The tissue-wastes of the preceding day are replenished by the food eaten; so the body remains about the same in weight, no matter how much exercise be taken, or how much tissue is broken down. These tissues are very complex in their nature, and a variety of food is consequently necessary to restore the tissues destroyedfood containing a number of elements (the counterpart of the elements destroyed), being necessary to offset the waste. Proteid, fats, carbohydrates, and various salts are, therefore, necessary in the food; and no food that does not contain these constituents, in larger or smaller quantities, can be used by the body, or can be classed as a true food. Other things being equal, therefore, it may be said that a food is nutritious and capable of sustaining life in proportion to its complexitythe best food being one that most nearly supplies the wastes of the tissues. If an article of diet contains only one of the essential elements necessary for supporting life, the body, if fed upon it, will waste away and dieno matter how much of that food be eaten. In certain experiments conducted upon dogs, it was found that, when they were fed upon fate.g. they became round, plump, embonpoint, and yet died of inanition!

If a diet lacks these salts entirely, the body wastes away and dies of saline starvation. It will thus be apparent that foods very rapidly and very forcibly affect the state of the health, and even the life of the individual.
