clan, Tells How to Reduce Flesh.
From tho New York Tribune
Many stout people have drawn comfort
from the treatment of Prof. Schweninger,
the famous physician Of Prince Bismarck
He has reduced many q puffy cheek and
brought smiles Of satisfaction to many q
jolly face. At the request Of friends and
physicians he recently wrote an article on
his "anti-fat cure" which gives in con-
else terms the main facts about his treat
ment.
After recommending daily massage and
bathing the professor says:
As to the kind of massage to be used In
the case Of stout persons. It may be said In
general that the harder the massage Of the
fatty parts the better the effects The
pain often felt in the beginning of such q
treatment will disappear a rule in few
later a pleasure. AS to diet. the
principal nourishment should be meat-of
any kind, hot or cold, and fat or lean-hsh
oysters. caviare. Holsters, crabs, sausages
eggs, cheese, &c Next to be recommended
are bread, white or brown; fruit preserves
spinach. asparagus. cabbages. sauerkraut,
cucumbers and green salads. AS to drinks
water, soda water. fruit and lemon sirups
white wines and cider are to be recon-
mended. Herrings and smoked founders
may be substituted for oysters, caviare,
Holsters and fine fish. sausages for meat,
cabbage for asparagus, prunes for pre-
serves-aH articles which can be purchased
cheaply.
From this list It Is shown that the fol-
lowing articles of diet are to be avoided:
Soups, potatoes. turnips corn, macaroni,
rice. pastry. butter and fats $50 far as not
used in the cooking Of meat and vegeta-
bles). These liquids should also be avoided |,
Beer. red wines, milk, coffee, tea, choco-
late. cocoa and WHISTLES. The es-
sential thing in our treatment lies in the
strict differentiation Of individual cases. 1t
is advisable for the sufferer to accustom
himself TO small meals, taken often. II nee
essary, and to keep from drinking, as a
rule. when he eats. II we give corpulent
persons the same amount Of food which
they are used TO taking In two or three
meals In four. five or even more the result
the weight Heavy meals favor the
building Of flesh; small meals. on the other
hand. tend to have the opposite effect. - .
AS a matter Of course, the disappearance
Of the superhuous flesh shows itself more
or less In the face, making the person look
far from well. 1t L. little wonder IL the ma
tent is greeted by friends with, How in
you iook? A discussion often follows end
ing possibly with the remark, Beware of
such cures" 1t costs those people who see
health only IN puffy cheeks little trouble
to sow the seeds of discomfort. The ma
tient has unfortunately not always the
necessary iron will to resist these remarks
daily repeated, and begins to wayer in fol.
lowing out the treatment It Is therefore
necessary for the physician to use his on
tire influence to crush away doubt and on
courage the patients. Women are often
not to be consoled, however, because Of tbe
appearance Of wrinkles. 1t should be re-
membered that the skin cannot adapt it.

this difficulty may also be overcome
