ear of I 1 age height 1 5 feet feit 0 11 inches pounds consulted physician his in an eft effort rt to rid himself of his ex I 1 j cess cesi weight hemas he was carefully ex examined anda tobe in good alood health although I 1 his blood pressure was above normal a i common condition in overweight A metabolism test was mas made rate the body poc processes esses I 1 i work and awas it was 1 found that they were i I 1 FV about the chii normal i rite rate in many cases cases i 1 14 1 I 0 ot o i overweight t the body processes work too slowly and do not burup up i cibis cess food or tat such wis wa not the th condition I 1 in t this h I 1 a K 1 I 1 1 case I 1 aa As 1 there aithus as thus dr barton no reason to use thy Irold extract the patient tient was i given thenia then the new iw weight re ducong drug dat dl 0 O phenol and in ini a period of often ten weeks he delost alost bo 30 pounds naturally he wai was pleas pleased ed with this s satisfactory loss of weight but ata this time proven cases of cataract due to the use ot of dini tro phenol were being reported in the medical journals it aas was estef estimated bated i that I 1 in I 1 1000 berha perhaps s evell in users I 1 of this drug to reduce weight were being afflicted with cataract the physician promptly stopped b I 1 using the drug I 1 the he physician then used thyroid extract but it had hadj little or no I 1 effect effects upon the and caused the hert heart already a fast heart to beat much faster the then discuss edthe case with an authority on weight re educing giving hini him a full history of I 1 the case to date this authority made two k suggestions the first suggestion was that the I 1 i use ifan af an gerior pituitary eintract x might be helpful which would depend of course on whet whether fier i the individual ws was over weight when the pituitary t i gland lying on the floor of the skull is not sending g enough juice jul ce 11 atai thi the bloc blood d not only ire the a not used or r burned I 1 completely but ut t th e fat that accumulates accumulate sIs Is hot spread pread equally over the whole body 1 as when the thys rold juice Is lacking put hilj him i in hospital the second I 1 i suggestion was that the physician should place this over weight in hospital thai is treat hira him ii as a R patient atiqi nt for foi after all he wis was i st a patient fast heart high blood pressure and excessive overweight easily tired and got out but of breath on slight exertion As aa treatment iby by might leadmo serious results ilin even death deatha and thyroid extract hid had no effect except to increase the rate of gislie beat and increase his blood I 1 pressure the I 1 only treatment I 1 that rimal remained ned cut down on his hist 1 food intake A useful procedure in hsuch cases when the patient Is able to afford it and vin withdraw himself from home business and social life is to the prescribed die diet under supe ry i a hospital for a 2 week or two T J 1 I believe the suggestions tor treat ment odthe above case ase aul wul appeal to or our common sense elc excess ess weight can be due to id only one cause the batt eating j of ofton too much food tor for the requirements ts of the body a a a starch fods Foods tor for diabetics before ithe discovery of af insulin the II 11 lives ve a of diabetics were were prolonged by feeding them just enough starch I 1 foods sugar bread potatoes potato es to maintain life afe they were thus very 1 weak when insulin was discovered by dr defred fred banting tt it was found that diabetics could eat mora starch foods as the insulin enabled the blood to carry car and use the starch I 1 foods todd for the work of the body instead s of having it thrown body in the th e urine now mow insulin n is expensive and ana mus must be administered bythe hypodermic 1 needle which of course the patient leams to do for him himself selL therefore research nien men have been trying to increase the I 1 amount of starch fo food od the patients body ca can aie use BO that less lesi insulin willbe nee essa essary ry dr J M itch montreal M on treal in inthe the journal of the ical bial Association records his experiences in
