We cannot use space foolishly, if we show plainly why pork should be abandoned. Did you ever stop to think on what most _swine_ live? _Swill_ is the most common term for it. Anything and everything that is the refuse of a boarding-house will they eagerly devour. Give them _rotten_ apples and potatoes, full of innumerable microbes, and they will relish the repast. Place them in a dung heap--they will root, and eat much of what they find. Now all meat, all flesh and tissue, is made from what an animal or person eats--if he doesn't eat he grows thin and starves. Then the hog's flesh is made from elements derived from swill, decayed substances, and everything either cooked, uncooked, or even digested, that man is through with or has cast off. You who eat pork relish that which once you have refused to eat--only in another form. Can you enjoy this meat when you consider all this? Surely its use means bad health and contamination. Skin diseases and _poor complexions_ are found almost entirely among those who live on these improper foods. Again, even if you feed swine on clean corn, milk, and water, we ascertain by careful experiment and examination that pork is most susceptible to bacteria of almost any meat. Better boycott it altogether. _Leprosy_ and skin troubles are found largely among pork-eating people--such as the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands, where there are 749 lepers. On the other hand, Jews, who everywhere are marked with clear skins, avoid pork. In Constantinople there are 250 lepers, in Crete upwards of 3,000, and quantities in the islands of eastern Mediterranean Sea, and 1,000 in Norway. These places are all characterized by the great amount of pork, and duck too, that they consume. Other things not good for _invalids_, and will make strong persons invalids, are: Fried potatoes, hot cakes, warm bread, pound cake, green cucumbers, and rich pie-crust. Eat only those things that will excite the salivary glands to assist digestion. The walls, not the center of the alimentary canal, need attention. Have your _soup cool_ enough so that it will not cause tears in your eyes when you swallow--same with your coffee, tea, and other warm drinks; take no _ice drinks_; if you are used to having water only with your meals, drink it warm with sugar and milk, and _not hot_. If you are obliged to live in a second-class boarding-house or restaurant, and are obliged to take one of three meals each day at such a place, insist on having a _napkin_. Use it first to wipe your glass for water, then follow by polishing every utensil set before you for use at your meal. If note is taken of the napkin before and after each meal, you will be able by a mathematical calculation to tell just how much _real estate_ did not belong to you.
