Professor R. ]-I. A. Plimnieiv D.Sc. (Loud.), in his book "Food, Health, Vitamins," states:—"lndirectly there is evidence that the majority of white bread eaters are short of vitamin B. Those who have tried the effect of regularly taking germ bf wheat have been astonished at the feeling of improved health ano energy which they have experienced. They no longer have to take medicine to relieve constipation: chronic ailments, not previously suspected to be due to diet, have disappeared, especially have disorders of the heart and digestive system responded to treatment with additional vitamin B. in the form of germ of wheat. Cases of chronic rheumatoid arthritis have been benefited by taking germ of wheat in conjunction with other treatment. General improvement in health occasioned by taking additional vitamin B points clearly to the inadequacy of the ordinary diet." Germ of wheat is obtainable in lib bags at 4d per lb at the Sanitarium Shop, 698 Colombo street, Ghristclrorch. .—l
