coffee, and make your own coffee with
+browned crusts of bread, or burned whole
+wheat.<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> Follow these suggestions and you will<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span>

+
+<p>Again, we derange our bodies and demoralize
+our souls by eating too much. The great
+end of life with many of us is to eat. The
+American dining-room has become, for the most
+part, a place for the indulgence of animalism,
+and not for the development of the affections
+or social qualities. A distinguished American
+physician said: “I am sixty-six years old, and
+I have eaten enough food to answer my wants
+for 100 years, and yet I am what most people
+call a small eater.” The popular habit of using,
+inordinately, appetizers in the shape of the
+ordinary table condiments, begets a false and
+unnatural appetite. The time comes when
+honest food palls upon the depraved senses.
+The pampered, jaded appetite no longer finds
+satisfaction in simple food-flavors; the palate
+must be prompted with pungent things. The
+cook, who is never a physiologist, responds to
+the demand for spurs to appetite, and finds
+them in mixtures of spices and peppers and
+mustards and acids and essential oils and
+chemicals, and multitudes of non-food substances.
+With these, and various biting alcohols,
+the delicate lining of the stomach is inflamed,
+inducing a desire for food which
+passes for what it is not, namely, honest
+appetite. The palate demands more food than
+the stomach can digest or the system assimilate.
+Poor nature, anxious to do the best she
+can, adapts herself to the unnatural situation,
+and forces all the other organs to do the same;
+and thus we become accustomed to over-eating
+and do not know it.</p>
+
+<p>That all who accustom themselves to a stim<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span>ulating
+diet, to spices and wines and other irritating
+things, consume too much food, cannot,
+I think, be gainsayed. The amount and kind
+of food needed depends upon the individual
+habits and the kind of waste to be supplied. A
+wholly idle man should thrive well on cucumbers
+and water-melons, which are chiefly water;
+while the hard-working hod-carrier would
+demand several pounds of solid carbon and
+nitrogen daily. It is the sedentary, the well-to-do,
+the man of leisure, who suffers most
+from over-eating; and it behooves him to carefully
+avoid all goads and spurs to appetite.
+With the simplest flavors he is nearly certain
+to over-eat and thus to suffer. With an appetite
+stimulated and induced, without corresponding
+out-door labor to create a genuine need and
+demand for it, digestive failure and assimilative
+bankruptcy is only a question of time.</p>
+
+<p>The stomach, overloaded, performs its work
+imperfectly, and thus imposes on all the organs
+an extra amount of work, which breaks them
+down prematurely, causing diseases of every
+kind, such as nervous headache, sick headache,
+rush of blood to the head, apoplexy, sore
+eyes, deafness, erysipelas, neuralgia of the
+face, decayed teeth, catarrh, bronchitis, asthma,
+nausea, common colic, congestion of the liver,
+and a host of other diseases too unpleasant to
+mention. In some cases there is a disposition
+of too much fatty matter in the system; and
+many people suppose that fatness is a sign of
+healthfulness, which is false. No one needs
+any more fat on his body than is essential to
+form cushions for his tendons and muscles; if
+too much, there is a depletion of strength.</p>
+
+<p>The crowded and overloaded condition of the
+system makes the body take on very many<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span>
+false manifestations. The irritation produced
+in an overcharged system manifests itself in
+different forms in different individuals. In some
+it produces nervousness, making them rack
+the flesh off their bones and keeping them poor;
+and in others it produces sluggishness, retaining
+defunct matter in the system, making them
+corpulent. As I have said, our highly-seasoned
+foods create morbid and abnormal appetites.</p>
+
+<p>As a consequence we eat too much and too
+often, the system being borne down by overwork
+in its digestive department, there comes
+a demand for stimulating drinks and medicines
+to take off the depression and to keep up tone;
+and to make ourselves feel good, after having
+made ourselves feel bad, by improper eating,
+some of us resort to tea and coffee, and others
+to alcohol, and then the excitement produced
+demands a sedative, and some of us smoke and
+others chew a poisonous weed called tobacco.
+Thus the poor body, subject to these revulsions
+of unnatural action in overwork and stimulation
+and sedation, is goaded to abnormities
+and unnatural action, sending up to the soul
+no other influences but those which drive it to
+moral madness and vicious deeds.</p>
+
+<p>Now, vice is a morbid exhibition of the will.
+The will is represented through the physical
+organ, the brain, and the brain is straightway
+affected by the condition of the body and the
+state of the blood. The will is that power of
+the mind by which we put forth volitions and
+perform actions. If the pressure of bad blood
+is on the brain, that same pressure is on the
+will; hence a sick man or a diseased man will
+do a great many bad things through the power
+of bad blood on the will. Vice, then, is both<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span>
+the result and cause of physical derangement.
+Hence that vice of vices, drunkenness.</p>
+
+<p>Drunkenness may be caused by bad physical
+conditions, brought about by bad habits of
+eating. Would it not be well for us to look
+into bad table habits for one of the reasons
+why so many of our young men become drunkards?
+May there not be some cause working
+in the flesh of our youths, driving them to intemperance?
+May it not be possible that kind
+fathers and mothers for years have been filling
+up the awful gap of 40,000 dead drunkards
+annually by feeding their children upon stimulating,
+highly-seasoned, innutritious foods?
+There is no doubt in my mind that every man
+is a glutton before he is a drunkard. If nature’s
+laws are violated, a man’s sensations will
+be all abnormal, and the mainsprings of his
+life will be befouled, and the result will be
+irregular and vicious expressions of all the
+appetites, both for food and drink. I am,
+therefore, confident that the widespread appetite
+for intoxicating liquors is largely due to
+the false relations that the American people
+hold to their food. We cannot hope much
+from moral suasion and legal enactments so
+long as we overlook the physical condition of
+the drunkard. If you would cure disease or
+vice effectually, you must shut off that which
+nourishes them, instead of putting all your
+force in efforts to antidote them. “Let the
+wicked forsake his way,” and then turn unto
+the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and
+to our God, and he will abundantly pardon
+him. There are 200,000 drunkards in the
+United States, 40,000 of whom go annually to
+premature graves. There are 20,000 prostitutes,
