DIR. Williams talked about all kinds OF
headaches-metabolic, neurotic. and the
rest Of them. He said most of them
are caused by food poisoning, by the in.
capacity of the system TO take care OF
what is eaten. He suggested the follow
ing remedies:
Eat dinner ut noon and take two hours
off from work for the meal.
Do not eat before retiring.
Eat meat. eggs. peas, beans. cheese
and other foods conta lining much protein
in moderate quantities.
Do not eat more than / IL grams of
salt. fifty grams of protein and four
ounces of meat per day.
a vegetarian is likely to suffer from a
lop-sided diet unless he has the guidance
OF dictetic expert.
Most meat has started to decompoSe
and disintegrate before it is eaten. This
is due to the long periods of cold storage.
Fat people who diet to get thin usual
ly have heada ches. They abstain from
which in turn cause the headaches. So
fat people had better quit dieting else
resign themselves to hea daches.'
