,certainly  everything stands related to
 morals2 and all men1 women1 and        
children  should be made to see and feel
 this4    ,i suppose ,i am considered an
 old-fashioned preacher4 ,i believe in  
8original sin10 and ,i believe in a     
great deal of sin that is not  original4
 ,i believe that every man is so corrupt
 that he can never be  made pure without
 supernatural influence2 and ,i believe 
that he must  take advantage1 at the    
same time1 of all the natural helps4    
,even the  grace of our ,lord ,jesus    
,christ cannot make the saint who is in 
the  flesh1 feel alert and happy1 so    
long as he has any serious obstruction  
of the biliary duct4 ,when ,i was a     
younger pastor in a ,southern city1 ,i  
was called by a mother to see her       
daughter1 a girl of eighteen1 who was   
in a dreadful way1 inconsolably laboring
 under the oppressive feeling  that     
there was no mercy for her4 ,i          

prescribed for her torpid liver as  my  
knowledge of the healing art enabled me 
to do1 promising to call  again soon4   
,when ,i did call1 the young lady was   
relieved1 and ,i was  able to secure her
 attention to the comfortable truths of 
our most  holy faith4 ,it is first the  
natural1 and then the spiritual2 ,st4   
,paul1  #a ,cor4 xv4 #df3 8,howbeit that
 was not first which is spiritual1 but  
that which is natural2 and afterward    
that which is spiritual40 ,we must      
always feel our dependence on the spirit
 of ,god for our regeneration  and      
sanctification1 but not in such a way as
 to make fools of us4 ,the  man whose   
faith in the supernatural makes him     
depreciate the natural1  has no more    
sense than he whose faith in the natural
 utterly excludes  super-nature4    ,i

8,if a man have a stubborn and          
rebellious son1 which will not obey the 
voice of his father or the voice of his 
mother1 and that when they   have       
chastened him1 will not hearken unto    
them1 then shall his father   and his   

mother lay hold on him1 and bring him   
out unto the elders of   his city1 and  
unto the gates of his place2 and they   
shall say unto the   elders of his city3
 ,this our son is stubborn and          
rebellious2 he will   not obey our      
voice2 he is a glutton and a            
drunkard40--,,deut4 xxi4 #ah-bj4        
,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  life4 ,because it is 
written 8,the imaginations of the       
thoughts of the  natural heart1 are only
 evil continually10 total depravity has 
been  fixed on the spirit nature of man2
 that is1 all the bad or immoral        
elements entering into human life have  
been attributed to the innate  or inborn
 ugliness of the soul4 ,accepting the   
,scriptural truth that  8the soul that  
sinneth1 it shall die10 we have come to 
think that sin  has its center1 seat1   
source and circumference in the soul1 or
  the immaterial nature of man4 ,hence  

we readily admit the fact that          
influences1 good or bad1 may pass over  
from the soul to the body1 but  we do   
not so readily admit that other fact1   
equally true1 that  influence good or   
bad may go over from the body to the    
soul4 ,the road  over which vicious     
thoughts and lustful imaginations pass  
from the soul  to the body is the       
highway over which unbridled appetites1 
unrestrained  passions and unsubdued    
lusts in the body may go to the soul1   
goading  it to the wildest conceptions  
of vice and lecherous imaginations4 ,the
  warm rays of the sun may gender       
rottenness in the muddy pool2 so also   
will the effluvia from the pool poison  
the sunlight near it4 ,the soul  by its 
vicious thoughts and imaginations will  
entail an immoral tone on  the body2 so 
also will the body react on the soul1 by
 its appetites1  passions and           
propensities1 increasing the viciousness
 of the soul by  pushing it to courses  
of vice not directly and immediately its

 own4 ,in  our text is found an         
illustration of this thought4 ,a father 
and mother  bring their stubborn and    
rebellious son to the elders of the     
,jewish  church4 ,they assign1 as the   
cause of his stubbornness and rebellion1
  gluttony and drunkenness1 than which  
there are no vices that demoralize  the 
body more1 or goad the soul to greater  
crimes4 ,hear it3    8,this our son is  
stubborn and rebellious1 he will not    
obey our voice1  he is a glutton and a  
drunkard40 ,that is1 bad conditions of  
the physical  nature1 wrought by        
gluttony and drunkenness1 have made him 
stubborn and  rebellious4 ,it will not  
help the case to say that his           
stubbornness and  rebellion caused his  
gluttony and drunkenness1 for if they   
did1 then  his soul must act on the     
body4 ,his morals must influence his    
manners1  and therefore his manners must
 reflect on his morals2 they must       
interact1 which is just the point we    
make2 that his appetite and lust  fire  

the temperament or disposition1 and a   
fiery disposition provokes  appetite and
 lust to wilder indulgences4    ,a      
remarkable fact1 in this day of advanced
 science and revelation1 is  that       
,christians and moralists in their work 
of reform have paid so  little attention
 to the influence of the body on the    
soul4 ,jesus ,christ  more than any     
other teacher or reformer recognized the
 demoralizing  and debasing influence of
 bad bodily conditions4 ,hence he almost
  always healed maladies of the body    
before he entered his principles  upon  
the soul4 ,it is true that his many     
miracles on the bodies of men  were     
primarily intended to reveal his        
divinity2 yet divinity in its           
manifestations always runs over the     
whole line of the natural before        
passing into the supernatural2 therefore
 ,christ's miracles on the  bodies of   
men had a sanitary side to them4 ,the   
man with the leprosy was  in the poorest
 condition bodily to hear favorably any 

talk about moral  sweetness2 hence      
,christ healed his diseased body1 in    
connection with  his moral teachings4   
,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 day4               
,philanthropists and ,christians for the
 most part  have overlooked the power of
 a debased body on the soul4 ,they      
forget  that ,paul likens a body that   
has sinful habitudes to a thing of      
death1  as compared with the soul that  
seeks to live the new life in ,christ   
,jesus4 ,therefore good men have labored
 to create in themselves and  those whom
 they seek to reform1 certain emotional 
conditions of the  spirit1 by a         
tenacious adherence to creeds1 or the   
patient performance  of a set round of  
religious duties1 and all this          
regardless of bad  physical conditions  
begotten by bad habits of eating and    
drinking4  ,while they have been        
struggling to bring their own souls and 

the souls  of others into holy          
attitudes1 all the basilar forces of the
 body have  run riot within1 and perhaps
 beyond1 the pale of human customs and  
human laws4 ,if you want to empty a     
boiler of steam1 it will not help  you  
much by lifting the safety valve if you 
still keep water in the  boiler and fire
 in the furnace4 ,prayer1 ,bible reading
 and ,psalm singing  will not help a man
 much to get rid of his sins1 if he     
keeps up a set  of bodily habits which  
fire the body and inflame the soul to   
continue  its sinning4 ,that you may see
 the connection more clearly between    
vice and victuals1 let me show you how  
food may damage our bodies and          
demoralize our souls4    ,i am fully    
aware of the difficulties ,i encounter  
in entering this  thought on your minds4
 ,because religion has been considered  
as having  little or nothing to do with 
the body1 ,i shall encounter the settled
  opinions of good men to this effect4  
,because our popular methods of  eating 

have the sanction of custom and the     
defense of long established  habits1 ,i 
may not criticise them without losing   
the favor of those who  are content with
 things as they are4 ,because ,i shall  
call in question  many indulgences of   
appetite hitherto considered sinless1 ,i
 shall run  the risk of being called a  
fanatic or fool4 ,because ,i shall      
preach the  ,new ,testament doctrine of 
self-denial many will say this is a hard
  saying--8who can bear it80 ,but with  
the hope that ,i may unfold to you a    
glorious realm of liberty from the      
bondage of bodily propensities1 ,i      
cheerfully do my duty and leave the     
consequences for ,god to look after4    
,very few of us are aware of the great  
physical demoralization and  spiritual  
wickedness1 brought on us and our       
children1 by bad habits of  eating1 as  
to the kind of food1 the mode of its    
preparation1 and the  manner and times  
of taking it4 ,we refuse to think of our
 indulgences  of appetite as the cause  

