Again, the liver may fail to perform its

them to be thrown off by the organs of

diet, I should have said X considered meat
necessary to a comfortable existence. Did
you ever try this bill of fare, month after
month ; beans, plain -boiled, morning, noon
and night, with boiled potatoes added at
noon ? I did. The tee, ocelee and bread
were good, likewise my constitution, but no
meat, eggs, sauce or other thing for variety,
except that for a few weeks cabbage 311,0
substituted for beans, made rather a monot•
onoue diet. To he sure whon epring opened

had always supposed I could not eat them,
but soon learned, and made many a slipper

that our sppetites were in a better condition

ho most of our resoerces. We had a fair

mall lawn, vines, and ei few flowers for
