"A true sweetbread is perhaps the most healthy meat that can be eaten, " said a doctor yesterday, "but you are never able to get it. The sweetbread proper is the pancreas, which is one of the most effective agents in promoting digestiĆ³n, but the sweetbread of trade is usually obtaiiied from the throats of cattle and is what is called the thyroid gland. This gland rests against the windpipe, and while its texture is similar to that of the real sweetbread it has not the same beneflcial qualities. But some butchers, in order to make money, pass off the salivary gland, that which furnishes the saliva, located in the cheeks, for a sweetbread. This is the most inferior substituto of all. The pancreas, or real sweetbread, is a most dainty morsel. It is of triangular form, while the sweetbreads obtained from the throat are of an oval form. But what is the use of inaking people dissatisfied? They have been eating thyroid and salivary glands for sweetbreada for years and have been satisfled. But then they have never tasted the real thing. "- :
