"THE LOSS OF THE TEETH.* Sir—l read with interest Mr. Mante!ey'» letter in the Hekald. Scientific wen state that, the entire wheat j?raiu contains all that is necessary to build and sustain the human. f'ramft. Tic fine flour now in use consists almost solely of .larch, which is not a fleshforming substance, but a heat-giving principle ©flood. The bran contains phosphates, of which tones arid nerves are so largely made -up, gluten or flesh-forming substance an I »ri in. a peculiar body, Which baa the character of a ferment, changing starchy matter* in such a way as to be more readily ab orb*d and utilised by the system in the act of diction. £ have heard it stated that tb» coarse bran used in making bread is difficult to digest, and in some cases it irritates. There was a firm, Messrs. .Chap, man and Co. (in London, I think!, Who, by the use of machinery, ground the bran at fine as white flour. I can speak from experience of the benefit to the teeth and nerves by using wheatmeal bread. Twenty rears ago I was a. great sufferer from toothache and neuralgia. For nearly that, period I have been entirely free from both, I think, sir, that if ftie public would use the wheatmeal bread that the bakers would bo able to: supply a cheaper loaf. I do not know what proportion of bran and sharp* there is in the wheat, but I have heard i* stated " nearly as much as the Sour." Flour is, I think, £14 per ton, sharps £5 7a 6d, and bran £5 10s. I canjremember com© years ago, on the introduction of fine flour in the making of bread, a leading doctor in Auckland expressing himself tints: "I wonder what the next generation will be like, for they are extracting the good from thtf wheat and giving it to the pigs."