+whose average life in their profession is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span>
+four years. Do you believe this vast army of
+immortals go willingly to ruin? There are
+causes lying back of mere perversities of soul
+in the common every-day dietetic habits of
+these forlorn ones.</p>
+
+<p>Eating and drinking are always associated
+with the bar and brothel, and if you will take
+notice, the eating is always of that kind of food
+which goes straight for the animal nature, and
+wakes up in a man everything that is beastly.</p>
+
+<p>The whole tendency of the food furnished at
+the popular bar-room restaurant is to stir the
+baser elements in humanity and keep up the
+demand for alcoholic stimulants. No wonder
+the drinking saloons can afford to give what
+they call a “free lunch.” Care is taken to
+furnish such food as fires the appetite for strong
+drink, and the rum-seller gets his pay for his
+“free lunch” through the sale of the whisky
+that must inevitably follow it. Those who,
+living on highly stimulating foods, but do not
+drink strong drinks, will find that the bias of
+their bodily powers, instead of being toward
+mental and spiritual spheres, will be toward
+animal indulgences, dragging the mind and
+soul into servitude to the flesh, and where there
+are any moral aspirations, making the conflict
+between the higher and lower nature so intense
+that a vast amount of moral force is wasted in
+self-conflict that ought to go into the world’s
+redemptive agencies for saving the lost.</p>
+
+<p>I am confident that the American habit of
+eating sumptuous and late suppers, whether at
+our homes or church fairs or festivals, is damaging
+the physical, mental, and moral health
+of our nation more than any other one thing of
+its kind; more damaging, because it has the
+appearance of innocency, and the sanction of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span>
+our fathers and mothers and some of our pastors.</p>
+
+<p>Furthermore, the habit of eating hurriedly,
+or hastily, is preying upon the vital and moral
+forces of many of us. A meal eaten hastily or
+nervously, under the pressure of intense mental
+activity or nervous tension, or great weariness,
+begins its work of nutrition under the
+greatest possible disadvantage. All our meals
+should be eaten calmly and deliberately, so as
+to thoroughly masticate the food, and not impose
+on the stomach and viscera the legitimate
+work of the teeth. In the interest of health to
+soul as well as body I enter an earnest plea for
+more time for eating, and especially at noon,
+when most hard working people take their
+principal meal. Clerks, business men, and
+school teachers, mechanics, laborers, and our
+children who attend the public schools, need
+more time at noon to properly dispose of the
+chief meal of the day. No better investment
+could be made to secure the best possible physical,
+intellectual, financial, and moral returns
+than for all classes of people to take two hours
+at mid-day for resting and eating dinner. Selfish
+greed demands otherwise, and makes a
+show of gain; but the loss is sure to come in
+due time to all parties concerned.</p>
+
+<p>My friends, when will we fast-living, fast-eating,
+fast-working, and fast-dying Americans
+learn the great lesson, that life is a
+unit, that the Divine Trinity in us, namely,
+the physical, intellectual, and spiritual, is one
+life, with different phases of expression; and
+whatever mars one mars the whole, and whatever
+builds up one most surely builds up
+the others? All our powers are many members
+in one body, with an inter-dependence<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span>
+which is eternal. Slight your body, and you
+smite your soul and enervate the mind. Corrupt
+the mind, and you debase both body and
+soul. When will those who profess to be God’s
+children by the adoption of the Holy Ghost,
+catch the Spirit of His great Apostle Paul,
+who, more than any other sacred writer, maintained
+the sanctity of the human body and its
+subservience to the mind and soul. Hear him:
+“I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of
+God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
+holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
+reasonable service, and be not conformed to
+this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing
+of your minds, that ye may prove what is
+that good and acceptable and perfect will of
+God.” I admit the power of the Holy Ghost
+in the work of regeneration, but is there not
+something for us to do, in keeping our bodies
+under, “lest we become cast-aways?”
+I do not say that <i>all</i> human evils and ills
+have their primary origin in physical habits,
+but I do say that the great mass of impulsions
+from the excited, inflamed, over-stimulated
+body toward the soul, are in the interests of
+sin. The economy of salvation orders otherwise.
+By the Gospel the body may become
+the temple of the Holy Ghost. By the law of
+self-denial of the New Testament, our bodies,
+with all their fiery elements, may be made an
+inspiration to our souls. It is not the purpose
+of God that a life-time warfare shall be kept
+up between the body and the soul. There
+ought to come to every true Christian a day of
+final victory over his bodily powers, in which
+they will cease their rebellion, and come into
+the sweetest union with the soul in its great
+work of developing a likeness to Christ.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[Pg 29]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Why are we called upon to present the body
+a living sacrifice to God, if its powers are not
+to be sanctified to holy purposes? Why should
+we spend all our life waiting for the adoption
+of our whole nature, to wit, the redemption of
+the body, as well as the soul.</p>
+
+<p>Our fondest dreams for the progress of humanity
+must be based in a newly created body
+by strict obedience to the laws of God, written
+on every fibre, tissue, muscle, and bone. We
+cannot develop the human brain and heart to
+the possibilities that God has put in them,
+while they are the tenants of bodies the laws
+of which are violated in the commonest habits
+of every-day life.</p>
+
+<p>Regeneration does a mighty work for us;
+but generation has also much to do with our
+highest and best development. The sins of the
+fathers must cease, so that the sons may be
+spared their terrible visitations; the accumulated
+virtues of parents must roll over on their
+children in purer, stronger, and better bodies
+until by a blessed economy the whole race shall
+be exalted to heirship with Christ through
+loving obedience to all the laws of physical as
+well as moral life.</p>
+
+<p>Why may we not now, under the laws of
+redemption, begin to build a new heaven and a
+new earth, new souls and new bodies. If our
+souls are redeemed and renewed by obedience
+and faith, why not secure also the redemption
+of our bodies? I know it is slow work to
+teach the subtle but mighty elements of self-restraint.
+I know the flesh lusteth against the
+spirit. Yet I thank God who giveth us the
+victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.</p>

