A SOURCE OF GREAT JOY. I can truly say Vegetarian ism is a source ol great joy lo me. — Mr. L. Ravick, 55 Wall St., Boston, Mass.
FORTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE. After 40 years or nearly entire abstinence from flesli meats, the entire disuse of butter, salt, vin^ar, spices and all condiments and only water for drink. I see more than ever the beauty and the blessing of a pure and simple dietary, of eating to live- instead of living to eat, as most of those around us seem to do. Therefore t feel like increasing my efforts to bring these truths before the people and help on a reform that will do so much to make the wortd better.— J. P. Knowles, Smyrna, N. Y,
A DILIGENT WORKER IN THE CAUSE. My practice amongst the sick is to use anything but to give them drugs and this gives me a world of work the medicine doctor knows nothing about. I have only taken up the Vegetarian idea of late. In fact I may say P. , H. & G. has had as much to do about my abstaining from meat as any or all other causes combined. This alone has saved me many headaches in the past few years. I can talk and prescribe to my patients, and fight for your good cause, but yon mnst fur- nish me with the material to fight with. — E. Amelia TeA. M. D , graduate of Woman's Medical Collegeof Penn'a, Fredonia, Chautan- qua Co., N. Y.
THE EMERGENCY RATION. The Pudlif Ledger, (Pbila.) of June 8 states " that some time ago a detacbiuetit of the army was detailed to test an emergency ration and nearly starved while doing so. That style of food was very properly discontinued. Re- cently, a similar test was, made with a new emergency ration, and the results were better. The ration consisted of eight ounces of hard bread, five of beans, two of pea meal, one of
coffee, a quarter once of tobacco and the usual condiments. No meat was given. During a ten days' trial, the men travelled 21 miles a day, lost an average of three pounds each in weight, but gained an average of forty pounds each in strength. There seem to be great economic possibilities in this test, and it may be com- mended to the consideration of civilians as well as soldiers. It is very . cheap living, but seems to produce excellent results." The first experiment, which failed, was we understand, on the basis of a mixed diet in which canned and potted fiesh was a prominent feature.
