...have seen that oxygen for the most part is taken in through the lungs, and the act which they perform taking it in is called respiration. At the back of the mouth are two passages leading downward, the one in front going to the lungs. The act of breathing requires that this trachea, as it is called, should be kept open all the time, so there are placed in its walls rings of cartilage which are incomplete in some part of their circumference. The epiglottis, fastened to the back part of the tongue keeps food from falling into the windpipe...
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...
...body at the same time. A man who runs a mile in say five minutes, gets as much exercise as the one who walks five miles an hour.

A recent daintily printed and brightly written volume is 'Sly Ballades in Harvard China.' We sincerely wish our space would permit a few clippings from it. We must, however, refer our readers to the book itself...
...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...
