MILK AS A DIET.
A Physician Proves a Theory by q
Personal Experience.

"A Physician Proves n Theory BY q
Personal Experience.
A medical man expresses the belief
that a person could live for any
length of time and take heavy exer-
else all the while on no other food
than sweet milk. His conviction is the
result of personal experiment. He
wanted to establish the fact that per-
sons convalescing from sickness may
grow stronger with no other nourish-
ment than sweet milk, and they are
not obliged to take something solid"
to eat, as SO many people imagine. He
holds that many convalescent has
gone into his grave as result Of over
taxing his weak stomach by putting
"solid" food into it; and he maintains
that the old belief as to bread being
the first essential of human life is
shown by his experiments to be erro-
neous. His test was to live thirty days
with only sweet milk as nourish-
ment. In the whole time he lost five
and half pounds in weight, but no
strength. He even attributes the loss
of weight to the warmth of the wealth
er and to excessive exercise on the BIZ
cycle and the daily manipulation Of
sixteen-pound dumb bells and other
heavy weights. He took more exer-
else than usual in order to test the
thing fairly. On the seventh day of
the experiment he ran several foot
races with skillful: runner and was
was beaten in each race. On the thir-
teenth day he again pitted himself
against the same runner and did the
best of the racing, which certainly
would tend to confirm his statement
that he lost no strength during the
thirty days test. He drank four pints
of milky daily during the last week.
He thinks healthy person should
take about five pints Of milk daily
when no other food is being taken.
His practice was to drink milk at in
tervals of two hours during the day,
commencing at z o'clock in the morn
ing and continuing until 10 at night.
After that he would take no more un-
til next morning.-New York CONNER
