Stran 18 - In the progress of starvation, however, it is not only the fat which disappears, but also, by degrees, all such of the solids as are capable of being dissolved. In the wasted bodies of those who have suffered starvation, the muscles are shrunk and unnaturally soft, and have lost their contractility ; all those parts of the body which were capable of entering into the state of motion have served to protect the remainder of the frame from the destructive influence of the atmosphere.
Stran 72 - Grass in a dry State, are sufficiently obvious. By this means all the Constituents of the Grass are retained in a State of Integrity; the Sugar, by the Absence of Water, is protected from undergoing Decomposition, the colouring Matter of • the Grass is comparatively little affected, while the soluble Salts are not exposed to the Risk of being washed out by the Rains, as in the common Process of Haymaking.
Stran 131 - IV. condition is proved by the tables previously given, in a striking manner, and the results now obtained amply sustain the idea supported by me some time ago in reference to the dietary of human beings shut up in poor-houses and places of confinement. It was then argued that, " in order to retain the human constitution in a healthy condition, variety of food should be properly attended to,"* and different species of diet were suggested as well calculated to supply a series of dishes to the poor.
Stran 32 - Indians, whose customary fare, as is usual amongst the tribe, had consisted only of vegetable food. They dined most luxuriously, stuffing themselves as if they were never to eat again. After an hour or two, to his great surprise and amusement, the expression of their countenances, their jabbering and gesticulations, showed clearly that the feast had produced the same effect as any intoxicating spirit or drug. The second treat was attended with the same result.
Stran 98 - Ibs. butter. By the present mode of comparison then it appears that, in every point of view, malt is inferior to barley as an article of diet for cattle, as it gives less milk and butter, and diminishes the live weight, instead of increasing it, which barley does under the same circumstances.
Stran 163 - ... or we must attribute it to the action of the yeast upon another element of the flour ; and if we admit that yeast is generated during the panary fermentation, then the conclusion would be inevitable, that another element of the flour, beside the sugar, or gum, has been affected.
Stran 69 - ¡ta growth than when it has shot into seed; for it is then that woody matter predominates — a substance totally insoluble in water, and therefore less calculated to serve as food to animals than substances capable of assuming a soluble condition. This is the first point for consideration in the production of hay, since it ought to be the object of the farmer to preserve the hay for winter use in the condition most resembling the grass in its highest state of perfection.
