Corpuleacy.

DIR. Harvey. a great English authority
on the subject. considers that corpulency.
though oflen resulting from morbid ten
dency either inherited by an individual or
formed by his manner OF life. is oftener the
result OF diet OF food favorable 10 an I'M
due development OF fat. BY adhering to
such a diet the muscular tissues are starved
and the fatty tissues gorged. Consequently
by substituting a healthier diet. thl- trou-
ble is obviated and the balance restored.
The case of DIR. Harvey's celebrated pa
tent, Banting, is case in point. Mr.. Ban
ting had grown enormously fat and had a
fair round belly with fat capon lind"
and. perhaps, like the unfortunate gentle
man mentioned by sam Weller. had not
seen his shoes for many years. aud would
not have known his own legs. Besides hi
sense OF hearing had become much impair
Ell by the fat which had forced its way along
the delicate ear passages almost closing
them up. DIR. Harvey was recommended
TO him as good doctor for the cure of di.-
eases of the ear, and in all haste he repair
ed 10 him and laid before him his piteou~
condition. The doctor saw at once that
the disease of the ear was but the result of
corpulency, and accordingly with the glad
ly-accorded consent ofthc patient proceed
ed TO strike at it. He prescribed a course of
diet which We subjoin. which cfieciually
cured Mr. Banting. For breakfast Mr. r.
had Tour TO SIX ounces OF meat two
ounces of biscuit or toast. and a large CUP
OF tea without milk or sugar a. both OF
those articles tend TO produce fat lie
dined on ten or twelve ounce, of any u.h
except salmon; any vegetable except pc
tatoes and vegetable roots, any Kind of
poultry or yenison, and two ounce. of
toasted bread. accompanying hi> meal
with two or three glasses Of good red wine
sherry or Madeira. and avoiding cham
payne, port or beer. For supper he took
six or eight ounces of meat or fish aud one
or two glasses of red wine. and 80 10
bed. As Mr.. Pepys says. In short time
4 cure OF Mr.. Bantings' undue corpulcuce
was produced. and so great was his iny
that he wrote phamphlet sounding forth
Dr. Haryeys fame and Ms own happine..
and warning all who might suffer a, ne
had. aud actually created a new word In
the English language. JdntiHgis1a Dr.
Harvey remarks: when once ih.. body
has reached its full development In man
hood the quantity and qualify Of the food
should be regulated by the demand made
by the wear and tear Of the system. If
for instance, person, already sufficiently
stout, Is growing fatter and fatter, he Is
taking more fattening food than Is neces-
sary or safe, and must restrict hims elf If he

In reply to the statement that 1.-THE dali
ry makes poor pork" another writer. with
whom we entirely agree, saws:
The above statement Is too strong in
reference to the quality OF pork from the
dairy. The refuse OF butter dairy,
skinned milk, etc, makes very sweet
pork; but being in a liquid and soluble
state, this food is so easily digested and
absorbed by the sy stem, and the hogs grow
so fast upon full feed of it, that the pork is

corn or other solid food. The dairy is a
great resource for pork -making. and needs

cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-

saved by this application, and stimu-

of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
