Al. You should eat more oily and
fatty foods. sweets, pastries, starches,
highly cooked foods. pastries, gravies,
ham, pork, Gro., green ,, Vegetables, fresh
of distilled water daily, two quarts of
fresh milk and cream, and take a wine-
glassful of olive Oil after meals. Sleep
ten hours i'm the twenty -four and take
mild exercises during the day. Have
your room well ventilated at night and
eat every three hours. Walking and
swimming will tend to make the muscles
harder but will not increase the weight.
