ing menu, as has been followed In the
case OF other distinguished patients, will
probably be something like this:
Breakfast-One cup OF tea or coffee
with a little milk or sugar, six ounces I.
three slices OF stale bread. three ounces;
with butter, one ounce; two eggs or two
or three ounces of either iish or meat.
Dinner-Meat or fish, eight ounces.
vegetables, such as spinach, cabbage,
string beans, asparagus, tomatoes, or
beet tops and farinaceous food, rice,
hominy. etc, four ounces; salad with
plain dressing. two ounces; fruit ad libi-
tum: wines, hook or claret, in modera-
lion.
Supper-Two eggs or lean meat, six
ounces; salad or radishes, one ounce;
one slice OF stale bread, one ounce fruit,
four ounces; light wlhes I'm moderation;
malt liquids 10 be avoided.

Neither can anything be gained by
surating nor excessive exercise. This is