of our physical ailments and premature  
death1  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  
destiny4    ,and yet ,i aver1 without   
the fear of successful refutation1 that 
three-fourths of all our bodily ailments
 or diseases1 and many of our  immoral  
acts1 are the legitimate results of     
improper dietetic habits4  ,if these    
habits do not effect us directly1 they  
do so indirectly by  lowering the tone  
of the whole system1 physical and moral1
 causing us  to break down prematurely  
into some disease or deviltry1 under the
  pressure of legitimate toil or immoral
 provocation4 ,how is it possible  to   
account for the death of one half the   
human family before five years  of age1 
unless we trace it to the violation of  
physical laws in some  way connected    
with the eating habits alike of parent  
and child8 ,many  children enter the    

world with such a low state of inherited
 physical  vitality1 and so little moral
 tone1 that they are unable to resist   
the attacks of bodily disease or throw  
it off when on them1 and much  less able
 to throw off moral disease and rise    
above their immoral  heritage if spared 
to pass through childhood to years of   
maturity4 ,such  children not only carry
 in their little bodies the physical    
weaknesses  of their parents1 but also  
the specific immoral tendencies found in
  the conditions of their parentage4    
,and more than this1 should their       
endowment of vitality be sufficient to  
carry them over the death line  for     
infants1 they are subject to such       
unnatural relations to dress and  diet  
that it becomes a natural impossibility 
for them to live4 ,in this  way many    
children die prematurely1 not by the    
arbitrary edict of ,god1  but by the    
violation of law4 ,and if ,god should   
save their lives by  special suspension 
of his laws1 more damage would be done  

to the moral  harmony of the universe   
than to let them die4 ,i know it is a   
common  custom to ascribe all sickness  
and death to the direct and arbitrary   
action of ,divine ,providence4 ,that is1
 if one overeats1 or eats  innutritious 
food1 or at improper times1 making      
himself sickly1 so that  he becomes an  
easy prey to disease1 and dies suddenly 
or at the noon  tide of life1 all the   
good people say--8,what a strange       
,providence60 ,as  if ,god had          
everything to do with such a death1 and 
the deceased had  little or nothing to  
do with it4 ,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 violated4 ,the primary    
cause of all premature deaths is        
violated law4 ,god does not arbitrarily 
kill anybody4 ,most of those who die in 
infancy or in early life1 come  to death
 by the violation of ,god's laws written
 in their bodies4 ,if  these laws were  

obeyed in us and in our ancestry1 most  
of us ought to  live beyond three score 
years and ten1 and drop from this life  
into  the other in a ripe1 mellow old   
age1 just as ripe fruit drops from its  
bough in autumn time4 ,but you ask where
 is ,god in the many untimely  deaths   
that occur8 ,i answer ,he is present in 
his great hearted goodness  to help the 
dying to an eternal victory over death1 
if they will only  let ,him4 ,he is     
present to bind up the hearts that are  
breaking with  sorrow for the departed1 
and to make a sudden1 untimely1 and     
needless  death a monument of warning to
 those still living1 thus making the    
wrath of man to praise ,him4 ,if        
therefore our children die in infancy1  
because we have entailed on them feeble 
bodies by our violation of law1  ,god   
does not kill them1 but they die through
 violated law1 and he in  ,his goodness 
takes the little ones to ,his bosom1 the
 seat and source of  all law4 ,let us   
not then charge our sorrows to the      

willful enactment  of our ,heavenly     
,father4 ,he taketh no pleasure in the  
death of him that  dieth4 ,when he gives
 life to us1 ,he intends that we shall  
keep it as  long as possible4    ,having
 given us life1 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 grain4 ,the ,god of nature and  
the ,god of grace  are not in           
antagonism4 8,the one ,god is in all and
 over all40 ,a kingdom  divided against 
itself cannot stand4 ,if1 therefore1 we 
die this side  of three score years and 
ten--seventy years--we die untimely4 ,it
 is high  time that good men were awake 
to this fact1 and ceased charging over  
to ,divine ,providence what legitimately
 belongs to ourselves4 8,jesus  ,christ 
came to destroy him that hath the power 
of death1 that is the  devil20 and when 
the philosophy of ,jesus is wrought up  
into human lives  by obedience to       
physical laws1 the power of disease and 

death over  our bodies will be very much
 broken4 ,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 ordains4 ,that is1 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 bodies1  as the        
ripening chestnuts break their burrs    
under the frosts of autumn4  ,we have1  
therefore1 no right to ascribe to       
supernatural agency any  phenomena which
 can be explained on natural principles4
 ,disobedience  to law brings penalties4
 ,there is nothing that men need to see 
more in  their efforts at reform than   
the connection between their sufferings 
and their disobedience4 ,now1           
disobedience to the laws of life brings 
the penalties1 sickness and premature   
death4 ,there is no field where  our    

disobedience manifests itself more      
frequently and with so little  thought  
of consequences1 as in our false and    
unnatural habits of eating  and         
drinking1 which damage the body and     
demoralize the soul4    8,the ,blood is 
the ,life40 ,this is the declaration    
alike of revelation and  of science4    
,evolutionary processes may induce a    
variation in the form  or number of the 
blood corpuscles1 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 alone4 ,the physical1 mental and  
moral natures are so intimately         
connected that that which affects one1  
affects the others4 ,so that a man's    
mental and moral nature1 as well  as his
 physical1 can very largely be          
determined by the quality of his  blood4
 ,now it is a physiological fact that   
our blood is made out of  the food we   
eat4 ,that food which enters the mouth  
and is assimilated1  makes blood4 ,by   

the marvelous processes of digestion and
 assimilation  our food is transformed  
into blood2 and the blood passing       
through the  veins and arteries repairs 
the waste tissues and forms new ones1   
thus  building up our bodies and        
sustaining life4 ,it follows then that  
our  bodies are made of the food we eat4
 ,evidently it was the design of  our   
,creator that the prime object of eating
 should be the building up  of          
tissue--muscles1 bones and brains4 ,that
 this may be a pleasure to  us1 ,he has 
associated with eating the delights of  
appetite4 ,but most  of us have so far  
perverted the divine order as to make   
the pleasures  of appetite the chief    
object of eating4 8,give us something   
good to  eat10 is the great cry of      
humanity1 and the goodness of food is   
gauged  by the sensations of the palate 
and not by the law of nutrition4 ,most  
of us determine the goodness of our food
 by the amount of sensual  delight it   
imparts to the palate1 no matter how    

much damage it may  do beyond to the    
delicate and intricate structure of the 
stomach and  viscera4 ,hence a vast     
amount of food enters the mouth that    
makes bad  blood1 blood that in itself  
is corrupt1 and carries poisonous       
particles  to every organ in the system1
 putting us in splendid condition to be 
easily provoked to some outburst of     
anger1 passion or revenge4 ,my  hearers1
 there is a sure and vital connection   
between bad blood and  bad morals4      
,blood always tells in morals as well as
 in muscles4 ,blood  has power          
throughout the whole realm of life1     
whether it be in a human  body1 in      
society1 or in the body of a horse on   
the racecourse4    ,you ask1 what kind  
of food makes bad blood8 ,i answer1 very
 much of the  flesh of animals1 that    
forms the staple diet of most of us4    
,sty-fed  pigs and stall-fed oxen are   
fattened under the most unlawful and    
unhealthful conditions possible2 shut up
 in the dark1 cut off from  exercise1   

