Suggestions for Fat People.

1t is Brillat- Savarin, we believe, who,
in his immortal book on gastronomy,
AYERS that no one is entirely satisfied
with his weight; every one wants to be
somewhat fatter or somewhat leaner; or,
if he or she really is just about as he
would be in this respect, he imagines a
tendency one way or the other which he
feels he must be on his guard to correct.
There is enough truth in this to make
it an object for that enterprising class of
individuals who make their money out
of the weaknesses of their fellows to
advertise pretty constantly various Sc
cret producing and Embarrassing
nostrums. The extraordinary sale of
Banting's famous pamphlet, which
reached 10000 or 10000 copies, attests
the same, and almost every year there
is some new remedy offered to the reg
ular profession, either to make fat or
to dispense it.
The larger class, or, at any rate, APP
parently the more anxious class, are
those who are too fat, and who wish to
grow leaner. Of the various drugs pro-
posed to accomplish this, acids, in the
form of vinegar, and alkalies, especially
liquor potass@, are the best known. No
doubt both these produce the effect de-
sired, but they both do it at the cost of
profound disturbances of the nutritive
functions, and, in many cases, serious
danger to life. .s.-.
Recently DR.. Tarnier has called atten-
ton to the success of milk diet in
these cases. He commences by allow
ing three-fourths the usual food and one
liter of milk the first day; one-half the
usual food and two iters of milk the
second day; one-fourth the food and
three iters of milk the third day, and
thereafter four iters of milk daily and
nothing else. Often, however, it is bet
ter to allow a small proportion of the
usual food each day, to prevent the pa
tient becoming tired of the milk
Should diarrhea set in, the milk should
be suspended for while and then re-
sumed. The treatment may be contin-
ued until the fat is reduced. DIR. Tar
nier claims that this treatment is always
successful, and entails no danger what
ever.-Medicdl and Surgical Reporter
