The stomach, the nutrient arteries, the lungs, have no love, no patriotism, no pity; but they are perfectly honest.

The nutrient arteries will convert into living flesh just so much of the nutritive elements as the digestive organs give them, and no more.

The best evidence of a sound state of health will be found in the woman's clear open countenance, the ruddy tone of the skin, the full, round, and elastic state of the breasts, and especially in the erectile, firm condition of the nipple, which, in all unhealthy states of the body, is pendulous, flabby, and relaxed; in which case, the milk is sure to be imperfect in its organization, and, consequently, deficient in its nutrient qualities.

In proportion as respiration is impeded, is the blood imperfectly vitalised, and in the same ratio are the nutrient and other functions dependent on the blood inadequately performed.

In all the fluids of the body, water acts as a solvent, and by this means alone the circulation of nutrient material is possible.

Protoplasm has the power of appropriating nutrient material, of dividing and subdividing, so as to form new masses like itself.

One of these, especially constant and large in many bones, is called the nutrient foramen, and transmits an artery to nourish the bone.

In life they are richly supplied with blood from the nutrient artery and from the periosteum, by an endless network of nourishing canals throughout their whole structure.

As a solvent water aids digestion, and as it forms about 80 per cent of the blood, it serves as a carrier of nutrient material to all the tissues of the body.

The blood is so essentially the nutrient element that it is called sometimes very aptly "liquid flesh."

It must indeed be well nourished, and therefore the blood sent to it must be highly nutrient, capable of supplying oxygen freely.

"This," says Dr. Dunglison, "is the sole food of the infant, and is consequently sufficiently nutrient to maintain life, and to minister to the growth, during the earliest periods of existence."

" As the small opossum held in pouch maternal Grasps the nutrient organ whence the term mammalia, So the unknown stranger held the wire electric, Sucking in the current.

* The NEW VEGETABLE FOOD EXTRACT which possesses the same nutrient value as a well-prepared Meat Extract.

Another good nutrient medium is gelatine, wherein the comma bacilli form colonies of a perfectly characteristic kind, different from those of any other form of bacteria.

Again, if the nutrient medium become acid in reaction their growth is checked, at least in gelatine and meat infusion; but singularly enough, they continue to grow on the surface of a boiled potato which has become acid, showing that all acids are not equally obnoxious to them.

Alcohol first checks the development of the comma bacilli when it is mixed with the nutrient fluid in the proportion of 1 in 10, a degree of concentration which renders it impracticable for treatment.

Thus it was found that although vitality was retaineddepending largely upon the number of bacillifor a short time, yet withdrawal of the nutrient fluid for an hour or even less often sufficed; and it never happened that the bacilli retained vitality after a deprivation lasting twenty-four hours.

Hydroponics, growing plants in nutrient solutions without soil.

Foods from which it is desirable to extract the nutrient properties, as for broths, extracts, etc., should be put to cook in cold water.

Although it is true that there are brands of white flour which possess a large percentage of the nutrient properties of the wheat, it is likewise true that flour which contains all the nutritive elements is not white.

The salts and nutrient juices are largely lost in the water; and if this needs to be drained off, much of the nutriment is apt to be wasted.

And, nevertheless, gelatine contains a large quantity of nitrogen, which is one of the most powerful elements in nutrition; on the other hand, beef tea may be chosen as an illustration of great nutrient power in sickness, co-existing with a very small amount of solid nitrogenous matter.

"Not simply nutrient 1/4 oz. of the most nutritive material cannot nearly replace the daily wear and tear of the tissues in any circumstances.
