...rate of six miles an hour, seven times as much. The increase is shown, perhaps, in a more striking way by Parker, estimating the different amounts in cubic inches. The flow of blood through the lungs is much less rapid when one takes little or no exercise; and the carbonic acid will not be removed from the system in so thorough a manner. If a man then is obliged to lead a life which deprives him of the chance of getting a fair amount of physical exercise, he should, if he wishes to keep himself in health, reduce the amount...
Starch is a compound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, each of them an essential constituent of the body. All food should be well masticated, and the proportion of vegetable and animal foods eaten carefully considered. When a portion of food, or drink, saliva, or any other substance has been carried back past a certain point on the posterior part of the tongue, it is completely out of our power to resist swallowing. After leaving the mouth the food passes through the oesophagus to the stomach, which is a hollow muscular organ, and provided with a number of glands which produce...
...food, as it comes from the base of the brain, and endurance must be sought for in other kinds of food. To reduce the weight of a man in training lean meats may do, but when he is down in weight he must go back to food containing more carbon, such as ham and sausages, which should always be eaten cold. Three years ago this would have been considered ridiculous by trainers, but for a diet for running, walking and rowing, it has been found that saccharine food, with beef or mutton, is the best ; tea, coffee and alcohol...
...premises; if it should be decided by the faculty to use the Incandescent lamp, there are many things to be considered before a hasty adoption. The Arc light is entirely outside of the enquiry. Then comes the question, which is the best and why? The Incandescent lamps with a carbon filament are easily destroyed, and there is more or less danger of fire on account of the amount of power used, which requires the larger wire to convey the electric fluid. The best carbon is the cylinder carbon, which has a much greater illuminating surface and consumes only one quarter...
...Sargent began his lecture yesterday by stating that the principal elements that sustain life are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, and that various kinds of food possessed these qualities in different degrees. The world's greatest scientists have devoted themselves to classifying foods according to their chemical compounds and effects on the human body. But no table of nutritives can be accurate in its application, as the nervous and muscular tissues are not the same...
