CURE OF OBESITY.
A Simple Course of Exercise and q
Restrictive Diet Accomplish
Wonders.

While general exercise is valuable, il
is not alone sufficient 10 aid those who
are too stout. particularly those an
noyed by embonpoint, but specific mo-
tons are necessary. Here is "A simple
exercise which works wonders. II
must be performed with the corsets
and long skirts Oft. Assume perfectly
upright position-thGt is, put the heels
together, the arms by the side and the
head high, and the spine curved TO
throw the chest out and the hips back.
Then touch the floor in front OF the
feet with the fingertips, without bend
ing the knees. Rise to the standing
position, and repeat 10 times. II there
is much fatigue, raise the arms over
the head before descending. TO soothe
and stimulate the nerves of the back.
This simple exercise has been known
to reduce the weight 20 pounds IN
three months. the greatest effect be-
ing over the abdomen.
At frs; there viii be n difficulty in
reachiag :he floor without bending the
knees. bat this can he overcome by
persistent effort, which adds interest
to what might seem monotonous and
meaningless. Drop the arms, and By
series Of up and down motions, like
pumping, the tense muscles Of back
and thigh will relont, and the hands get
nearer to the foor. At the end Of a
week the difficulty should be overcome
and supplencss gained.
When IL cores TO diet for obesity, the
rules are 50 much like those for dys-
pepsia and govt that inyalidiEm is sug-
gested. Primarily the ban goes out
against that wicked trio of sweets, fats
and starches. All are tabOoed. and that
means n diet so monotonously simple
that many'a one lapses into her former
state Of indulgence from WEAKNESS and
impotence.
There can be no candy. no enticinR
drinks from the soda water fountain.
, no sugar in coffee or tea falthough
saechGrine can be used. no desserts;
nor can there be anything fried. nor
mGyounaise, nor creamy thingx. nor
farinaeeoas. Vegetables that grow be-
low ground-plebeian vegetables. like
potatoes and beets-r1ust be left out
OF this spartan diet, and butter is for.
hidden. What is there left? Why,
this: \ cup Of hot water an hour be-
fore meals. none with food. fresh meats
except pork-and pulled bread. with
some indulgence In vegetables and
| fruit This q course II severe. but II
| IS only Necessary for n short time. and
surely will lower the weight. After 4
sufficient number Of pounds have van.
ished into thin air. more generous
diet should be gradually adopted
