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
