Persons are too apt to think that bodily strength depends upon the nature of the food we eat.

In India we have a feeble race, living chiefly on rice.

On the other hand, in China, for bodily strength, few can compare with the Coolies.

For many years in Scotland the majority lived on oatmeal, while in Ireland they lived on potatoes.

We do not wish to argue anything from these points, but to bring them forward for consideration.
