In the manufacture of this article there has been a considerable alteration of the physical properties of the Wheaten Meal by the conver sion of a portion of the Albuminoids into diastase, owing to which the starchy matter, in the process of cooking, is much more readily brought into a state of assimilation by the system. As an article of general diet it will prove of great value. It will also be of especial advan tage to invalids, children, and those persons-hav ing impaired powers of digestion, on account of the solubility of its contents and the conversion of a large portion into maltose during the pro cess of cooking.
