• Every adult should learn, in the due
course of living, the particular limita-
tions and vagaries (Idneks) of his
own body in relation to food.
There are tertain facts in regard to
the specific action and uses of food,
which the average person has 110 oc-

this is of service to medicine.
Growth determines the food needs
in childhood. Food here naust be se-
