ITO intrust ones life to a few quarts
of milk day strikes the average per-
son as "A stiff proprosition, particularly
as many persons do not care for it, and
believe that it disagreeS with them. But
the nervous invalid. if wise. will cease to
object and simply follow directions.
FIRST, meat must be bauished from
the bill of fare, as it is nerve stimulant,
and therefore poisonous to an exhausted
nervous system. Butter, as much as
one can eat; vegetables. with some eX-
ceptions; fruits and milk must form the
diet if one would take the milk cure
and the milk must be im5ibed to the eX-
tent of three quarts a day in the be
ginning This is gradually increased TO
seven or eight quarts. Il should be
p0steurzed before using.
1T requires about a week to become
accustomed to it. For 4 few days one
feels pretty gaunt between meals. The
pitcher of milk besides ones plate be-
comes an object of deep aversion, and
one looks at steak and chops. Mt cereals
and coffee, with warnings unutterable.
After time, however, the victim be-
comes reconciled and even enjoys the
diet. restricted at it is.
Half an hour of more before each
meal the patient must prepare the stOln-
ach for food by drinking slowly three
glasses of hot 0r cOld-not iced-water

to each glass. Ten minutes should be
given to each glass to prevent the accu-
mutation of LIQUID in the stomach.
The vegetables that are excluded are
like the deadly sins, seven in number,
and are peas, beans, potatoes, tomatoes,
asparagus, rhubarb and carrots. Indeed,
the Index EXpurgatorius' is a lengthy
one. 1t fOrbids soup, eggs, tea, coffee,
cocoa, cereals, chocolate, pastry, fish,
cigarettes, beer and wine. Nuts and all
berries, alas! are excluded also from the
good things that one may enjoy. Other
fruits, however, are permitted freely.
Bread is to be eaten only as q We
hicle for butter, of which it is impossible
to eat too much. 1t should be unsalted,
and bali as large as egg is to be eaten
at every meal, as it is the most digestible
of the fats. Once a day Swiss or Cru
yIAre cheese is allowed. .----~---

tics designed to develop unused muscles
and normalize circulation, respiration
and heart action. The follower of the
milk cure must also learn to control her
thoughts and moods. and will herself
into tranquility Three or four times a
day she must lie down and relax every
muscle, become limp as Bunthorne, and
absolutely Danish thought. 1t becomes
easy after a while, and rests one i'm

Once adopted, the milk cure is seldom
put aside even after the acute need for
it has vanished, because it cOmmends
itself as a rational system of living
From the point of view OF economy, it is
ideal. One can fare sumptuOusly on 30
cents day, and the only drawback is
that it deprives one of the fun of won
