CTICAL DIETETICS. By W. Oilman Thompson, M.D., Professor of materia medica, therapeutics,and clinical medicine in the university of the city of New York, visiting physi-cian to the Presbyterian and Bellevue hospitals, etc., (pages 142 and 143.) Dias-tase is a vegetable ferment which has the property of converting starchy foodsinto a soluble material called maltose. Like the ferments in the saliva and pan-creatic juice, it acts in alkaline solution, but, unlike them, it continues to operatein acid media and, therefore, its action is not disturbed by the gastric juice.Diastase is a peculiar substance which causes the ripening of fruits and vege-tables by converting their starches into dextrins and sugar; hence fruit becomesmore and more digestible as it ripens. Mai tine is made from three cereals—barley, wheat and oats. It is rich indiastase. It may be taken either plain, with cod liver oil, with coca wine, withpancreatin, with hypophosphites, etc., in tuberculosis and other diseases.