+<h2><a name="APPENDIX" id="APPENDIX">APPENDIX.</a></h2>
+
+
+<p>In complying with the request of Messrs. Fowler &amp; Wells
+for the manuscript of this sermon for publication, I should fall
+far short of my duty if I did not allude more particularly than
+seemed appropriate in a Sabbath sermon, to the valuable work
+which is being done by the Health Food Company, and to the
+great excellence of its products. If these remarks were addressed
+to physicians, the simple mention of the name of the
+company would suffice, because there are probably very few
+medical men and women who are not aware of the good work
+of this organization in the matter of providing perfect foods for
+invalids of every type, as well as for such as are in health
+and are solicitous thus to continue. The work of the company
+has, from the beginning, been under the wise direction of a scientific
+head, himself an original investigator, and having
+an ample acquaintance with all the truths which have been
+evolved by modern scientific research. While it is very important
+that physicians should know all that is to be known
+concerning improved forms of diet, in order that their large
+opportunities for conveying valuable information to the world
+may not go unused, I deem it of even greater moment that the
+vast body of intelligent readers and church-goers should be
+made aware of the fact that in the matter of food and its preparation
+there are laws which are not comprehended by ignorant
+cooks, which may not be violated with impunity, the
+scope and importance of which are being more perfectly understood
+from year to year, and which, in their practical application
+by intelligence and skill, are capable of accomplishing a grand
+work in the up-building and re-building of human bodies and
+brains. Especially am I desirous that my brethren in the ministry—many
+of whom, I am persuaded, suffer from unsupplied
+waste of brain and nerve power—should more fully appreciate
+the fact that while waste of the grosser tissues of the body may
+be supplied by common forms of food, such foods may nearly
+or quite fail to supply or replenish the waste of the delicate
+brain and nervous system; and should understand how the
+best foods for the active brain-worker can be procured.</p>
+
+<p>A dyspeptic myself, a member of a dyspeptic family, and
+observing much of that kind of misery and weakness which
+arises from digestive feebleness, I have been compelled to study
+the subject of food in its relation to bodily and mental and
+moral well-being, during many years; and it is not less a pleas<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span>ure
+than a duty to say that an intimate acquaintance with the
+researches of the Health Food Co. and its products, has convinced
+me that this organization is the center and source of the
+best information obtainable in any land, on the subject of dietetics;
+that the food which it prepares from many substances,
+especially from the cereal grains, are the best in the world;
+and that all who seek to live wisely and well, all who are strong
+and would continue so, all who are feeble and would fain be
+strong, all in whom the spirit to lead noble and useful lives is
+willing, but in whom the flesh, alas! is weak—owe it to themselves
+and to all whom they have power to influence, to learn
+all that can be learned concerning the great work of this company.
+In this brief Appendix it is not possible to allude, even
+remotely, to all its investigations in the domain of dietetics,
+nor to fully indicate the valuable results which it has achieved.
+I shall be justified, however, in referring to a few of its more
+prominent applications of scientific thought to the daily needs
+of humanity.</p>
+
+<p>It knew that the white commercial flour of wheat, by
+whatever “new process,” or under whatever brand, was a
+robbed, impoverished food, and that attached to the bran or
+husk—which is excluded as it should be—there is a layer of
+nitrogeneous substance which goes to the cows and horses.
+It deemed it a pity that human bodies and brains should be
+deprived of just what it most needed for perfect support—this
+wheat nitrogen, so rich in the useful minerals without which
+there is no adequate up-building of every tissue. So it devised
+a method of removing all the woody, branny, siliceous
+coats from the grain without wasting one atom of the nutriment.
+Seeing that ordinary mill-stone grinding tended to
+heat and impair the flour, it devised other and better methods
+of pulverizing. To-day, as for years past, their whole wheat
+flour is not a coarse, harsh, branny mixture, like what is called
+“Graham,” but a perfect, natural, nourishing bread-food, with
+nothing taken from it that is useful, and without the obnoxious
+addition of grit from rapidly revolving millstones, or the
+woody fibre and silex which form the protecting, innutritious
+shell. Thus the theories of the value of bread from the entire
+wheat berry, advanced by Dr. John C. Warren, of Boston, in
+1825, and subsequently urged by Dr. Sylvester Graham, were
+taken up by the head of the Health Food Company, sustained
+in part and exploded in part, while the small residue of truth
+really existing in the Grahamite philosophy, modified and improved
+by exact experiments and by scientific methods, has at
+length been made of real value to the human race instead of
+continuing to be a source of possible, and often of positive
+injury, by virtue of the errors originally attending it. The
+perfect, branless flour of the entire grain is called the <span class="smcap">Cold
+Blast Whole Wheat Flour</span>, and is, beyond question, the
+most perfect bread-food in the world.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[Pg 32]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Again, chemistry long ago proved that the nitrogenous, albuminous
+element of the great food staples (the cereal grains)
+known as <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>, was the chief source of muscular tissue in
+animals, whether obtained from grasses, seeds, or other vegetable
+substances; that it could be digested in a mixture of 1
+part gastric juice and 10 parts water; that it could be separated
+from its universal attendant, starch, by washing; and that a
+kind of tasteless, insipid bread could then be made from it,
+which was understood to be useful in a disease called diabetes.
+Up to a few years ago these facts comprised pretty much all
+that the scientific world knew about <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>. It was known
+to exist; Koopman, the German chemist, had shown it to be
+readily digestible; and it was non-convertible into sugar, and
+therefore a safe food for those to whom starch, or the sugar
+which results from digested starch, is little less than poison.
+These slender facts were not sufficient to satisfy the accurate
+investigator at the head of the Health Food Co. He deemed
+it probable that this easily digested <span class="smcap">Gluten</span>, this source of all
+the tissues of the ox except the fatty ones, would be found to
