212 MAN, THE ANIMAL 



skilful in satisfying this need but not in doing 

 away with it. If it could be greatly modified, then 

 we should have something different from life as 

 it now exists in man. 



This does not mean that more will not be 

 learned about the detailed utilization of energy 

 by the human body. We are still in the dark 

 about how food molecules are actually synthetised 

 into protoplasm and just how protoplasm extracts 

 energy from sugar or fat. A great deal of prog- 

 ress can be made in these bio-chemical studies that 

 will reveal eventually these obscure details. It is 

 a task not for the charlatan or quack but for the 

 man with great skill and training; and when the 

 results become known, they will not be patented 

 but given freely to advance our knowledge of man 

 which is the supreme aim of biological science. 

 Until such revelations are made, one can apply 

 what is already known about how the body satis- 

 fies its need for food energy. No one has ever 

 made a valuable discovery in this special realm 

 which is not known by all reputable doctors the 

 world round. There is not a single patented food 

 product known to the writer that yields a special 

 brand of energy nor one that is as valuable as the 

 natural foods. 



The time has come in codifying the results of 

 scientific discoveries when emphasis should be 

 placed on the significance of these basal discov-
