If one will SubSiSt upon the above
named articles and can take from one

Of three to six months.
For the ordinary obese person would
suggest either Of the following menus:

If the patient is doing manual labor
the proteid foods such as milk, nuts,
fish and eggs should be increased &C.
cording to the work. If, however, the
labor is sedative. such as followed by
the average business man, the quaint
ties herein prescribed are sufficient
The breakfast should be taken an
hour after arising and the luncheon
not later than II noon and the dinner
not later than 6 p. III.
The symptom during the first two
Or three days may be that Of weakness
Of perhaps acute hunger, leaving the
impression Of under nourishment. This
will disappear after the third or fourth
day, and the strength will not only re-
turn to normal. but the body will feel
much more energetic than before, and
there will be a marked increase in the
powers Of endurance. If a person will
fight it out" for a week along these
lines favorable symptoms will develop,
and he will be aided by the mental
conviction that he is on the road to
success.
In many cases the cause of over
weight is too much meat and too much
starchy food, which is nearly always
followed by cOpiOus water drinking
with meals. Meat alone will not pro-
duce surplus fat. Meat being nitrog-
enous compound, it is used by the
body for building up the tissue and
cells. while the starches and sugars are
used to fill these cells. Thus meat pro-
duces an OvergrOwth Of cell structure.
and nature appropriates everything pos
sible with which to fill these. Meat or
all flesh food may in this way augment
obese tendencies.
If the menus herein prescribed
should entail too much deprivation or
craving for food. then the quantity
should be slightly increased until nor
NAL hunger is satisfied. provided enough
exercise or manual labor be performed
to consume the surplus.
Nature Is a perfect economist. She
draws a trial balance every day with
the fuel one puts into the furnace and
the amount Of work the human mech
anism performs.
The true science of human nutrition
is the ability to feed the body, both in
quantity and selections, upon the
things which it needs for the work it
does.
Persons following sedentary oc-
cupation should not eat such foods as
require hard manual labor to metabo-
lie If they do they are punished for
this error by being forced to carry
around lot of dead weight. which
they do not need. or by autointoxica-
ton tself poisoning,. which espresso,

to which medical men have given
separate names and for which they
prescribe separate remedies.
Health heing mans natural state,
overw .ght, sickness or any abnormal
condition meets with great resistance.
In other words. It is difficult to get
sick. Nature will tolerate the moderate
violation Of her laws for years uncom.

must come sooner or later.