+be of vast value as a separate food for human beings, if while
+being practically isolated from the starch and bran associates
+which nature provides, it could still retain the pleasant grainy
+flavor of the cereal which supplies it. He began a series of
+investigations to determine the source of the agreeable flavor
+existing in sound wheat, and—as modified by milling and cooking—in
+commercial wheat flour and the foods prepared therefrom.
+The results of the researches of Prof. Henry B. Hill, of
+Harvard University, and of those contemporaneously conducted
+by Adolph Baeyer, of Munich, led him to conclude that to the
+oil known as “furfurol,” existing in the exterior bran
+and interior cellulose of the grain, the flour and bread chiefly
+owed their desirable flavors. The cellulose of the interior of
+the wheat was found to contain enough of the flavoring oil to
+impart to the insipid gluten an agreeable taste. Accordingly,
+methods were devised for separating the gluten and the cellulose
+from most of the starch, these three elements alone
+remaining after the bran coats were peeled off.</p>
+
+<p>This “whole wheat gluten,” as it is termed by the company,
+has proved a most valuable food, not only for the diabetic, to
+whom it seems to present the chief hope of recovery, but to
+the dyspeptic and feeble, whether in brain or body. Its use has
+been attended with such signally successful results as to attract
+the attention of large numbers of prominent medical men,
+among whom I may mention Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue
+Hospital Medical College, New York city, who passes upon it
+a warm encomium in his last great volume. [See Flint’s
+Clinical Medicine, pp. 452-53.]</p>
+
+<p>If I did not feel quite certain that the vast majority of those
+who shall peruse this paragraph would seek from the Health
+Food Company, or from some of its many agents in various<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</a></span>
+parts of the country, the very able and interesting pamphlets
+which it mails free to all applicants, I should deem it my duty
+to allude to other and not less valuable applications of scientific
+thought to the vast problems involved in the preparation
+of foods for humanity, from infancy to old age. To adequately
+describe them all, would require a volume; let me content myself
+with an allusion to one or two of the many.</p>
+
+<p>There is a digestive element existing in the saliva and in the
+fluid called the “pancreatic juice,” which bears the name of
+“diastase.” This diastase exists nowhere outside of the animal
+economy, except in seeds during the process of germination,
+or sprouting. When the seed, or cereal, or vegetable, is
+exposed to proper influences of moisture and warmth, such, for
+example, as are supplied by the earth in spring-time, the process
+of germination begins, and from the germ diastase is liberated.
+The function of the diastase thus set free is the conversion
+of the food elements in the seed into assimilative nutriment
+for the young and tender plant. It is the digestant of
+food, whether the thing fed be plant or animal. Now, while
+physiologists have long been ready to concede that when, as is
+common in diseased conditions, this important digestant is absent
+from the saliva and pancreatic juice, the conversion of
+all starchy foods is suspended, it has not been supposed that
+diastase has any marked influence upon the emulsification and
+digestion of food-substances not containing starch, nor had any
+food-chemist availed himself of the diastase in cereals, if I except
+the development and possible subsequent retention, to
+some extent, of diastase in some of the preparations of malt.
+The Health Food Company develops and employs the cereal
+diastase in a most effective way. It removes the germinal
+molecules from wheat and barley, reduces them to powder,
+forms the powder into a dough, encloses it in a steam-tight vessel
+and subjects the vessel and contents for a protracted period to
+a temperature of 150ºF. The latent diastase is thus brought into
+being, while the low temperature and the close vessel completely
+prevent its volatilization and loss. The diastatic dough
+is subsequently dried and powdered, and is then packed and
+labeled, ready for use, demanding no cooking, and no other
+preparation than simple moistening with milk or water. Used
+with milk it is found to prevent that tough and curdy coagulation
+which renders milk so oppressive, “bilious” and indigestible
+in many cases. The name given to this diastatic food
+which I have mentioned, is “The Universal Food,” a name
+suggested by a leading physician, who believed it to be universally
+applicable to enfeebled conditions in which better
+nourishment was needed. It is admirably adapted to the nourishment
+of infants, as diastase is almost entirely lacking during
+the first years of life, and may wisely be supplied from
+exterior sources.</p>
+
+<p>The Company’s great work for the multitude, however, is<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</a></span>
+in the preparation of wheat, oats, barley, rye, corn, peas,
+beans, and other seeds. These are perfectly cleansed from all
+impurities, the outer bran-coats, husks, and pellicles are removed,
+and the interior, soluble, digestible food-portion is
+admirably prepared for ready cooking. Persons who have a
+distaste for Graham and crushed wheat, and oat-meal and
+other cereals, find in the Fine Granulated Wheat, the Coarse
+Granulated Wheat, the Pearled Wheat, Pearled Oats, Granulated
+Oats, Granulated Barley, Rye, Corn, etc., manufactured
+by this Company, delicious foods, which, once adopted, are
+continued from choice.</p>
+
+<p>I leave this important subject with my readers, again urging
+them to seek to learn more concerning it. To be placed in
+possession of information which I do not assume to be competent
+to impart, it is only necessary that you address a postal
+card to the Health Food Company, No. 74 Fourth Ave., cor.
+10th street, New York, N.&nbsp;Y., asking for all its Health Food
+literature, and appending your address, and you will be quite
+certain to receive the entertaining pamphlets by due course of
+mail. The agents of the company, also, cordially respond to
+calls for circulars and orders for the Health Foods.</p>
+
+<hr class="tb" />
+
+<p>Let me ask my readers not to content themselves with sending
+for and perusing, however carefully, the instructive pamphlets
+of the Health Food Company. If you are sick you will
+do well to describe your condition by letter to the company,
+and its medical head will write you which of the foods are
+adapted to your case; you can then order a supply of such as
+he advises. If you are in good health and merely seek to supply
+yourself with delicate and nutritive substances which will
+have the effect to keep you strong and well, you will be able to
+select from their list, without special advice. Advice from the
+medical man of the organization costs nothing, however, and
+should be asked in all doubtful or diseased states. J.&nbsp;F.&nbsp;C.</p>

