[2] This is very strong evidence that appetite knows what to do and when to do it, if you study and consult it and give it a chance to prescribe. [3] The Yale test reported herein by Professor Chittenden showed the possibility of full alimentation according to the requirements of Economic Nutrition in from 24 to 26 minutes daily, which is less than 1∕48 of a day. Beginners of the practice of careful mouth-treatment of their food _may_ require more time, but, whatever it may be, it is worth it. A little care for a short period will establish a right habit, and then no further tedious attention nor unusual time will be necessary to accomplish a perfectly healthy nutrition.

[6] The author is not yet permitted to publish the particulars of these reforms in process, but he has official information regarding them and is in full sympathy with them. [7] Dental surgeons now speak of the upper jaw as the maxilla, and of the lower jaw as the mandible. [8] This subject I am obliged to deal with very briefly, and am compelled to omit the reasons for my conclusions. [9] Recent observations go to show that man possesses no power of digesting cellulose, though this substance is to a limited extent capable of solution by the agency of bacteria in the lower portions of his alimentary canal. [10] I am under great obligation to Miss Eva Dunn, who has collected valuable information for me on this and kindred subjects. [11] Social History of the Races of Mankind, 1881. [12] S.

[22] Gilbert Barling also traces the relationship between appendicitis and diet. “In a considerable number of cases,” he writes, “the attack of appendicitis can be directly attributed to unsuitable food--pork, mackerel, over-ripe or under-ripe fruit, uncooked vegetables” (Brit. Med. Jour., vol. i., 1903, p. 61). [23] My friend, Dr. Thompson, undertook, at my suggestion, some experiments to test the digestibility of raw starch within the mouth; he found that raw potato yields abundant sugar when subjected to long-continued mastication.
