571. Food should be prepared in such a way that it will be appetiz-

572. At one time Doctor-----tried to teach our family to cook
according to health reform, as he viewed it, without salt or anything
else to season the food. Well, I determined to try it, but I became so
reduced in strength that I had to make a change; and a different policy
was entered upon with great success. I tell you this because I know
that you are in positive danger. Food should be prepared in such a way
that it will be nourishing. It should not be robbed of that which the
system needs....
I use some salt, and always have, because from the light given
me by God, this article, in the place of being deleterious, is actually
essential for the blood. The whys and wherefores of this I know not,
but I give you the instruction as it is given me.—

and other things of a like character irritate the stomach and make the
blood feverish and impure.—

574. I was seated once at the table with several children under
twelve years of age. Meat was plentifully served, and then a delicate,
nervous girl called for pickles. A bottle of chowchow, fiery with mus-
tard and pungent with spices, was handed her, from which she helped
herself freely. The child was proverbial for her nervousness and irri-
tability of temper, and these fiery condiments were well calculated to
produce such a condition.—[
