For Instance, one cannot rely upon the theory that the diet controls the man that the vegetarian is, by virtue of bis diet, meek and docile, while the confirmed and habitual meat eater Is n ferocious animal wtu n nroived. Mr. Brandon, In our block, is a consistent con-sistent vegetarlaa not only believes in It, but urges the merits of his system sys-tem upon his friends.
