DIET THAT CURES CONSUMPTION
BY 8. }. Kendall, NJ. o., Geneva, Oh.

The most certain method ever adopted
for the cure of the Great White
iHfds ue is through tne diet used as per
directions given below which can he taken
at home and comes within the reach Of
the poor as we'll as the rich.
The modus operandi is to force the
body to take on fat, a desideratum long
felt by the medical profession, but never
before attained to.
During the last Is years I have pre-
scribed this diet in hundreds of instances
and where directions have been followed
strictly it has raised the weight and in
creased the strength and vitality of the
patient rapidly up TO a normal condi-
ton. thus enabling nature to assert her
sovereign right to be the dominating force
i'm the body and the germs causing con-
sumption ave been overcome and the
cure accomplished. Some have gained a
pound a day and would gradually take on
less until they would not increase in
weight more.
The all important thing is to drink large
quantities of milk s~trippings (the very last
OF the milking). This seems so simple
and easy that many have refused to fol-
low directions and demanded medicines
to cure them; but there has not yet been
discovered any medicine that is a spe-
cific for consumption.
To get best results a healthy COW should
be selected, one that does not cough and
one that gives very rich milk. A Jersey
cow is preferable. The milk should al
WAYS be tested to be sure that there is
a large per cent OF cream in ii.
The last quart should be MIXED into a
separate dish which rests in a larger yes
sci containing warm water just sufficient
to prevent the ~strippings from cooling be-
low blood heat. The cow should be thor
oughly leaned to prevent any dirt get

back the froth and drink at once without
stralning as this cools it too much.
Begin by drinking nearly a pint In the
morning and the same at night and in
crease the quantity gradually so that in 10
or Is days a full quart will be taken twice
a day. 1t should be taken Immediately
after milking before it has had time TO
cool any. All should be taken that can
&c without TOO mucn discomfort and then
rest two or three mute and drink more
and rest again, and so on until a full
quart has been taken as soon as ii can be
conveniently. In about Is minute the pa
tient should eat at the table such articles
OF food as are known to agree with the
stomach. At noon eat as usual.
When the strippings are not allowed to
cool below blood heat and taken imme-
diately after it is MIXED a full quart will
be transferred into the circulation in a
remarkably short time.
/ never have seen a case but could take
the ~strippings without any discomfort
worth mentioning when above directions
were followed strictly, although some
nave declared they could not before try
ing it: but when they delayed taking for
half an hour and the milk had cooled 10
degrees, l have seen half a pint make
them very sick. The great secret of sue
cess with il is in taking it Immediately
after milking and not allowing it to cool
below blood heat, taking a full quart
morning and evening, and having milk
thai is very rich.
1t is easy for those on a farm to carry
out this method, and on several occasions
parties who lived in the city purchased a
suitable cow and after complete recovery
in every instance, they sold the COW for
nearly as much as was paid for her.
| do not remember any case that fol-
lowed the directions strictly that was not
cured. but several persisted in declaring
they could not take it until so much val
liable time was wasted that they lost their
lives by 1t.
| have found the same diet when above
directions were carried out carefully,
equally successful in increasing the weight
and strength of those run down and de-
bilitated from other causes.
