this beneficial action or potatoes in
the feeding of diabetic persons is,
according to Mosse, because the

ly those of potash, and potash ex-
erts a retarding influence on the pro-

Potatoes as a food in diabetes Might
well be carried much further in the
dietetics of diabetics, than in merely

proposes that the therrtpeutie diffi-
culty as to the prohibition of ordin-
ary bread for a. diabetic may be met
advn n t ageously by Making bread,
mkt's, and biscuits for diabetics by
using the "flour" of properly cooked
potatoes instead or the flour of
grain. Sawyer's dietary for diabe-
tics is as follows : May eat Matter's

Fish, oysters, crabs, lobsters, ani-
mal soups, not thickened excepting

in war, commerce, statesmanship or
art. For purposes or comparison ev-
en now these old-time hank auto-

that these signatures are the very

autographs of their writers, having
