I am not sure, however, that "C.W.P." is entirely right when he advocates that we all should take our meals without any liquids. As I understand it, some persons need liquids with their meals for reasons of satisfactory digestion, whilst others, on the contrary, should carefully avoid these, and "C.W.P.," by the way, may not be aware that Sir Thomas Lander Brunton, M.D., strongly advised against tea being drunk with butcher's meat, and I think I have read that the same rule should be applied to vegetables m both cases, of course, because of the heavy percentage of tannin in tea. As regards "HnngryV letter, I share his surprise that whelomeal bread is not sold. Years ago (nearly twenty, I should say), there was a "baker in tlie city who sold it. But he did not deliver. It was most delicious bread; its only fault was that it was difficult to stop eating it. There is a line business awaiting any baker wlio will mako ii specially of genuine wholemeal bread, and deliver it. As it presumably goes through fewer processes than white bread, it should, apparently, be cheaper to tho consumer.—l ani, etc.,
