Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 35, Number 92, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 July 1903 — Sea-Water Bread. [ARTICLE]

Sea-Water Bread.

A Philadelphia baker Is the authority for the assertion that the latest fad of dyspeptics is bread made wth seawater, instead of fresh water. “It has a saltier taste,” he says, “than we are accustomed to, but It is very palatable. In fact, he who likes salty things Is apt to like it better than the other kind of bread.” A physician,” he says, “asked me about three months ago to make some of this bread for his patients. At first I made six loaves a day, but now I make thirty. My seawater comes up to ine three times a week. The dyspeptics who buy the bread say it is the only kind they can eat fresh without discomfort.”
