Science can not at present trace all the changes a piece of meat undergoes from the time it enters the body till it leaves it. There are no doubt very many intermediate bodies formed of which we are as yet ignorant. But we do know part of the story. The meat is digested or changed to blood albumin; this is assimilated or built up into the different parts of the body, and is finally broken down and expelled in forms of relative chemical simplicity.
