As we have seen, bread, and especially dry bread, evokes secretion of considerably larger quantities of saliva than meat.

It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence, to avoid wasting time and labour, and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible, made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in respect to their patients.

But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods.

While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things.

It is not accidental that all phenomena of human life are dominated by the search for daily bread - the oldest link connecting all living things, man included, with the surrounding nature.

Learn, compare, collect the facts!

Possibilities are like the wings of birds; they allow man to soar and to climb to the heavens. And facts are like the atmosphere against which those wings must beat, and without which the soaring bird will surely plummet back to earth.
