    The best oatmeal wLicli can be obtained is the im- ported Irish oatmeal. It can be purchased of the first- class grocers in New York, but the author has not been able to find it elsewhere. It is more palatable than the Scotch or American oatmeal, the grain being much larger. The concentrated foods so industriously advertised are not recommended bj' the authorities. A certain amount of bulk is necessary, and the less nutritive por- tions of food perform a very necessary function in the process of digestion.
