discoveries that I 1 have made but simply to beat my humble testimony in relation to a gui gil abject ec that has been previously laid be before the he public bubli 0 through the medium of f the news new and which w has been spoken of by our leaders I 1 refer to the subject of diet and more particularly to the counsel that has hat beem been given respecting graham flour I 1 have personally experienced and also obber observed ved in my iny family very beneficial results from its use I 1 have also aiso heard from others who have used it testimonies to the same effect among the last discourses of president kimball he stated that it was his belief that the finer the flour we wb ate the shorter outlives our lives ilves would be it has been asserted by professors of chemistry and physiology that in fine flour the tho elements necessary formation of braini brainy ac are to a great extent extracted in the tee shape of bran and shorts short and sand consigned to the swill awill bar reLand fed to hogs not being a practical chemist I 1 am not prepared to testify understandingly to the truth of the above statement I 1 most earnestly recommend all to use in some form or other at least a portion of this flour I 1 am confident that those who are affected with constipation sti of the bowels would be much i bene fitted by its use and it ibis is my z ion low that ahls this complaint ilke 1110 like ilke 0 some others thattie tha that taie tale are popularly termed corm comm corn mon does not receive that attention which its importance demands dr graham in his able work entill entitled e d the the tho science of human life in 11 speaking 1 on this subject says page arrhe the regular netlon action of the bowels idof ia of the utmost importance to health the evils both bodily and mental resulting from habitual costiveness are able aw andyes and yet there is reason ta believe that this habit of bod body Y is 16 exceedingly umon common in civil 11 life ilfe fe and particularly with young youn females mothers and all ail who have he the care of young children and youth of both sexes ought to toi i pay great grent r attention to this matter for they may be assured that ahat it cannot be neglected without much hazard to the health and life of the young habitual costiveness predisposes to dyspepsia pulmonary consumption nervous disorders headache insanity and indeed almost every distressing disease that flesh is heir to and when it does not actually developed deve dev elope fope disease in youth it lays a d deep eap and immovable foundation for it in after life everybody should have a regular and free action of the bowels once in every twenty four hours an and d the dietetic and other habits shoula should be so regulated as to secure this natives of scotland and other parts of the earth who have been accustomed to its use will I 1 think admit that porridge rl d t e E made of this flouri flour when well boiled boived over a brisk fire makes a very good substitute A dish of this kind with a little good milk although I 1 have partaken partaker par taken of it constantly for several months together it is to me indeed a luxury this Thit article is not so extensively used aa as I 1 think it ift ought to be for I 1 am convinced thaties general adoption as an articie article of diet would prove a bessing to the community I 1 have taken