the fat deposited on their bodies is    
made up of the waste  matter that the   
life-forces of the animal have been     
unable to expel4  ,this waste fatty     
matter1 surcharged with unexpelled      
excretions1 is  liable to induce disease
 in all who consume it4 ,it has         
established  tuberculosis in captive    
lions1 and in cats and dogs1 and in     
other  carnivora2 and it were folly to  
assume that mankind1 feeding upon  such 
poisonous food1 should wholly escape4   
,even in the living animal  this effete 
unexpelled poisonous waste breeds       
vermin1 such as have  been found in     
pork1 which cannot be destroyed by      
ordinary cooking or  by the process of  
digestion1 and hence live and generate  
in the human  body1 producing disease   
and death4 ,i am not now making a plea  
for the  absolute disuse of animal food1
 but against the bad quality of very    
much of it1 and also against the        
inordinate use of that which may be     
good in quality4 ,a certain amount of   

animal food is useful for our           
nourishment1 especially in winter time1 
because of its heat producing           
qualities4 ,but meat every day1 and at  
every meal1 is in no way  necessary for 
the proper sustenance of the human      
system4    ,the use of large quantities 
of animal food1 however free from       
disease-germs1 as a staple article of   
diet makes the blood gross1  coarse and 
corrupt1 filling the body with          
scrofulous elements1 sending  poison to 
every part of the system1 causing it to 
break out in running  sores1 salt-rheum1
 tetter and the like1 producing an      
inordinate  appetite1 throwing every    
organ of the body into frictional       
relations  to every other organ4 ,it is 
a matter of every-day surprise to me    
that any human being will consent to eat
 the flesh of pigs4 ,consider  their    
uncleanness1 their selfish1 greedy      
habits1 the vast amount of  corruption  
that enters into their bodies1 their    
want of exercise1  their impure         

breathing1 their lack of sudorific      
glands or emunctories1  through which   
effete tissues and morbid accumulations 
may be expelled2  and think1 when you   
eat pork1 of the train of horrid        
elements which  enter into your body4   
,and your body thus debased by a low    
order of  animal flesh1 the effect must 
be to make you take on the disposition  
and tendencies of the hog4 ,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 scales4 
,this bill of fare was  given to the    
,jews not only for the preservation of  
their health1 but1  as ,god's great     
purpose was moral reform1 ,he had an eye
 single to their  moral condition in the
 matter of their eating4 ,does any one  
doubt that  the unhealthy1 ugly1 and    
vicious elements that make up the flesh 
of  most of the animals we eat1 enter   
our blood1 and in that way affect the   
disposition or carriage of the soul8 ,i 

am confident1 if there was less  demand 
for animal food the quality would be    
very much better4 ,animals  would not be
 subject to false and unhealthy         
generation1 and false and  hasty methods
 of growth4 ,they would come up more in 
keeping with the  laws of their nature1 
and come to us with more healthy and    
better  qualities4 ,as for the hog1 if  
man would not domesticate him1 he could 
not propagate his species4 ,he would    
become extinct just like the lion1      
leopard1 and hyena1 under the march of  
civilization4 ,as the blessings  of     
civilized life reach us1 you notice the 
carnivorous or flesh-eating  animals    
become extinct4 ,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 tendencies1 
and eat  such food as tends to develop  
the mental and moral faculties1 and not 
the animal propensities4 ,among animals 
you find that those that live on  the   

flesh of other animals are the most     
vicious and destructive1 such  as the   
lion1 leopard1 and hyena4 ,those animals
 that live on the grains  and the higher
 order of foods are the best1 most      
beautiful1 and most  useful1 such as the
 horse and cow4 ,if this law obtains    
among animals1  why not among men8      
,beyond a doubt it does4 ,if you want   
proof of this1  study the character and 
lives of those who live largely on      
animal food1  and you will find them    
very animal-like in all their           
relations--restive1  impatient1         
passionate1 ugly in their ways1 fiery in
 their disposition1  easily provoked1   
readily put out of humor4 ,and if you   
could look into  their private lives you
 would find all their baser qualities   
having the  fullest sway1 stopping1 it  
may be1 inside the fence of human laws  
and  customs1 but seldom considering the
 claims of a higher and divine law4  ,i 
charge1 then1 very much of our household
 misery1 domestic woe1 and  connubial   

wretchedness1 to unrestrained lust      
begotten in the body by  the inordinate 
use of animal food4    ,we forget1 my   
hearers1 that the great law of nature1  
8,like produces  like10 is universal4   
8,every seed after its kind is the law  
of all  creation40 ,there is no         
exception to this law4 ,this principle  
obtains  not only in the production of  
life1 but in the processes of its       
development4 ,if my position about the  
intimacy of soul and body is  true1     
then1 if a man's body is made up chiefly
 of flesh taken from  diseased animals1 
and his whole physical frame is         
saturated with the  irritating and      
exciting condiments of what is popularly
 called good  food1 the whole bias of   
his bodily powers will be toward        
animalism4  ,all the impressions and    
impulses that the soul receives from    
such a  body are beastly and debasing4  
,like produces like in the formation of 
physical tissue out of food1 as well as 
in the generation of stock in  the      

stall4 ,hence ,i hold that very much of 
the wickedness of mankind  is the       
natural expression of physical          
beastliness rather than the  outflow of 
innate viciousness4 ,a body made up     
largely of all manner of  nerve-goading1
 passion-producing1 anger-generating    
elements1 such as  are found in the     
gross animal dishes with their          
stimulating adjuncts1  just as surely   
drives the soul to sin as a tempest     
drives a feather  before it4    ,as     
modern research has proved that bad or  
imperfect food when  digested surely    
makes bad or imperfect blood1 incapable 
of performing  its appointed work of    
upbuilding and of reparation1 so has    
science  demonstrated that perfect food 
is one of the most potent among         
remedies for the relief of many diseased
 conditions4 ,since the blood  is the   
life1 and since blood is merely food    
emulsified1 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 blood1 which shall presently    
supplant that  which is feeble1 that    
which is lacking in waste-repairing     
power1 that  which fails to give        
strength to the muscles or vigor to the 
brain1  and may thus become the most    
effective medicine4 ,a perusal of recent
  professional medical literature       
evinces the great stress which is now   
laid upon dietetics in the treatment of 
all diseases4 ,the approach to  this    
high altitude has been gradual1 but     
sure4 ,at first foods were made  the    
vehicles for drugs2 and cod-liver oil   
and malt-extracts1 which are  only      
concentrated foods of the hydro-carbon  
varieties1 were loaded with  lime and   
iron and strychnine and phosphorous and 
scores of other drugs4  ,but perfect    
results were secured by the use of these
 foods without  the drug additions1 and 
so the foods were at last given the     
credit  which all along belonged to     

them4 ,and so it has come to pass that  
with  advanced medical men1 in a vast   
majority of cases of sickness1 the      
support of the life-powers by proper    
nutrients is the foremost thought1  the 
best food proving to be the best        
medicine4    ,the kind of food a man    
eats1 and the time and manner of his    
eating it1  are not merely a question of
 medicine1 but one of the first         
questions  of morals4 ,the effects of   
food on the passions and feelings are   
thus  described by ,prior3              
8,observe the various operations        
,of food and drink in several nations2  
,was ever ,tartar fierce and cruel      
,upon the strength of water gruel8      
,but who shall stand his rage and force 
,when first he rides1 then eats1 his

 fare1      ,tune the ,italian spark's

,confrere right1      ,pudding and beef 
make ,britons fight40      ,if1         
therefore1 our meat has something to do 

