Why Jews Live so Long.

The Mosaic, like the older Egyptian code, is very stringent regarding the eating of flesh and other articles of food. Of the animals examined, a large proportion 4re always condemned as unlit for food. People who eat. meat Indiscriminately are very prone to disorders of the blood of the kidneys, for meat Is composed of nitrogen, which the kidneys have to remove from the blood, and of course they caiinot do this success fully except by the aid of Warner’s safe cure, the best kidney strengthened unless it is temperately partaken of and only the very beat meat 1* used.
