Now Science tells us that the quality of the cells of which we are to a great extent made up will depend on the quality of the blood ; of these we have already spoken. The quality of the blood will depend partly on the air we breathe and on other conditions, but to a very great extent on the food which we take in.

I believe that it is quite possible, perhaps not in a single generation but at least in two generations, to get rid of most of the past injuries, if the Simpler Foods should be adopted and adhered to. In my own case I know that injuries are still present in my kidneys, etc., but that they are being kept in abeyance, and perhaps in another five years' time they will almost have disappeared. I cannot yet say, but at any rate they are not increasing, and, so far as every test goes, they do not assert themselves until I return to the ordinary foods and alcohol, when they "come to the surface " almost at once, as if at the touch of a magician's wand.

Of the formation of man, and the workings of the various parts of his body, i.e. of his Anatomy and Physiology, I will not speak at length: "Vegetarian" pamphlets are full of quotations about his organs. Here it will be sufficient to state that man is the nearest of all to the anthropoid apes: the brain is slightly different, but the body is remarkably like in most other respects. The teeth, for example, are extraordinary similar ; it is often stated even now that man's teeth, especially those which are called eye-teeth or canines, were made for the rending of flesh : real flesh-rending teeth are of a different kind from this, and our eye-tooth would do at least as well