with our morals1 or if our  food in some
 way affects our faith1 it seems to me  
that many of our  efforts at moral      
reform ought to be preceded by          
instruction in hygiene4  ,in other      
words1 efforts to make a man genuinely  
devotional ought to be  prefaced by     
efforts to correct bad dietetic habits4 
,a father1 by prayer  and precept and   
flogging1 had done his best to reform   
his boy1 whose  staple diet was meat and
 sausage and pie and cake at his meals1 
with  lunch between4 ,the family        
physician said to the father1 8,if you  
will  put a leech back of each of your  
boy's ears once a week for a month1  you
 will do more to reform him than your   
preaching and pounding will do  in a    
year40 ,the father asked for the        
philosophy of this prescription4        
8,why10 said the doctor1 8your boy has  
bad blood1 and too much of it2  he must 
behave badly or he would burst40        
8,then10 said the father1  8,i'll change
 his diet from beef and pie to hominy   

and milk40 ,in three  months thereafter 
a better boy for his age could not be   
found in the  neighborhood4 ,the acrid1 
biting1 evil blood had not become food  
for  leeches1 but it had done its wicked
 work and passed away1 and a cooler1    
blander1 purer1 safer blood had been    
supplied from sweeter1 gentler  food    
sources4    ,in your use of animal food 
be very particular as to quality and    
quantity4 ,lamb and mutton are          
considered the most healthy by the      
authorities4 ,avoid as you would        
contagion the use of pork1 unless you   
raise it yourselves1 and feed it with   
good grain1 and not the refuse  of the  
house or barn1 and keep the animals as  
clean as you do your pet  dogs4 ,never  
fry your meat with hogs' lard1 but stew1
 bake1 boil1 or  broil it4 ,use hogs'   
lard in no form for cooking4 ,most of it
 is said to  be reeking with scrofulous 
elements4 ,displace it in all your      
cooking  by milk or butter4 ,if you want
 to aid and not hinder the growth of    

your  soul ,godward1 if you desire to   
have pure thoughts and a pure heart and 
a pure life1 see that you make your     
blood out of pure food1 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 without4    ,there is another   
popular article of food among us1 which 
has a vital  connection with bodily     
disorders and bad exhibition of         
character4 ,good  in proper quantities  
and in its sphere1 when made the largest
 and chief  article of diet1 for every  
meal1 the one kind of food upon which we
  depend most for building up the wastes
 of our bodies1 it indirectly  does     
great damage4 ,i refer to the ordinary  
fine flour bread made out of  bolted    
wheat meal4    ,it is proper to remember
 that the white flour from which our    
bread  is chiefly made1 and which is    
deemed the staff of life1 is a purely   
artificial product--a selection from    
that perfect food combination  which    

exists in wheat4 ,a competent food      
chemist has compared the  regular       
milling processes to one by which the   
fat part of an ox should  be saved for  
food1 and the lean part--the albuminous 
or nitrogenous  portion--discarded and  
given to the dogs4 ,the comparison is   
well based1  since the starch of wheat1 
which is valued because of its          
whiteness1  is a carbo-hydrate1         
chemically allied to the fat of meat2   
while the  dark nutriment of wheat1     
which1 because of its color1 is         
discarded with  the bran with which it  
is found in contact in nature1 is a     
vegetable  nitrogenous albumen1 rich in 
mineral elements1 and almost identical1 
chemically1 with the lean or muscular   
tissue of beef4    ,the process of      
bolting or refining takes from the wheat
 most of the  phosphates and nitrates1  
the elements that are chiefly required  
for  making nerves1 muscles1 bones1 and 
brains4 ,the phosphates and nitrates    
being removed by bolting1 very little   

remains in the flour except  the starchy
 carbonates1 the heat and fat producing 
elements4 ,the use  of fine flour bread 
as a staple article of food introduces  
too much  heat and fat-producing        
elements into the system1 and where     
there is  too much carbon or heating    
substance1 it tends rather to provoke   
the  system to unnatural and abnormal   
action1 and instead of serving as an    
element to warm the body1 its tendency  
is to burn or consume1 heating  and     
irritating all the organs1 getting one  
into that state which is  popularly     
known as 8hot-blooded40 ,the fine white 
flour ordinarily  used has two-thirds of
 the nitrogenous and mineral nutriment  
that ,god  put in the wheat taken out4  
,unless these deficiencies are made up  
by  some other foods1 the exclusive use 
of fine flour bread will leave  the     
nerves and bones poorly nourished1      
producing in some systems  nervousness1 
dyspepsia1 and all the physical ills    
that follow these  diseases1 together   

with impatience1 fretfulness1 and       
irritability4 ,god  intended that all   
the nutritive properties ,he put in the 
wheat should  stay in it for purposes of
 symmetrical nourishment4 ,fine flour   
bread  may be used for purposes of      
producing heat in the system1 but it    
does  not feed hungry nerves or starving
 bones4    ,one reason why children fed 
chiefly on white bread feel hungry      
nearly  all the time1 and demand so much
 food between meals1 is found in the    
fact that their bodies are              
insufficiently nourished4 ,their bones  
and nerves not receiving the nitrates   
and phosphates they need1 are  suffering
 from hunger4    ,when children are fed 
with food that thoroughly nourishes     
their whole  system1 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 evils4    ,flour made of all
 the nutriment of pure white wheat1     
unbolted1 yet  without the shell or husk

 or bran1 contains all the elements     
necessary  for the nourishment of the   
body4 ,the flour called ,graham flour   
rarely  contains these elements4 ,there 
is a great deal of bogus stuff in the   
market1 which has brought the genuine   
article into disrepute1 and made  many  
thoughtful people disgusted with        
everything in that line4 ,very  much    
that is called ,graham flour is made up 
of a mixture of fine bolted  flour1 and 
the woody fibre of the wheat1 which has 
no nutriment in it  at all4 ,this       
wretched fabrication has tended to make 
all whole wheat  products unpopular4    
,the woody bran is worse than worthless 
as food1  or to mix with food4 ,you     
might as well eat the shells of nuts1 or
 the  husks of corn1 or the skins of    
potatoes1 as the silex coats of wheat4  
,to overload the alimentary canal with  
such foreign indigestible matter  has no
 other tendency but to weaken and       
debilitate it4 ,very few millers        
trouble themselves to make a perfect    

whole wheat flour4 ,i know but one      
establishment in the world where wheat  
and other grains are treated  precisely 
as they should be1 with all the harmful 
part removed and the  rest made         
digestible by harmless methods1 and that
 is the ,health ,food  ,company of ,new 
,york4#a    #a ,see ,appendix1 page #cj4
    ,bread leavened1 or unleavened1 made
 out of what is called the ,cold  ,blast
 ,whole ,wheat ,flour1 makes more muscle
 and furnishes more food for  the nerves
 than any other article of food given to
 man except the pure  gluten of wheat4  
,i am not now advocating the views of   
the extremists1  the ,grahamites1       
neither do ,i counsel the disuse of fine
 flour bread4  ,this latter should be   
used in connection with unbolted flour1 
but  should not be relied on to furnish 
you with all the nutritious elements    
that your bodies need4 ,there is a      
golden mean between the extremes  of    
vegetarianism and exclusive flesh diet  
which the common sense of  thoughtful   

people will find4 ,during the warm      
season a diet made up  chiefly of       
fruits1 grains1 and vegetables will be  
most healthful  for body and soul4      
,instead of the scrofula-breeding pork  
or ham for  breakfast1 use some one of  
the great variety of grains1 especially 
oat-meal1 than which there are few      
better foods for growing children  and  
hard working adults4 ,instead of fried  
cakes1 rich pastry1 and  candies1 use   
fruit1 of which there is an abundant    
variety1 ten-fold  more nourishing than 
pies or cakes1 and very cleansing to the
 blood4  ,let brown bread1              
,johnnie-cake1 and corn-meal pudding    
supplant fine  wheat bread as much as   
possible4 ,eat your meals regularly and 
slowly1  eating nothing between them4   
,eat sparingly of meat at mid-day1 and  
let  it be good fresh beef1 mutton1 or  
fish1 well cooked4 ,let the evening     
meal be taken not later than six        
o'clock4 ,discard tea and coffee1 and   
make your own coffee with browned crusts

