NEW BREAD.
Bread made out of wheat flour, when first taken out of the oven or skillet, is unprepared for the stomach. It should go through a change,, or ripen before it is eaten.. Young persons, or persons in the enjoyment of vigorous health, may eat, bread immediately after it is baked without any sensible inj ary from it, but weakly and aged persons cannot, and no one . can §at such without' doing harm to the digestive organs. Bread, after being baked,. gc bs through a change similar to the change in newly-brewed beer or newly-churned butter-milk, neither being healthy until after the change. During the change in bread it sends off a larg-e portion of carbon, or unhealthy gas, and imbibes a large portion or oxygen or healthy gas. Bread has, according to the computation of the physicians in London, one-fifth more nutriment in it when ripe than it has when just out of the oven. It not only has more nutriment but also imparts a much greater degree of cheerfulness. He that eats, old, ripe bread will have a much greater flow of animal spirits than he would if he were to eat unripe bread.—Family Doctor.