+
+<p>I should like to state to your Company the great success
+I have had in using your Gluten Suppositories, and the
+advisability of letting the medical profession generally know
+of this simple and efficacious remedy for constipation. I
+have prescribed these Suppositories almost daily in my practice
+this winter, and have often been astonished at the permanent
+results obtained. It seems that in great torpor of
+the rectum and descending colon it is especially useful.</p>
+
+<p>I recollect a little girl in 52nd street, where the constipation
+was so great that very often—much against my will—I
+was forced to administer a dose of Castor Oil. Since the use
+of these Gluten Suppositories she has remained well—over
+six months. It does not cure <i>all</i> cases, but in all the instances
+where patients have given it a good, fair trial, some benefit
+has been derived.</p>
+
+<p>You may utilize this endorsement if it will make this
+remedy more widely known among the profession.</p>

+
+<p><small>Is now in the twelfth year of its existence. Its valuable and
+important work has been recognized and commended by
+thousands of physicians, by many writers for the medical
+and general press, and by multitudes of the sick and suffering
+who have found health and comfort through its products.
+It has had many imitators, but it has conscientiously
+adhered to its original mission of preparing</small></p>
+
+
+<p class="center"><b>Perfect Foods for Sick and Well</b>.</p>
+
+<div class="small">
+<p>Basing its work upon exact science, and being presided
+over by a scientific man, it has gained the support and co-operation
+of the scientific world. A year or two since, a
+competitor in the manufacture of a single article, known as
+“Whole Wheat Flour,” secured the publication of an article
+from the pen of a Dr. Ephraim Cutter—styling himself “a
+microscopist”—in which he asserted his ability to determine
+the relative percentages of gluten and starch by the use of
+the microscope alone. He furthermore said that while the
+food-value of a bread-flour depended upon its percentage
+of gluten, the various flours of the Health Food Company
+contained no gluten whatever; and that the flour made by
+the “Franklin Mills” (Dr. Cutter’s employer) was so rich in
+gluten as to make it “a blessing to mankind.” These
+grossly absurd statements called forth some very scathing
+criticisms and much ridicule by the medical and secular
+press, and induced Prof. R. H. Thurston, of the Stevens
+Institute of Technology—who had derived benefit from the
+Health Foods—to invite his colleague, Prof. Albert N.
+Leeds, Public Analyst for the State of New Jersey and Professor
+of Chemistry in the Stevens Institute, to microscopically
+examine and chemically analyze the food substances
+alluded to, for the purpose of determining the accuracy or
+inaccuracy of Cutter’s statements, and, furthermore, to settle
+the question of the value of the “microscopic analysis,” for
+which so much had been claimed by Cutter. Prof. Leeds’
+careful work conclusively showed that the microscope was
+<i>valuable to detect adulterations</i>, but valueless as a means of
+determining the percentages of the various natural constituents
+of a cereal flour; so he proceeded to apply the crucial
+test of chemical analysis, with striking results. (In our limited
+<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span>space we can only briefly quote from the Professor’s
+published statement, but we are assured that he will cheerfully
+mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one who shall
+address him at the College named, situated in Hoboken,
+New Jersey.) Premising that wheat in its natural state contains,
+on the average, about 12 per cent. of albuminoids—chiefly
+gluten—he found in the Health Food Company’s
+Whole Wheat Flour 16.74 per cent. of this substance. Of
+the “Franklin Mills” flour, said to be made from “entire
+wheat,” he writes: “It contains 8.55 per cent. of albuminoids,
+chiefly gluten, together with a very large percentage
+of cellulose or finely-ground bran. It is greatly lacking in
+nutritive elements.”</p>
+<p>Prof. Leeds testifies that the Glutens prepared by the
+Health Food Company are richer in the gluten element
+than any which he has been able to obtain, whether of
+American or foreign origin, and more than twice as rich as
+a so-called gluten made by Farwell &amp; Rhines, of Rochester.
+He also finds by analysis that “Robinson’s Prepared Barley
+Flour” contains only 5.13 per cent. of albuminoids,
+while the Health Food Company’s barley flour, retailing for
+less than one-eighth as much, contains 13.83 per cent.,
+showing it to be nearly three times as rich in substantial
+nutriment. The flours and foods of the Health Food
+Company are nourishing in health and remedial in sickness.
+Their good work is in the improvement of the
+blood-making processes, in better digestion, in increased
+nutrition. It is their function to ably supplement all such
+remedial measures as skill and science may suggest. Many
+physicians have testified to the increased readiness of diseases
+to yield to their treatment when the patients have
+been sustained by the bland, soluble, non-irritating, nourishing
+nutriments prepared by the Health Food Company.
+Its products still stand at the head of the long list of food-preparations
+for infants and invalids, for the sick who seek
+to recover health and strength, for the strong who desire to
+remain strong. It has elevated food and its preparation to
+the dignity of a science, and has sought to render itself
+wholly worthy of the warm encomiums so ably pronounced
+by scholars, physicians, and scientists, conspicuous among
+whom stand the Rev. John F. Clymer and Prof. Austin Flint.</p>

