This plan leads to an excelleut nights
rest, with from six to eight hours sound
sleep. The dry toast or rusk may nave a
tablespoonful of spirit to soften it, which
VIII prove acceptable. Perhaps l did not
wholly escape starchy or saccharine matter,
but scrupulOuslY avoided milk, sugar, beer,
butter, etc. which were known to contain

tablespoonful of a special corrective cordial,
which may be called the Balm Of Life, in o

HE WAS A GREAT BREAD EATER.
my former dietary table was bread and
milk for breakfast, or a pint Of tea with
plenty of milk and sugar and buttered toast,
meat, beer, much bread (of which l was
always very fond, and pastry for dinner

and generally a fruit tart, or bread aud
milk for supper. / had little comfort, and
far less Sleep
By following Harvey's system in one year
Bantiug lost 46 pounds and reduced his
waist 1919 inches. His health was so
greatly improved that he had los. even
the feeling OF occasional faintness," which
annoyed him after he had fully entered
upon the cure.
That occasional faintness." How we'll
i'll after years l came to know it, when l fell
victim 70 that disposition to eorpulence
which l inherited from both parents. 1t was
natural that l should first turn to Banting's
book to guide me back into the lost path of
leanuess. Carefully l followed his dietary
card for two weeks, keeping constantly out
doors and on foot. lost fourteen pounds
in weight in that time, but was then obliged
to take to my bed and call in a doctor. I
was suffering from weakness and dsrange~
ment of the digestive organs. Moreover.
had strange, pimply eruption over the
body, caused, the doctor said. by i'm
poverlshment Of the blood owing to lack of
nutritious food.
A DOCTORS GUIDANCE IS NEEDED.
Banting expressly says: 81 do not rec
ommend every corpulent man to rush head
long into such a change of iet-(oertainly
not-but to acs advisedly and after full
consultation with physician"
rushed headloBg" into the change of
diet without consulting a physician and
suffered accordingly. AT the same time L
know the Banting cure is not lasting unless
the diet is continued. My fourteen
pounds which | had starved off me SO
painfully fairly gslloped back at the first
square meal l took upon recovery.
By the Banting system OF reduction more
weakness Is superinduced than by any other
within my knowledge. With the loss of
flesh the hands become wrinkled as in age,
and most serious drawback of all for the
gentler sex, the face becomes positively
haggard and gaunt. The flabby cheeks drop
loosely down on the corrugated bag of flesh
which was once a double coin. The nose
becomes blue and pinched, the skin on the
forehead gets stretched aud frightened, and
the eyes bulge QUO as their bed of flesh is
withdrawn. To sum up. the Banting cor
puience cure improves the figure, Dut spoils
the face by giving it that d" lean and
hungry look which Cassius wore.
