be about as s n ible to cpnfou nd eating with di gestion. But ev ry one will agree that to cram
the stoma h with food is not always to produce
health of onstitution and vigor of limb. There
must be dig es tion , a simi lation, the onversion of
the food eaten into fl sh and blood, bone and

it is eaten If it is dispat h d hurriedly and