+
+
+<p class="small">The author of this work is specially qualified for her task, as she is both
+a physician and a practical housekeeper. It is unquestionably the best
+work ever written on the healthful preparation of food, and should be in
+the hands of every housekeeper who wishes to prepare food healthfully and
+palatably. The best way and the reason why are given. It is complete in
+every department. To show something of what is thought of this work, we
+copy a few brief extracts from the many</p>
+
+
+<p class="center">NOTICES OF THE PRESS.</p>
+
+
+<div class="small">
+<p>“This work contains a good deal of excellent advice about wholesome food, and
+gives directions for preparing many dishes in a way that will make luxuries for the
+palate out of many simple productions of Nature which are now lost by a vicious cookery.”—<i>Home
+Journal.</i></p>
+
+<p>“Another book on cookery, and one that appears to be fully the equal in all respects,
+and superior to many of its predecessors. Simplicity is sought to be blended with
+science, economy with all the enjoyments of the table, and health and happiness with an
+ample household liberality. Every purse and every taste will find in Mrs. Dodds’ book,
+material within its means of grasp for efficient kitchen administration.”—<i>N.&nbsp;Y. Star.</i></p>
+
+<p>“The book can not fail to be of great value in every household to those who will intelligently
+appreciate the author’s stand-point. And there are but few who will not concede
+that it would be a public benefit if our people generally would become better informed
+as to the better mode of living than the author intends.”—<i>Scientific American.</i></p>
+
+<p>“She evidently knows what she is writing about, and her book is eminently practical
+upon every page. It is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and
+cake; it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”—<i>The

+
+
+<p>The most important question with all interested and
+intelligent housekeepers should be “What can I prepare
+for my table that will be <span class="smcap">Healthful</span> and <span class="smcap">Palatable</span>?” The world is full of Cook Books and Receipt
+Books, but in nearly every case not the slightest attention
+is given to the health and strength giving qualities
+of the dishes described, and a large part of the directions
+are useless (for never followed) and in many cases
+harmful (if tried).</p>
+
+<p>What is needed is a practical work in which these
+conditions are carefully considered and one which is
+simple enough to be easily understood.</p>
+
+<p>A recent publication, <span class="smcap">Health in the Household</span>,
+by Dr. S. W. Dodd, a lady physician and a practical
+housekeeper, covers this ground very fully and can be
+recommended. It considers the value of the different
+food products, the best methods of preparation, and the
+reason why.</p>
+
+<p><small>The Chicago <i>Inter-Ocean</i> says: “She evidently knows what she is
+writing about, and her book is eminently practical upon every page. It
+is more than a book of recipes for making soups, and pies, and cakes;
+it is an educator of how to make the home the abode of healthful people.”</small></p>
+
+<p><small>“She sets forth the why and wherefore of cookery, and devotes
+the larger portion of the work to those articles essential to good blood,
+strong bodies, and vigorous minds,” says <i>The New Haven Register</i>.</small></p>

+<p>Housekeepers who consult this will be able to provide
+for the household that which will positively please and
+increase the happiness by increasing the healthful conditions.</p>

