Following the banquet, in which one hundred and fifty guests participated, 

 a programme of toasts was responded to, the Rev. George H. Rowe of Grand 

 Rapids, presiding as toast-master, introducing the various speakers in clever 

 verse. In asking the guests to drink to the health of Dr. Kellogg he referred 

 to him as the man who was doing so much to heal his fellowman. In his 

 response, Dr. Kellogg said simply: "A doctor cannot heal. God only 

 heals." But added that it was the object of the institution to help lift up, 

 to restore and to comfort and that he took great pleasure in welcoming 

 so many real men and real women to the institution. 



"You represent by your choice of avocation," said he, ''the real return 

 to nature movement. Whatever there is to day in the world of real sweetness 

 and beauty is in the country. The drift toward the city leads to degeneracy 

 and disease; leads to more hospitals and more asylums. In inviting you 

 here tonight we had a double purpose — to do you honor and to show j-ou 

 how good the products of your own fields are and how many of them are 

 at their best 'first hand.' The world has grown too artificial in its matter 

 of food. We neglect to get our food from its original sources. In two 

 red apples there is 50 per cent more nourishment than there is in a pint of 

 oysters. We take great pains to have our water free from typhoid germs 

 and yet men eat oysters — who live on slime and are filled with typhoid 

 germs. At a Masonic banquet a week or two ago, two men died and four 

 may not recover, from the effects, I am told, of eating oysters. We are 

 most inconsistent and unwise in our choice of foods. We do not use real 

 'horse-sense.'
