Eat What You Like.
From the Phil dol mia 1noufrer

All Of US like the advice which suits our
own desires. and that Is what most OF US
usually get except when we go to the
doctors. These medical gentlemen seem
to have f1endish delight In making their
patients uncomfortable. If man Is feel
ing badly 1t Is because he has not been
acting right. Therefore he must eat more
OF less las the case may beg, eat things
he doesn't like and refrain from drinking
what suits his appetite. He must take
more exercise, or not 30 much. must
change his course of life so far as possible
in the hope that when the drugs get
through with him he will be restored to
his normal condition. Well. the physicians
don't know everything. but they know
much more than the ordinary man about
hygiene, though apparently some OF them
know too much.
1t is admitted by most that medicine
Is purely an empirical science and that
much Is constantly being learned. The
doctor, but If all medical gent -emen were
substantially agreed upon a general course
Of procedure and treatment in specific
cases there would be less complaining.
But when a man is>told by one doctor not
to eat so much meat and another tells
him to eat all he wants, he becomes mys-
titled. Some doctors advise a man to re-
strict water drinking and others tell him
to drink all he wants at al times. And
so In a multitude Of ways the sick man is
apt to become confused. not to say dis
heartened, especially as he usually goes
for advice and treatment much too late
instead of taking warning at the earliest
symptoms Of disorder.
Prefacing thus much, 1t is interesting
to be told by DR.. c. w. Saleeby, one of
the most eminent biologists and scientists
of the world. that a man should, as q rule,
eat what he wants and as much as he
wants whenever he wants. Appetite is q
guide provided by nature for. the mainte-
nance Of health and strength. Thu animals
follow it implicitly and as a result we sell
dom hear of an animal having any diges-
tive troubles SO long as he has been al
lowed to select his own food. He thinks
that the case with man is the same. II
a man likes sugar, let him eat as much
as he likes unless there is some functional
disorder. Sugar is very essential to health.
II he likes nickles, let him eat them. And
he lays 1t down as a rule that It is un-
wise to curtail food simply because of an
Idea that one Is eating too much. Some
people require more food than others and
appetite is generally safe guide. There
Is much less harm from gluttony, So
called, than Is generally supposed.
