Salted meat ia far lea nouriihing thu freeh, and far leu wholeaome. Wa will endeavor to explain why. The prat ervation of meat by mean of aalt hu been practioed from tim immrimnrial, and II on ut tha eimpkat method for this purpose. It de pendi for its ctlicienoy upon the desncation or drying of th tiasuea, at the salt nsad for this Dor- pot enter slowly into solution, deriving th moiature it requires lor this pnrpos from th fluids of the fleeh. Henoe it is that when dry atlt is atrowed upon freeh lean meat, it gradu ally diaappears in the form of a liquid brio. A th fleth Iotas its natural juioe, th fibtrs oontraot and tha meat lessens in bulk. Ths notion of tha salt, if a Urge quantity ia ap plied, penatraies aeeply, sua a mnoh u one third of the natural iuioe .of th meat often forced out of it. Tha preserva tion of meat by means of salt, therefore, may be explained to depend upon th separation of water, upon the exolution of air, and upon th saturation with salt of the juioes remaining in tha meat. Bnt meat thoush Dreervd in this manner tetinit putrefaction, anffers a not able lots of iU normal nntritiv properties, in. aamuch u th brio which gradually forms about it, oontain probably one-third or one-half of the nutritive tubatMoes (albumin, kreatin, phoa phorio acid, potash, ate.,) of th fleeh, whioh ara extracted along with the juices.
