proper impression upon the nerves of taste so that the entire digestive apparatus shall be thorough ly prepared to carry he food sub stances through the successive steps of the digestive process the thorough chewing of the tood produces an abundance of what paw low calls appetite juice which is the best and most important juice formed bv the stomach hence food must be well relished and eaten with careful attention to very thorough mastication vital act vity in cold weather the vital fires burn brighter in cold weather the whole tide of life moves with greater activity the pro ces of digestion