 of bread1 or burned whole  wheat4#b    
,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 yourselves1      
vanishing4    #b ,the ,health ,food     
,company prepare a 8,cereal ,coffee0    
from ,wheat ,gluten  and ,barley1 which 
not only makes a delicious beverage1 but
 tends  to greatly strengthen both body 
and brain4 ,those who would release     
themselves from the dangerous practice  
of tea-drinking1 and the less  injurious
 but still objectionable use of the     
commercial coffees1 will  do well to try
 this nutrient beverage4    ,again1 we  
derange our bodies and demoralize our   
souls by eating too  much4 ,the great   
end of life with many of us is to eat4  
,the ,american  dining-room has become1 
for the most part1 a place for the      
indulgence  of animalism1 and not for   
the development of the affections or    
social  qualities4 ,a distinguished     
,american physician said3 8,i am        

sixty-six  years old1 and ,i have eaten 
enough food to answer my wants for #ajj 
years1 and yet ,i am what most people   
call a small eater40 ,the popular  habit
 of using1 inordinately1 appetizers in  
the shape of the ordinary  table        
condiments1 begets a false and unnatural
 appetite4 ,the time comes  when honest 
food palls upon the depraved senses4    
,the pampered1 jaded  appetite no longer
 finds satisfaction in simple           
food-flavors2 the  palate must be       
prompted with pungent things4 ,the cook1
 who is never a  physiologist1 responds 
to the demand for spurs to appetite1 and
 finds  them in mixtures of spices and  
peppers and mustards and acids and      
essential oils and chemicals1 and       
multitudes of non-food substances4      
,with these1 and various biting         
alcohols1 the delicate lining of the    
stomach is inflamed1 inducing a desire  
for food which passes for what  it is   
not1 namely1 honest appetite4 ,the      
palate demands more food than  the      

stomach can digest or the system        
assimilate4 ,poor nature1 anxious  to do
 the best she can1 adapts herself to the
 unnatural situation1  and forces all   
the other organs to do the same2 and    
thus we become  accustomed to           
over-eating and do not know it4    ,that
 all who accustom themselves to a       
stimulating diet1 to spices and  wines  
and other irritating things1 consume too
 much food1 cannot1 ,i  think1 be       
gainsayed4 ,the amount and kind of food 
needed depends upon  the individual     
habits and the kind of waste to be      
supplied4 ,a wholly  idle man should    
thrive well on cucumbers and            
water-melons1 which are  chiefly water2 
while the hard-working hod-carrier would
 demand several  pounds of solid carbon 
and nitrogen daily4 ,it is the          
sedentary1 the  well-to-do1 the man of  
leisure1 who suffers most from          
over-eating2 and  it behooves him to    
carefully avoid all goads and spurs to  
appetite4  ,with the simplest flavors he

 is nearly certain to over-eat and thus 
to  suffer4 ,with an appetite stimulated
 and induced1 without corresponding     
out-door labor to create a genuine need 
and demand for it1 digestive  failure   
and assimilative bankruptcy is only a   
question of time4    ,the stomach1      
overloaded1 performs its work           
imperfectly1 and thus  imposes on all   
the organs an extra amount of work1     
which breaks them  down prematurely1    
causing diseases of every kind1 such as 
nervous  headache1 sick headache1 rush  
of blood to the head1 apoplexy1 sore    
eyes1 deafness1 erysipelas1 neuralgia of
 the face1 decayed teeth1  catarrh1     
bronchitis1 asthma1 nausea1 common      
colic1 congestion of the  liver1 and a  
host of other diseases too unpleasant to
 mention4 ,in some  cases there is a    
disposition of too much fatty matter in 
the system2  and many people suppose    
that fatness is a sign of healthfulness1
 which  is false4 ,no one needs any more
 fat on his body than is essential to   

form cushions for his tendons and       
muscles2 if too much1 there is a        
depletion of strength4    ,the crowded  
and overloaded condition of the system  
makes the body take  on very many false 
manifestations4 ,the irritation produced
 in an  overcharged system manifests    
itself in different forms in different  
individuals4 ,in some it produces       
nervousness1 making them rack the  flesh
 off their bones and keeping them poor2 
and in others it produces  sluggishness1
 retaining defunct matter in the system1
 making them  corpulent4 ,as ,i have    
said1 our highly-seasoned foods create  
morbid and  abnormal appetites4    ,as a
 consequence we eat too much and too    
often1 the system being borne  down by  
overwork in its digestive department1   
there comes a demand for  stimulating   
drinks and medicines to take off the    
depression and to keep  up tone2 and to 
make ourselves feel good1 after having  
made ourselves  feel bad1 by improper   
eating1 some of us resort to tea and    

coffee1 and  others to alcohol1 and then
 the excitement produced demands a      
sedative1  and some of us smoke and     
others chew a poisonous weed called     
tobacco4  ,thus the poor body1 subject  
to these revulsions of unnatural action 
in  overwork and stimulation and        
sedation1 is goaded to abnormities and  
unnatural action1 sending up to the soul
 no other influences but those  which   
drive it to moral madness and vicious   
deeds4    ,now1 vice is a morbid        
exhibition of the will4 ,the will is    
represented  through the physical organ1
 the brain1 and the brain is straightway
  affected by the condition of the body 
and the state of the blood4 ,the  will  
is that power of the mind by which we   
put forth volitions and  perform        
actions4 ,if the pressure of bad blood  
is on the brain1 that  same pressure is 
on the will2 hence a sick man or a      
diseased man will  do a great many bad  
things through the power of bad blood on
 the will4  ,vice1 then1 is both the    

result and cause of physical            
derangement4  ,hence that vice of vices1
 drunkenness4    ,drunkenness may be    
caused by bad physical conditions1      
brought about  by bad habits of eating4 
,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 drunkards8 ,may there not be some
 cause working in the flesh  of our     
youths1 driving them to intemperance8   
,may it not be possible  that kind      
fathers and mothers for years have been 
filling up the awful  gap of #dj1jjj    
dead drunkards annually by feeding their
 children upon  stimulating1            
highly-seasoned1 innutritious foods8    
,there is no doubt  in my mind that     
every man is a glutton before he is a   
drunkard4 ,if  nature's laws are        
violated1 a man's sensations will be all
 abnormal1  and the mainsprings of his  
life will be befouled1 and the result   
will be irregular and vicious           
expressions of all the appetites1 both  

for food and drink4 ,i am1 therefore1   
confident that the widespread  appetite 
for intoxicating liquors is largely due 
to the false relations  that the        
,american people hold to their food4 ,we
 cannot hope much  from moral suasion   
and legal enactments so long as we      
overlook the  physical condition of the 
drunkard4 ,if you would cure disease or 
vice  effectually1 you must shut off    
that which nourishes them1 instead of   
putting all your force in efforts to    
antidote them4 8,let the wicked  forsake
 his way10 and then turn unto the ,lord1
 and he will have mercy  on him1 and to 
our ,god1 and he will abundantly pardon 
him4 ,there are  #bjj1jjj drunkards in  
the ,united ,states1 #dj1jjj of whom go 
annually to  premature graves4 ,there   
are #bj1jjj prostitutes1 whose average  
life  in their profession is four years4
 ,do you believe this vast army of      
immortals go willingly to ruin8 ,there  
are causes lying back of mere           
perversities of soul in the common      

every-day dietetic habits of these      
forlorn ones4    ,eating and drinking   
are always associated with the bar and  
brothel1  and if you will take notice1  
the eating is always of that kind of    
food which goes straight for the animal 
nature1 and wakes up in a man           
everything that is beastly4    ,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       
stimulants4 ,no wonder the drinking     
saloons can  afford to give what they   
call a 8free lunch40 ,care is taken to  
furnish  such food as fires the appetite
 for strong drink1 and the rum-seller   
gets his pay for his 8free lunch0       
through the sale of the whisky that     
must inevitably follow it4 ,those who1  
living on highly stimulating  foods1 but
 do not drink strong drinks1 will find  
that the bias of their  bodily powers1  
instead of being toward mental and      
spiritual spheres1  will be toward      

