OF Banting or starvation, as it should be
called, viii be tried in Mr.. Cleveland's
| case. Neither win there be undue ex-
crcises. He win eat and drink within
prescribed limits and will never
suffer from exhaustion. The dieting
menu, as has been followed in the case of
other distinguished patients, will proba-
bly, be something like this:
Breakfast-One cup OF tea or coffee with
little milk and sugar, six ounces three slices
of stale bread, three ounces; with butter one
ounce; two eggs or two or three ounces of
either fish or meat.
Dinner-Meat or fish eight ounces: vege-
tables, such as spinach, cabbage. strin gbeans,
asparagus, tomatoes or beet tops aud farina-
ceOus food. rice. hOminy etc. four ounces:
salad with plain dressing, two ounces fruit
ad libitum; wines book or claret in m0dera-
| ton.
| Supper-Two eggs or lean meat. six ounces:
| Said or radishes one ounce; one slice of
! stale bread, one ounce; fruit. four ounces:
/ DGlt wines III moderation. meat LIQUIDS to he
avoided.
| Even little fat of fresh beef and NUT
| ton can be taken. as it has been observed
| that animal fats do not make fats in the
| human body, but that of ham, bacon,
| fresh PORK and corn beef are forbidden
! simply for the reason that they are diff
| cult of digestion. A pastry, of course.
cannot be thought of for the same reason
| as well as for It's fattening qualities.
| Now a word as to other methods advo-
| Gated. All Banting or semi-starvation sYs-
| TENS have proven failures. That OF
! Banting himself, who was an undertaken
and not a physician, cOuspicuously so.
All OF his patients besides himself, as
| soon as they commenced eating heartily
| again after nearly starving to death,
gained back all the flesh they had lost
and many pounds besides.
| The Salisbury system, now in vogue in
| England, is probably the worst Of all
| Here tits No breakfast, but arising in
| the morning drink a bit of water as hot
as possible. Half an hour later eat one
| pound of beefsteak. chopped as fire as
possible, the outside warmed over the
| fire aud the inside quite raw. A little
| bit OF stale bread goes with the meat. At
| half past two another pint of water
| Nothing more until the next mornings
| hot water
BY continuing this process the adipose
| tissue is quickly reduced, but the mo-
ment it is stopped the patient quickly
regains all his lost flesh and considerably
more in addition.
Neither can anything be gained by SUI
| rating nor excessive exercise. This is
| instanced in the case of jockeys and
| fighters. Once the race is over and the
battle won. they Immediately stuff their
bodies with food and liquor and soon
regain all their lost flesh and much more
| besides.
Drastic treatment will not do as cure
for fairness, brought on as it is by some
trouble of a vital organ. If you have an
| injured limb you do not work it. On the
contrary, il is carefully nursed and cod
! died You should do the same with all
the internal organs when diseased, but
more especially the kidneys, which are
natures eliminators.
Over indulgence in sleep Is sure to bring
about diseased condition of the vital or
| gans, and more especially the kidneys
This. of course. leads to obesity. Numer-
GUS instances have been brought to light
to prove the truth of this proposition
! The most notable is that of the inventor,
| Thomas A. Edison He is not by any
means a fat man, but he demonstrated by
experiment how even he could gain flesh
| by sleeping. In one week he slept four
teen hours, and in the next twenty-five
| The result was net gain of six pounds
| in seven days A fat man should never
sleep over seven hours, and if he reduced
| that number to six, all the better.
There viii be no trouble with Mr.
| ClCveland's training, for such ! may call
it on this score He is an exceedingly in
dustrious man at all times and will be
now more than ever.
Flesh can also be made as well as melt
ed when no serious disease exists. That
was demonstrated in the case Of pugulist
| Jim Corbett, who gained seventeen
pounds in three weeks under my care
when training for his great battle with
John L. Sullivan.
The treatment for flesh producing, of
course, is far different from that of flesh
absorption An that is needed is care in
the selection of nutritious, digestible,
fattening food, regular hours of sleeping,
eating and drinking after the cause of
the waste in the system has been discov-
cred and the defect remedled.