+<div class="small">
+<p><span class="smcap">J. Russ</span>, Jr., Haverhill, Mass., says: “Dr. Page’s explanation of the colds
+question is alone worth the price of a hundred copies of the book—it is, in fact, invaluable,
+going to the very root of the question of sickness.”
+Mrs. <span class="smcap">W. O. Thompson</span>, 71 Irving Place, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y., says: “I wish every
+friend I have could read it, and, only that hygienists never harbor ill-feeling, that
+my enemies might not chance to find it. I owe much to the truths made clear in
+‘Natural Cure,’ and it is certain that to it and the professional attendance of the
+author, my sister-in-law owes her life and present robust health.”</p>
+
+<p class="center">FROM A TEACHER.</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. <span class="smcap">S. S. Gage</span>, teacher in the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y., says: “My
+friend, Mrs. Thompson, recommended this book (‘Natural Cure’) to me. Thanks
+to her and ‘the book,’ my old headaches trouble me no more; I am better in every
+way. I never could accomplish so much and with so little fatigue; and I am sure
+that all my intellectual work is of better quality than it ever was before.”</p>
+
+<p class="center">FROM A HUSBAND.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">D. Thompson</span>, Lee, N. H., says: “Through following the advice in ‘Natural
+Cure’ my headaches, which have tortured me at frequent intervals for forty years,
+return no more. Formerly I could not work for three days at a time, now I work
+right along. For this, as well as for the restoration of my wife to health, after we
+had given her up as fatally sick, I have to thank Dr. Page and ‘The Natural Cure.’”</p>
+
+<p class="center">FROM THE WIFE.</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. <span class="smcap">S. E. D. Thompson</span>, Lee, N. H. says: “I can not well express my gratitude
+for the benefit I have received from the book and its author’s personal counsel.
+Condemned to die, I am now well. It is truly wonderful how the power of
+resting is increased under the influence of the regimen prescribed. I have distributed
+many copies of this book, and have known of a <i>life-long asthmatic cured,
+biliousness removed, perennial hay-fever banished</i> for good, and other wonderful
+changes wrought, by means of the regimen formulated in ‘Natural Cure.’ A
+friend remarked: ‘It is full of encouragement for those who wish to live in clean
+bodies.’ Another said: ‘It has proved to me that I have been committing slow
+suicide.’ Our minister says: ‘I have modified my diet and feel like a new man.’”
+To this Mrs. Thompson adds, for the author’s first book, “<span class="smcap">How to Feed the
+Baby</span>”: “I have known of a number of babes changed from colicky, fretful children
+to happy well ones, making them a delight to their parents, by following its
+advice.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">William C. Langley</span>, Newport, R. I., says: “While all would be benefited from
+reading it, I would especially commend it to those who, from inherited feebleness,
+or, like myself, had declined deeply, feel the need of making the most of their limited
+powers. I may add, that this work bears evidence that the author has had
+wide range, and extensive reading, together with a natural fitness for physiological
+and hygienic research, keen perception of natural law and tact in its application.”</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. Dr. <span class="smcap">Densmore</span>, 130 West 44th Street, New York, says: “You can judge of
+my opinion of ‘Natural Cure’ when I tell you that I am buying it of the publishers
+by the dozen to distribute among my patients.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Popular Science Monthly</span> for September, 1883, speaks highly of the work,
+closing with, “the public has in this work a most valuable manual of hygiene.”</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Atlantic Monthly</span> for August, 1883, says: “It is an effort at impressing

+
+<p>We have recently published a volume
+containing a story of Human
+Nature which will be found of interest.
+It is called “The <span class="smcap">Man Wonderful</span>
+in the <span class="smcap">House Beautiful</span>,” and is an allegory, teaching the
+principles of Physiology and Hygiene,
+and the effects of Stimulants
+and Narcotics. The House is the
+Body, in which the Foundations are
+the Bones, the Walls are Muscles,
+the Skin and Hair the Siding and
+Shingles, the head an Observatory
+in which are found a pair of Telescopes,
+and radiating from it are the nerves which are compared
+to a Telegraph, while communications are kept up with the
+Kitchen, Dining-room, Pantry, Laundry, etc. The House is
+heated with a Furnace. There are also Mysterious Chambers,
+and the whole is protected by a Burglar Alarm. In studying the
+inhabitant of the House, the “Man Wonderful,” we learn of his
+growth, development, and habits of the guests whom he introduces.
+He finds that some of them are friends, others are
+doubtful acquaintances, and some decidedly wicked. Under this
+form, we ascertain the effects of Food and Drink, Narcotics and
+Stimulants.</p>
+
+<p>It is a wonderful book, and placed in the hands of children
+will lead them to the study of Physiology and Hygiene, and the
+Laws of Life and Health in a way that will never be forgotten.
+The book will prove of great interest even to adults and those
+familiar with the subject. The authors, Drs. C. B. and Mary A.
+Allen, are both regular physicians, and therefore the work is accurate
+and on a scientific basis. “Science in Story” has never
+been presented in a more attractive form. It is universally admitted
+that a large proportion of sickness comes from violations
+of the laws of Life and Health, and therefore it is important that
+this subject should be understood by all, as in this way we may
+become familiar with all the avoidable causes of disease. The
+reading of this book will very largely accomplish this end. It
+will be sent securely by mail, prepaid, on receipt of price, which is
+only $1.50. Address</p>

+<p>OR, MENTAL SCIENCE CONSIDERED IN

+MODERN PHILOSOPHY.</p>
+
+<p>By H. S. Drayton, A.M., M.D., and James

+Hundred Portraits and Diagrams. $1.50.</p>
+
+
+<p>The authors state in their preface: “In preparing
+this volume it has been the aim to
+meet an existing want, viz; that of a treatise
+which not only gives the reader a complete
+view of the system of mental science known
+as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to
+Anatomy and Physiology, as those sciences are

+
+<p class="center"><big>Notices of the Press</big>.</p>
+
+<p>Phrenology is no longer a thing laughed
+at. The scientific researches of the
+last twenty years have demonstrated
+the fearful and wonderful complication
+of matter, not only with mind, but with
+what we call moral qualities. Thereby,
+we believe, the divine origin of “our
+frame” has been newly illustrated, and
+the Scriptural psychology confirmed:
+and in the Phrenological Chart we are
+disposed to find a species of “urim and
+thummim,” revealing, if not the Creator’s
+will concerning us, at least His
+revelation of essential character. One
+thing is certain, that the discoveries
+of physical science must ere long force
+all men to the single alternative of Calvinism
+or Atheism. When they see
+that God has written himself sovereign,
+absolute, and predestinating, on the
+records of His creation, they will be
+ready to find His writing as clearly in
+the Word; and the analogical argument,
+meeting the difficulties and the
+objections on the side of Faith by those
+admitted as existing on the side of
+Sight, will avail as well in one case as
+in the other. We will only add, the
+above work is, without doubt, the best
+popular presentation of the science
+which has yet been made. It confines
+itself strictly to facts, and is not written
+in the interest of any pet “theory.” It is made very interesting by its
+copious illustrations, pictorial and narrative,
+and the whole is brought down
+to the latest information on this curious
+and suggestive department of
+knowledge.—<i>Christian Intelligencer.</i></p>
+
+<p>As far as a comprehensive view of the
+teachings of Combe can be embodied
+into a system that the popular mind
+can understand, this book is as satisfactory
+an exposition of its kind as has
+yet been published. The definitions are
+clear, exhaustive, and spirited.—<i>Philadelphia
+Enquirer.</i></p>
+
+<p>In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, abounds with
+valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms, and the work constitutes
+by far the best Text-book on Phrenology published, and is adapted to both private
+and class study.</p>
+
+<p>The illustrations of the Special Organs and Faculties are for the most part
+from portraits of men and women whose characters are known, and great pains
+have been taken to exemplify with accuracy the significance of the text in each
+case. For the student of human nature and character the work is of the highest
+value.</p>