animal indulgences1 dragging the mind   
and soul into  servitude to the flesh1  
and where there are any moral           
aspirations1  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 lost4    ,i am 
confident that the ,american habit of   
eating sumptuous and late  suppers1     
whether at our homes or church fairs or 
festivals1 is damaging  the physical1   
mental1 and moral health of our nation  
more than any  other one thing of its   
kind2 more damaging1 because it has the 
appearance of innocency1 and the        
sanction of our fathers and mothers  and
 some of our pastors4    ,furthermore1  
the habit of eating hurriedly1 or       
hastily1 is preying  upon the vital and 
moral forces of many of us4 ,a meal     
eaten hastily or  nervously1 under the  
pressure of intense mental activity or  
nervous  tension1 or great weariness1   

begins its work of nutrition under the  
greatest possible disadvantage4 ,all our
 meals should be eaten calmly  and      
deliberately1 so as to thoroughly       
masticate the food1 and not  impose on  
the stomach and viscera the legitimate  
work of the teeth4  ,in the interest of 
health to soul as well as body ,i enter 
an earnest  plea for more time for      
eating1 and especially at noon1 when    
most hard  working people take their    
principal meal4 ,clerks1 business men1  
and  school teachers1 mechanics1        
laborers1 and our children who attend   
the  public schools1 need more time at  
noon to properly dispose of the chief   
meal of the day4 ,no better investment  
could be made to secure the best        
possible physical1 intellectual1        
financial1 and moral returns than for   
all classes of people to take two hours 
at mid-day for resting and  eating      
dinner4 ,selfish greed demands          
otherwise1 and makes a show of  gain2   
but the loss is sure to come in due time

 to all parties concerned4    ,my       
friends1 when will we fast-living1      
fast-eating1 fast-working1 and          
fast-dying ,americans learn the great   
lesson1 that life is a unit1  that the  
,divine ,trinity in us1 namely1 the     
physical1 intellectual1  and spiritual1 
is one life1 with different phases of   
expression2 and  whatever mars one mars 
the whole1 and whatever builds up one   
most  surely builds up the others8 ,all 
our powers are many members in one      
body1 with an inter-dependence which is 
eternal4 ,slight your body1  and you    
smite your soul and enervate the mind4  
,corrupt the mind1 and  you debase both 
body and soul4 ,when will those who     
profess to be ,god's  children by the   
adoption of the ,holy ,ghost1 catch the 
,spirit of ,his  great ,apostle ,paul1  
who1 more than any other sacred writer1 
maintained  the sanctity of the human   
body and its subservience to the mind   
and  soul4 ,hear him3 8,i beseech you1  
brethren1 by the mercies of ,god that   

ye present your bodies a living         
sacrifice1 holy1 acceptable unto ,god1  
which is your reasonable service1 and be
 not conformed to this world1  but be ye
 transformed by the renewing of your    
minds1 that ye may prove  what is that  
good and acceptable and perfect will of 
,god40 ,i admit the  power of the ,holy 
,ghost in the work of regeneration1 but 
is there not  something for us to do1 in
 keeping our bodies under1 8lest we     
become  cast-aways80 ,i do not say that 
all human evils and ills have their     
primary origin in physical habits1 but  
,i do say that the great mass  of       
impulsions from the excited1 inflamed1  
over-stimulated body toward  the soul1  
are in the interests of sin4 ,the       
economy of salvation orders  otherwise4 
,by the ,gospel the body may become the 
temple of the ,holy  ,ghost4 ,by the law
 of self-denial of the ,new ,testament1 
our bodies1 with  all their fiery       
elements1 may be made an inspiration to 
our souls4  ,it is not the purpose of   

,god that a life-time warfare shall be  
kept  up between the body and the soul4 
,there ought to come to every true      
,christian a day of final victory over  
his bodily powers1 in which they  will  
cease their rebellion1 and come into the
 sweetest union with the  soul in its   
great work of developing a likeness to  
,christ4    ,why are we called upon to  
present the body a living sacrifice to  
,god1  if its powers are not to be      
sanctified to holy purposes8 ,why should
 we  spend all our life waiting for the 
adoption of our whole nature1 to  wit1  
the redemption of the body1 as well as  
the soul4    ,our fondest dreams for the
 progress of humanity must be based in a
  newly created body by strict obedience
 to the laws of ,god1 written on  every 
fibre1 tissue1 muscle1 and bone4 ,we    
cannot develop the human  brain and     
heart to the possibilities that ,god has
 put in them1 while  they are the       
tenants of bodies the laws of which are 
violated in the  commonest habits of    

every-day life4    ,regeneration does a 
mighty work for us2 but generation has  
also much  to do with our highest and   
best development4 ,the sins of the      
fathers  must cease1 so that the sons   
may be spared their terrible            
visitations2  the accumulated virtues of
 parents must roll over on their        
children in  purer1 stronger1 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 life4    ,why may we not now1     
under the laws of redemption1 begin to  
build a new  heaven and a new earth1 new
 souls and new bodies4 ,if our souls are
  redeemed and renewed by obedience and 
faith1 why not secure also the          
redemption of our bodies8 ,i know it is 
slow work to teach the subtle  but      
mighty elements of self-restraint4 ,i   
know the flesh lusteth against  the     
spirit4 ,yet ,i thank ,god who giveth us
 the victory through our ,lord  ,jesus

,,appendix4      ,in complying with the 
request of ,messrs4 ,fowler  ,wells for 
the  manuscript of this sermon for      
publication1 ,i should fall far short of
  my duty if ,i did not allude more     
particularly than seemed appropriate  in
 a ,sabbath sermon1 to the valuable work
 which is being done by the  ,health    
,food ,company1 and to the great        
excellence of its products4 ,if  these  
remarks were addressed to physicians1   
the simple mention of the  name of the  
company would suffice1 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 type1 as well as for such as are  
in health and are solicitous  thus to   
continue4 ,the work of the company has1 
from the beginning1  been under the wise
 direction of a scientific head1 himself
 an  original investigator1 and having  
an ample acquaintance with all the      

truths which have been evolved by modern
 scientific research4 ,while  it is very
 important that physicians should know  
all that is to be  known concerning     
improved forms of diet1 in order that   
their large  opportunities for conveying
 valuable information to the world may  
not  go unused1 ,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 cooks1     
which may not be violated with          
impunity1 the scope and importance of   
which are being more perfectly          
understood from year to year1 and which1
 in their practical application  by     
intelligence and skill1 are capable of  
accomplishing a grand work in  the      
up-building and re-building of human    
bodies and brains4 ,especially  am ,i   
desirous that my brethren in the        
ministry--many of whom1 ,i am           

persuaded1 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 
food1 such foods may  nearly or quite   
fail to supply or replenish the waste of
 the delicate  brain and nervous system2
 and should understand how the best     
foods for  the active brain-worker can  
be procured4    ,a dyspeptic myself1 a  
member of a dyspeptic family1 and       
observing  much of that kind of misery  
and weakness which arises from digestive
  feebleness1 ,i have been compelled to 
study the subject of food in its        
relation to bodily and mental and moral 
well-being1 during many years2  and it  
is not less a pleasure than a duty to   
say that an intimate  acquaintance with 
the researches of the ,health ,food ,co4
 and its  products1 has convinced me    
that this organization is the center and
  source of the best information        
obtainable in any land1 on the subject  

