FOOD.
Its chief contention is that the fruits, nuts and grains, with a fair proportion of fresh and preserved vegetable productions (with or without the products of animals), are wholesome and pure. That flesh meat contains the germs of diseases to which animals are subject and contain the thick, venous blood, a substance so poisonous that it will cause blood poisoning whenever it comes in contact with the arterial blood of the body. That by avoiding the butcher’s meat and living on the pure foods provided so abundantly in the Vegetable kingdom a higher degree of health and strength can be obtained; a longer life and greater freedom from irritation and nervous exhaustion, under pressure of business or professional labor.
The principles of humanity towards animals and the effects of pure food in promoting man’s ethical and spiritual progress are also discussed in this magazine.
