have particularized enough to.alIow IL.
A. 1t is our impression that you take
too little food and are, in all respects,
too abstemious. Abstemiousness is an
excellent thing in persons inclined to
obesity and plethora, or whose assimi-
| lative powers nre SO potential that
nearly all they eat and drink is
promptly converted into flesh and
blood. Such persons may judlciously
diminish the amount OF nutritious ali
mentz their appetite Graves, aud may
beneficiaIly abstain from the use of all
liquors except water. But the same
rule will not apply to persons of your
build, nature and temperament. You
need more of the vitali2ing material
than you indulge yourself in Mt pres
ent. Your system requires more
generous diet. You are simply killing
| yourself by inches under mistaken
idea that you are pursuing the road TO
health. IN the first place you need
more animal food. Acquire taste for
1t, and eat of it heartily at least once a
day. 1t would not be wise to make
sudden change, but accustom yourself
TO IL by degrees. Make up your mind
that You Will grow stronger and stouter
and enjoy excellent health, as soon as
you are able to relish Il solid meal OF
bread and butter, with mutton chop
or two, or piece OF tender and not
overdone beefsteak, with or without
potatoes, weak coffee or tea, &C., tor
| breakfast. About noon take a lunch,
| (some crackers or other light food, }
with a glass OF good wine. or better still,
q glass of ripe porter. Dine, If you
can, about five or six P. NJ, and let
your dinner be free one OF meat and
vegetables, mot pies and cakes and
such table frippery,) and before you go
to bed indulge in nothing more than a
cup of tea or a cracker or two, or some
stale bread. Pursue this course, eXer-
else all you can in the open air, and do
not altogether shun an occasional glass
OF spirits when you can get 1t pure,
and you will weigh one hundred and
forty pounds before the end of Il
twelvemonth and be altogether IA
sounder, stronger. more vigorous and