+<p>If you want something to read that will interest you more thoroughly than
+any book you have ever read, send for a copy of <span class="smcap">Heads and Faces</span>, a new Manual
+of Character Reading for the people. It will show you how to read people as
+you would a book, and see if they are inclined to be good, upright, honest, true,
+kind, charitable, loving, joyous, happy and trustworthy people, such as you would
+like to know; or are they by nature untrustworthy, treacherous and cruel, uncharitable
+and hard-hearted, fault-finding, jealous, domineering people whom you
+would not want to have intimate with yourselves or your families.</p>
+
+<p>A knowledge of Human-Nature will enable you to judge of all this at sight,
+and to choose for yourselves and children such companions as will tend to make
+you and them better, purer, more noble and ambitious to do and to be right, and
+would save many disappointments in social and business relations. It will aid in
+choosing and governing servants, training children, and deciding whom to trust
+in all the affairs of life. If you would know people without waiting to become
+acquainted with them, read <span class="smcap">Head and Faces</span> and How to Study Them, a new

+office of Fowler &amp; Wells Co., New York, and H. S. Drayton, M. D., Editor

+about, Prof. Sizer having devoted more than forty years almost exclusively to
+the reading of character and he here lays down the rules employed by him in his

+600 pages, extra cloth or oil-cloth binding, price $2.00.</p>
+
+<p>Undoubtedly the very best work on the
+preparation of food in a healthful manner
+ever published, and one that should be in
+the hands of all who would furnish their
+tables with food that is wholesome and at
+the same time palatable, and will contribute
+much toward <b>Health in the Household</b>.</p>

+“Colds” (Fevers), Etc. How Sickness Originates and How to Prevent it.
+A health Manual for the People. By C. E. Page. 278 pp., ex. cloth, $1.00.</p>
+
+<p>A new work with new ideas, both radical
+and reasonable, appealing to the common-sense
+of the reader. This is not a new work
+with old thoughts simply restated, but the
+most original Health Manual published in
+many years. It is written in the author’s
+clear, attractive manner, and should be in

+of the doctors.</p>

+<p>For the Prevalent Disorders of the Human Organism, by Felix L. Oswald,
+M.D. 12mo, extra cloth, Price $1.00.</p>
+
+<p>The reader may be sure of this, he is no
+agent for a drug store. The doctor is a high
+apostle gospel of hygiene, and gives the
+mild blue pill and other alteratives fits at
+every opportunity, and often forces the opportunity
+to launch a broadside into the old
+favorite of the profession. Nature is a great
+healer and the great merit of the book is that
+it demands for nature and the human organization
+a fair show.—“McGregor News.”</p>

+
+<p>We have here a new work on Hygiene
+containing the results of the author’s experience
+for many years in the treatment of
+acute and chronic diseases with Hygienic
+agencies, and it will save an incalculable
+amount of pain and suffering, as well as
+doctors’ bills, in every family where its
+simple directions are followed.</p>

+
+<p>The latest and best work on the subject.
+With fifty illustrations showing with all
+possible fullness every process of digestion,
+and giving all the causes, and directions for
+treatment of Dyspepsia. The author gives
+the summary of the data which he collected
+during an extensive practice of more than
+twenty-five years, largely with patients
+who were suffering from diseases caused by
+Dyspepsia and an impaired Digestion.</p>

+<p>The great experience and ability of the

+which mothers need so often all through

+giving us an “<span class="smcap">Enlightened Motherhood</span>.” The work should be read by every wife and

+of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE

+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm

+1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this
+agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the
+Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
+of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual
+works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
+States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
+United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
+claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
+displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
+all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
+that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting
+free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm
+works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
+Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily
+comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
+same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when
+you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
+in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
+check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
+agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
+distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
+other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no
+representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
+country outside the United States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
+immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear
+prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work
+on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed,
+performed, viewed, copied or distributed:
+
+  This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and
+  most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no
+  restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it
+  under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this
+  eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the
+  United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you
+  are located before using this ebook.
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is
+derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
+contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
+copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
+the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
+redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply

+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
+additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
+will be linked to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works
+posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
+beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without

+to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
+of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain
+Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the
+full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+provided that
+

+  the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+  you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
+  to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has
+  agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
+  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
+  within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
+  legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
+  payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
+  Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
+  Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
+  Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+  you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+  does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+  License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
+  copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
+  all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm
+  works.
+
+* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

+

+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project

+from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and The
+Project Gutenberg Trademark LLC, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
+Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
+contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
+or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
+other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
+cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE

+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
+with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
+with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
+lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
+or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
+opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
+the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
+without further opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO

+

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
+damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
+violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the

+limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or

+remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
+accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the

+electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
+including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
+the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
+or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
+additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
+Defect you cause.
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the
+mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
