The Economy of Taking Food in Natural Proportions.

By something like a telegraphic arrangcmenl the stomach is kept informed of the wants of every'Organ and function; and, through the appetite, a demand is made for nitrates for muscular strength, or carbonates for animal heat, or ohosphates lor bones, and nertes, and braid, until all are supplied. And if we like food in its, natural state, so as to supply all these demands at the same time, the appetite is satisfied without waste material. For example, take unbolted wheat bread and milk, containing, as they both do, a due proportion of el»ments for muscle, animal heat, and: brains. The appetite is satisfied when just enough food p to*” supply his ten ounces of cattonates and two and a half ounces of nitrates, for hours’' supply. But suppose ho takea/itratead, white flour bread and but ter. Whenhe has taken'the ten ounces of carbonates whitll the system inquires for ■the meal, he has received lees than onequarter of the mc&wary nittates andphoe ■ phases, Mdnnt.il these principles are suppHed'* the appetite demands' more l rooH; and if he> attempts-< to satisfy these demands the - same food, he mult take four time* as much of carbcaatea m are heeded, withe ra>

And thus, b/ our daily habit of using, iqith arUcles already having their nararaljproportion of carbonates, butter, sugar ana fine flour, as we do in cakes, pastry, coqfeqUonery, tweet fiancee, etc., we waste three quarters of all these expensive articles. t -' Ulth less than half ute expenae that is thus wasted on these articles, to say nothing of the doctors bills, and foes of time occasioned by* inflapunatory diseases, he might purchase all the choice fruit and vegetables, and meats necessary to give him the highest gustatory pleasures of which hell capable; which would, at the* same time, save his doctor’s bills and his loss of .time from afokneaa.

J. Bdldwt, M. D. —Read the advertisement of the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company in another column, and send for the descriptive circulars Wirth they offer to send without charge to any one. As the demand f»« the celebrated oju has steadily increased, coming from almost every country on the globe, the company have added new machinery and facilities for manufacture which enable them to produce the best instruments they have ever made, at reduced cost. It Is their fixed policy to sell always at the smallest remunerative profit, and they have accordingly recently reduced their prices, and are said to be now selling some styles of organs at considerably less than the actual cost of manufacture of similar Instruments, to makers not having such facilities. Another peculiarity in the mode of doing business adopted by this company is, they print in their circulars their lowest prices, which are invariable, and alike to all.
