HAS, NEW CURE FOR OBESITY
English Physician Has Formulated
Theory Which Seems to Be
Founded on Fact.

DR.. Galisch. an English physician.
in recommending a new treatment for
obesity, states u new fact. His treat
ment is dietary as follows: In the
morning the patient takes q cup of
tea. with buttered bread. and II he Is
too hungry to wait for luncheon he
takes an egg. with a small piece Of
bread and butter, at 10 O'Clock.
At 1 o'clock the meal consists Of
meat. vegetables. salad and a COM
pote. In the afternoon he takes cof-
fee. with a little biscuit or white bread
with butter. In the evening he gets
simply small piece OF bread and but
ter.
At the first breakfast and the mid
day meal the amount taken must be
sufficient for the patient to leave the
table completely satisfied. For the
first two or three days the patient
feels very hungry In the evening, but
this quickly passes of. and he soon
gets Into the habit of eating more at
the FIRST two meals. this excess OF
alimentation being counteracted by
the exercise and work done during
the afternoon.
The whole idea OF the treatment is
that II is the food taken In the even
ing and followed by the repose OF
night which particularly contributor
