For the information all such misguided

persons we would brg leave to state that

the large majority of mankind do not cat any animal food, or so sparingly, and at such long intervals that it cannot be said to

form their nourishment. Millions in Asia are sustained hy rice alone, with perhaps a

little vegetable oil, for seasoning. In Italy,

and southern hurope generally, bread

made of the Hour ot wheat or Indian corn,

with lettuce and the like mixed with oil, constitutes the food of the most robust part

of its population. The La..aroni ofNa-

ules, w ith forms so active and finely pro

portioned cannot even calculate on this

much; coarse bread and potatoes, is their

chief reliance: their drink of luxury is a

glass of icid water slightly acidulated
