became so overloaded that he readily
succumbed to disease at forty-five. The
wonder was that he lived so long. He
was a type of the average well-to-do
citizen. Like him, most of us eat too
much. Diet should depend upon tenn
permanent and vocation. At hard work
out of doors one requires more nutri-
ment than at sedentary labor indoors.
A gradual reduction in diet, even an oc-
casional fast. will cure many ordinary
ills. Add deep breathing, fresh air,
body building exercises, plenty of sun
shine, water inside and out, and it is
astonishing how much better one feels.
