Any one who Is really in earnest in
regard to diminishing obesity can do
so without risk, by combining, in due
proportion, the principal remedies for
corpulence-irst, reducing somewhat
his allowance of sleep, and sleeping
only on mattress, not in the too
downy feather bed secondly, increas-
ing in moderation the amount of active
exercise taken by him, especially open
air exercise thirdly, diminishing some-
what (but Systematically the quantity
of solid food he takes fourthly, by
diminishing largely his consumption of
butter, beer, bread, milk, sugar, pota-
toes, and pastry; filthy, by the use of
the rough towel morning and evening,
to stimulate the circulation; and last
ly, perhaps chiefly, by limiting the
daily allowance of liquid food as far as
his constitution will safely permit.
But to follow severely one or two only
of these useful methods is to make the
reduction of fat much more difficult,
much more painful, and far less sure. "
