dladoaad the te LJ (hey
Influenced to try the remedy by in-
structors in bacteriology who told
their classes that yeast would man-
ufacture an enzyme within the
body it is said
In construing the meaning of
word "enzyme” hearsay interpret-
ed it to mean a wonderf J tort of
mediator which made thin people
fat fat people thin and gave to all
a natural complexion of alabaster
and peach bloom -Accordingly
those who had the
will power and constitution to en-
dure courageously included fresh
yeast cakes in their diet "
Due to the fact that yeast is not
at all palatable and that results
teemed to come very slowly dis-
couragement has crept into the
ranks of the “Better Beauty" work-
ers and demand on yeast is back
at normal -
In answer-to an inquiry on the '
question Dr Gayfree Ellison said:
“Yeast will manufacture n enzyme
which will often cure boils but I
can’t recommend it as a substitute
for the fountain of youth and
beauty" —
