Why don't it all disappear and leave an empty skull in say a month of brain work? Because the man rebuilds each day. If he builds a little less than he destroys, brain fag and nervous prostration result sure. If he builds back a little more each day, the brain grows stronger and more capable. That also is sure. Where does man get the material to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to think abcUl it, the rebuilding material must be in thw food and drink. That also is sure. Are tha train rebuilding materials found in , all food? In a good variety but not in suitable proportion 'n all. To Illuiitrs te: we know bones are made largely large-ly of lime and magnesia taken from food; therefore) tu make healthy bone structure we must have food containing these things. We would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make healthy bona structure in a growing child. Likewise :f we would feed In a skillful manner man-ner to insure getting what the brain requires for strength and rebuilding, we must first know what the brain is composed of and then select some article or articles (there are more than one) that contain tlie.se elements. Analysis of brain by an unquestionable authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phosphate (Phos-phate of Potash) 2.91 per cent of the total, 5.33 of all mineral Salts. This Is over one-half. Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phos phoric Acid combined" and Potash 7? 4 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable more than one-half of Phosphate Phos-phate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium ami Phosphorus (which join and make Phosphate Phos-phate of Potash) is considerable more than one-half of all the mineral salts in the rood. Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-silt, Potassium Phosphate Phos-phate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor and litis the power within itself to attract, by Its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life." Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes fur-nishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies this is the only law of cure." : The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fag because its daily loss is not supplied. On the contrary, if you eat food known to be rich In this element, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building. Mind does not work well on a brain that is broken down by lack of nourishment. A peaceful and evenly ioised mind Is necessary neces-sary to good digestion. Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, etc., etc., directly interfere with or stop the" flow of Ptyalin, the digestive juice of the mouth, and also interfere inter-fere with the flow of the . digestive juices of stomach and pancreas. ' 1 Therefore, the mental state of the individual has much to do (more than suspected) with-digestion. with-digestion. Bram is made of Phosphate of Potash as th principal Mineral Salt, added- to albumen ,- iM - 1 Pr. (i:-are-.Tuts contain that element as more than one-halt of all its mineral salts. A healthy brain is important, if one would "do things" in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the best and least understood part of himself. That part which some folks believe links us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has defined a way to make a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the previous day. Nature's way to rebuild is' by the use of food which supplies the things required.