of dietetics2 that the food which it    
prepares from many substances1          
especially from the cereal grains1 are  
the best in the world2 and that  all who
 seek to live wisely and well1 all who  
are strong and would  continue so1 all  
who are feeble and would fain be strong1
 all in whom  the spirit to lead noble  
and useful lives is willing1 but in whom
 the  flesh1 alas6 is weak--owe it to   
themselves and to all whom they have    
power to influence1 to learn all that   
can be learned concerning the  great    
work of this company4 ,in this brief    
,appendix it is not possible  to allude1
 even remotely1 to all its              
investigations in the domain of         
dietetics1 nor to fully indicate the    
valuable results which it has  achieved4
 ,i shall be justified1 however1 in     
referring to a few of its  more         
prominent applications of scientific    
thought to the daily needs of  humanity4
    ,it knew that the white commercial  
flour of wheat1 by whatever 8new        

process10 or under whatever brand1 was a
 robbed1 impoverished food1  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 horses4 ,it deemed
 it a pity that human bodies and brains 
should  be deprived of just what it most
 needed for perfect support--this  wheat
 nitrogen1 so rich in the useful        
minerals without which there is  no     
adequate up-building of every tissue4   
,so it devised a method of  removing all
 the woody1 branny1 siliceous coats from
 the grain without  wasting one atom of 
the nutriment4 ,seeing that ordinary    
mill-stone  grinding tended to heat and 
impair the flour1 it devised other and  
better methods of pulverizing4 ,to-day1 
as for years past1 their whole  wheat   
flour is not a coarse1 harsh1 branny    
mixture1 like what is called  8,graham10
 but a perfect1 natural1 nourishing     
bread-food1 with nothing  taken from it 
that is useful1 and without the         

obnoxious addition of  grit from rapidly
 revolving millstones1 or the woody     
fibre and silex  which form the         
protecting1 innutritious shell4 ,thus   
the theories of  the value of bread from
 the entire wheat berry1 advanced by    
,dr4 ,john  ,c4 ,warren1 of ,boston1 in 
#ahbe1 and subsequently urged by ,dr4   
,sylvester  ,graham1 were taken up by   
the head of the ,health ,food ,company1 
sustained  in part and exploded in part1
 while the small residue of truth really
  existing in the ,grahamite philosophy1
 modified and improved by exact         
experiments and by scientific methods1  
has at length been made of  real value  
to the human race instead of continuing 
to be a source  of possible1 and often  
of positive injury1 by virtue of the    
errors  originally attending it4 ,the   
perfect1 branless flour of the entire   
grain is called the ,,cold ,,blast      
,,whole ,,wheat ,,flour1 and is1 beyond 
question1 the most perfect bread-food in
 the world4    ,again1 chemistry long   

ago proved that the nitrogenous1        
albuminous  element of the great food   
staples 7the cereal grains7 known as    
,,gluten1  was the chief source of      
muscular tissue in animals1 whether     
obtained  from grasses1 seeds1 or other 
vegetable substances2 that it could be  
digested in a mixture of #a part gastric
 juice and #aj parts water2 that  it    
could be separated from its universal   
attendant1 starch1 by washing2  and that
 a kind of tasteless1 insipid bread     
could then be made from  it1 which was  
understood to be useful in a disease    
called diabetes4  ,up to a few years ago
 these facts comprised pretty much all  
that the  scientific world knew about   
,,gluten4 ,it was known to exist2       
,koopman1  the ,german chemist1 had     
shown it to be readily digestible2 and  
it was  non-convertible into sugar1 and 
therefore a safe food for those to whom 
starch1 or the sugar which results from 
digested starch1 is little  less than   
poison4 ,these slender facts were not   

sufficient to satisfy  the accurate     
investigator at the head of the ,health 
,food ,co4 ,he deemed  it probable that 
this easily digested ,,gluten1 this     
source of all the  tissues of the ox    
except the fatty ones1 would be found to
 be of vast  value as a separate food   
for human beings1 if while being        
practically  isolated from the starch   
and bran associates which nature        
provides1  it could still retain the    
pleasant grainy flavor of the cereal    
which  supplies it4 ,he began a series  
of investigations to determine the      
source of the agreeable flavor existing 
in sound wheat1 and--as modified  by    
milling and cooking--in commercial wheat
 flour and the foods prepared           
therefrom4 ,the results of the          
researches of ,prof4 ,henry ,b4 ,hill1  
of ,harvard ,university1 and of those   
contemporaneously conducted by  ,adolph 
,baeyer1 of ,munich1 led him to conclude
 that to the oil known as  8furfurol10  
existing in the exterior bran and       

interior cellulose of the  grain1 the   
flour and bread chiefly owed their      
desirable flavors4 ,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 taste4  ,accordingly1 methods 
were devised for separating the gluten  
and the  cellulose from most of the     
starch1 these three elements alone      
remaining  after the bran coats were    
peeled off4    ,this 8whole wheat       
gluten10 as it is termed by the company1
 has proved  a most valuable food1 not  
only for the diabetic1 to whom it seems 
to  present the chief hope of recovery1 
but to the dyspeptic and feeble1        
whether in brain or body4 ,its use has  
been attended with such signally        
successful results as to attract the    
attention of large numbers of  prominent
 medical men1 among whom ,i may mention 
,prof4 ,austin ,flint1 of  ,bellevue    
,hospital ,medical ,college1 ,new ,york 
city1 who passes upon it a  warm        

encomium in his last great volume4 ,see 
,flint's ,clinical ,medicine1  pp4      
#deb-ec4    ,if ,i did not feel quite   
certain that the vast majority of those 
who  shall peruse this paragraph would  
seek from the ,health ,food ,company1 or
  from some of its many agents in       
various parts of the country1 the very  
able and interesting pamphlets which it 
mails free to all applicants1  ,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 humanity1 from infancy to old age4  
,to  adequately describe them all1 would
 require a volume2 let me content       
myself with an allusion to one or two of
 the many4    ,there is a digestive     
element existing in the saliva and in   
the fluid  called the 8pancreatic       
juice10 which bears the name of         
8diastase40 ,this  diastase exists      
nowhere outside of the animal economy1  
except in seeds  during the process of  

germination1 or sprouting4 ,when the    
seed1 or  cereal1 or vegetable1 is      
exposed to proper influences of moisture
 and  warmth1 such1 for example1 as are 
supplied by the earth in spring-time1   
the process of germination begins1 and  
from the germ diastase is  liberated4   
,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     
plant4 ,it is the digestant of food1    
whether the  thing fed be plant or      
animal4 ,now1 while physiologists have  
long been  ready to concede that when1  
as is common in diseased conditions1    
this  important digestant is absent from
 the saliva and pancreatic juice1  the  
conversion of all starchy foods is      
suspended1 it has not been  supposed    
that diastase has any marked influence  
upon the emulsification  and digestion  
of food-substances not containing       
starch1 nor had any  food-chemist       
availed himself of the diastase in      

cereals1 if ,i except  the development  
and possible subsequent retention1 to   
some extent1 of  diastase in some of the
 preparations of malt4 ,the ,health     
,food ,company  develops and employs the
 cereal diastase in a most effective    
way4 ,it  removes the germinal molecules
 from wheat and barley1 reduces them to 
powder1 forms the powder into a dough1  
encloses it in a steam-tight  vessel and
 subjects the vessel and contents for a 
protracted period to  a temperature of  
#aej;,f4 ,the latent diastase is thus   
brought into being1  while the low      
temperature and the close vessel        
completely prevent its  volatilization  
and loss4 ,the diastatic dough is       
subsequently dried and  powdered1 and is
 then packed and labeled1 ready for use1
 demanding no  cooking1 and no other    
preparation than simple moistening with 
milk  or water4 ,used with milk it is   
found to prevent that tough and curdy   
coagulation which renders milk so       
oppressive1 8bilious0 and indigestible  

in many cases4 ,the name given to this  
diastatic food which ,i have  mentioned1
 is 8,the ,universal ,food10 a name     
suggested by a leading  physician1 who  
believed it to be universally applicable
 to enfeebled  conditions in which      
better nourishment was needed4 ,it is   
admirably  adapted to the nourishment of
 infants1 as diastase is almost entirely
  lacking during the first years of     
life1 and may wisely be supplied from   
exterior sources4    ,the ,company's    
great work for the multitude1 however1  
is in the  preparation of wheat1 oats1  
barley1 rye1 corn1 peas1 beans1 and     
other  seeds4 ,these are perfectly      
cleansed from all impurities1 the outer 
bran-coats1 husks1 and pellicles are    
removed1 and the interior1  soluble1    
digestible food-portion is admirably    
prepared for ready  cooking4 ,persons   
who have a distaste for ,graham and     
crushed wheat1 and  oat-meal and other  
cereals1 find in the ,fine ,granulated  
,wheat1 the  ,coarse ,granulated ,wheat1

