A Diet of Lean Meat and Water.
Life and health can be sustained indefinitely on a diet of lean meat and water, according to Professor J. W. Good, of the Manitoba Medical college. The servants of the Hudson's Bay company in the Athabasca district and in the Mackenzie river region depend entirely on the natural food supply of the country, some living on meat alone and some solely on fish. Great bodily and mental vigor has been retained on such a diet for periods of twenty or thirty years, with singular freedom from constipation and indisposition of every kind. Scurvy has appeared only where salt meat has been provided for winter use.
