Successful Cure For
Even Chronic Diabetes

of sugar from the INSTRUCTED tissues.
Nearly half n hundred human vio-
tins OF diabetes were given fast OF
from three to ten days with small
allowance Of tea, coffee, whisky and
water and fruits. Even the weakest of
the sufferers bore the fast well, were
able to take walks Of many miles daily
and to run UP and down stairs. They
began to Improve and gave pronounced
proof that they had been more afflict-
ed with poisons than from any lack OF
nourishment.
The Diet Indicated.
This fast seemed to clear away the
cinders and readust the motor because
more liberal diet was allowed after
the starvation. whenever there oc-
cured a restoration of the sugar ex-
cess q one to three days fast was re-
established and the sugar was thus
again eliminated.
When diabetes have returned TO any
thing like normal they are permitted
eggs. They may, under restriction, have
butter and olive oil. When they note
any return OF their symptoms, however,
they must again resort to heroic meas-
ures. The amount Of starches and sug-
ars In various foods are:
rive per cent-Lettuce. spinach, sauer-
kraut, string beans. celery, cucumbers,
brussels sprouts. sorrel endive. dande-
rhubarb, egg plant, lee5s, watercress,
radishes. beet greens. cabbage, kohlrabt.
and vegetable marrow.
Ten per cent-Onions. squash, carrots,
okra and beets.
Fifteen per cent-Green peas, nrti-
chokes, parsnips and canned lima
beans.
Twenty per cent-Potatoes, shelled
beans. baked beans, green corn, boiled
rice and macaroni
The percentage OF starches and sugar
In fruits and nuts are calculated al

Five per cent-Ripe olives. grapefruit.

Hitherto this lamentable disability OF

wholly fresh conception Of this enduring
distemper has arisen.