 ,company1  delicious foods1 which1 once
 adopted1 are continued from choice4    
,i leave this important subject with my 
readers1 again urging them  to seek to  
learn more concerning it4 ,to be placed 
in possession of  information which ,i  
do not assume to be competent to impart1
 it is only  necessary that you address 
a postal card to the ,health ,food      
,company1  ,no4 #gd ,fourth ,ave41 cor4 
#ajth street1 ,new ,york1 ,n4 ,y41      
asking for all  its ,health ,food       
literature1 and appending your address1 
and you will be  quite certain to       
receive the entertaining pamphlets by   
due course of  mail4 ,the agents of the 
company1 also1 cordially respond to     
calls for  circulars and orders for the 
,health ,foods4      ,let me ask my     
readers not to content themselves with  
sending for and  perusing1 however      
carefully1 the instructive pamphlets of 

the ,health  ,food ,company4 ,if you are
 sick you will do well to describe your 
condition by letter to the company1 and 
its medical head will write  you which  
of the foods are adapted to your case2  
you can then order a  supply of such as 
he advises4 ,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 well1 you will be able to    
select  from their list1 without special
 advice4 ,advice from the medical man   
of the organization costs nothing1      
however1 and should be asked in all     
doubtful or diseased states4 ,j4 ,f4 ,c4

,,gentlemen3--    ,i should like to     
state to your ,company the great success
 ,i have had  in using your ,gluten     
,suppositories1 and the advisability of 
letting  the medical profession         
generally know of this simple and       
efficacious  remedy for constipation4 ,i
 have prescribed these ,suppositories   
almost  daily in my practice this       
winter1 and have often been astonished  
at the  permanent results obtained4 ,it 
seems that in great torpor of the rectum
  and descending colon it is especially 
useful4    ,i recollect a little girl in
 #ebnd street1 where the constipation   
was so  great that very often--much     
against my will--,i was forced to       
administer  a dose of ,castor ,oil4     
,since the use of these ,gluten         
,suppositories she  has remained        
well--over six months4 ,it does not cure

 all cases1 but in  all the instances   
where patients have given it a good1    
fair trial1 some  benefit has been      
derived4    ,you may utilize this       
endorsement if it will make this remedy 
more  widely known among the profession4

            ,,the ,,health ,,food       
,,company ,,of ,,new ,,york      ,is now
 in the twelfth year of its existence4  
,its valuable and important  work has   
been recognized and commended by        
thousands of physicians1 by  many       
writers for the medical and general     
press1 and by multitudes of  the sick   
and suffering who have found health and 
comfort through its  products4 ,it has  
had many imitators1 but it has          
conscientiously adhered  to its original
 mission of preparing      ,perfect     

,foods for ,sick and ,well4    ,basing  
its work upon exact science1 and being  
presided over by a  scientific man1 it  
has gained the support and co-operation 
of the  scientific world4 ,a year or two
 since1 a competitor in the manufacture 
of a single article1 known as 8,whole   
,wheat ,flour10 secured the  publication
 of an article from the pen of a ,dr4   
,ephraim ,cutter--styling  himself 8a   
microscopist0--in which he asserted his 
ability to determine  the relative      
percentages of gluten and starch by the 
use of the  microscope alone4 ,he       
furthermore said that while the         
food-value of  a bread-flour depended   
upon its percentage of gluten1 the      
various  flours of the ,health ,food    
,company contained no gluten whatever2  
and  that the flour made by the         
8,franklin ,mills0 7,dr4 ,cutter's      
employer7  was so rich in gluten as to  
make it 8a blessing to mankind40 ,these 
grossly absurd statements called forth  
some very scathing criticisms  and much 

ridicule by the medical and secular     
press1 and induced ,prof4  ,r4 ,h4      
,thurston1 of the ,stevens ,institute of
 ,technology--who had derived  benefit  
from the ,health ,foods--to invite his  
colleague1 ,prof4 ,albert  ,n4 ,leeds1  
,public ,analyst for the ,state of ,new 
,jersey and ,professor of  ,chemistry in
 the ,stevens ,institute1 to            
microscopically examine and  chemically 
analyze the food substances alluded to1 
for the purpose of  determining the     
accuracy or inaccuracy of ,cutter's     
statements1 and1  furthermore1 to settle
 the question of the value of the       
8microscopic  analysis10 for which so   
much had been claimed by ,cutter4 ,prof4
 ,leeds'  careful work conclusively     
showed that the microscope was valuable 
to  detect adulterations1 but valueless 
as a means of determining the           
percentages of the various natural      
constituents of a cereal flour2  so he  
proceeded to apply the crucial test of  
chemical analysis1 with  striking       

results4 7,in our limited space we can  
only briefly quote from  the            
,professor's published statement1 but we
 are assured that he will  cheerfully   
mail a copy of the pamphlet to any one  
who shall address  him at the ,college  
named1 situated in ,hoboken1 ,new       
,jersey47 ,premising  that wheat in its 
natural state contains1 on the average1 
about #ab  per cent4 of                 
albuminoids--chiefly gluten--he found in
 the ,health ,food  ,company's ,whole   
,wheat ,flour #af4gd per cent4 of this  
substance4 ,of the  8,franklin ,mills0  
flour1 said to be made from 8entire     
wheat10 he writes3  8,it contains #h4ee 
per cent4 of albuminoids1 chiefly       
gluten1 together  with a very large     
percentage of cellulose or finely-ground
 bran4 ,it is  greatly lacking in       
nutritive elements40    ,prof4 ,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 obtain1 whether of    

,american or foreign origin1 and more   
than  twice as rich as a so-called      
gluten made by ,farwell  ,rhines1 of    
,rochester4 ,he also finds by analysis  
that 8,robinson's ,prepared ,barley     
,flour0 contains only #e4ac per cent4 of
 albuminoids1 while the ,health  ,food  
,company's barley flour1 retailing for  
less than one-eighth as  much1 contains 
#ac4hc per cent41 showing it to be      
nearly three times  as rich in          
substantial nutriment4 ,the flours and  
foods of the ,health  ,food ,company are
 nourishing in health and remedial in   
sickness4 ,their  good work is in the   
improvement of the blood-making         
processes1 in  better digestion1 in     
increased nutrition4 ,it is their       
function to ably  supplement all such   
remedial measures as skill and science  
may suggest4  ,many physicians have     
testified to the increased readiness of 
diseases  to yield to their treatment   
when the patients have been sustained by
  the bland1 soluble1 non-irritating1   

nourishing nutriments prepared by  the

still stand at the head of the  long

specially qualified for her task1 as she
  is both a physician and a practical

the hands of every housekeeper who      
wishes to prepare  food healthfully and 
palatably4 ,the best way and the reason

is  thought of this work1 we copy a few 
brief extracts from the many            
,,notices ,,of ,,the ,,press4     8,this
 work contains a good deal of excellent

would be a public   benefit if our
