nut is useful for expelling worms.

_Wheat._

Whole wheat is a perfect food. In the form of white flour, however, it
is an imperfect, unbalanced food, on account of its deprivation of the
valuable phosphates which exist in the bran. Rickets and malnutrition
generally are the outcome of the habitual use of white flour, unless the
loss of mineral matter is counter balanced by other foods.

Only the very finest wholemeal, such as "Artox," for example, should be
used for making bread, etc. The ordinary coarse wholemeals are apt to
produce intestinal irritation.

_Cracked wheat_, soaked overnight in water and boiled for a couple of
hours, is a favourite prescription of American writers for habitual
constipation. It may be obtained at most large "Food-Reform" stores.

_Bran Tea._

Nervous or anaemic persons will derive great benefit from a course of
bran tea. It is made as follows:--To every cup of bran allow 2 cups
distilled water. Well wash the bran in cold water; it is generally full
of dust. Put in a saucepan with the cold distilled water, cover tightly,
and boil for thirty minutes. Strain, and flavour with sugar and lemon
juice to taste. Take a teacupful night and morning.
