Show HO b RE 1 DAY I DR JAMES W BARTO 1 Talks About 0 A Typical Reducing DIet THERE is so much being said and written about overweight that the average Individual may wonder whether or not overweight can always be reduced to normal by simply cutting down on food lood without havin having to exercise or use gland extracts Now it can be said definitely that while every overweight individual can have his or her weight reduced by simply cuttIng down LL on food there are arc some who get part way down to normal and then lose Jose no more weight unless they take a more exercise or use some gland ex- ex t tract At AtThe The vast majority Dr Barton of 01 cases however I and they are due to overeating can be reduced to nor nor- norI normal normal I mal weight by cutting down on the food intake and increasing the ex- ex exercise no gland thyroid extract or orI I pituitary pituitary-is needed The thought then for lor every case of overweight at first anyway Is Isto isto to go on a reducing or I a reduction diet And the thought behind every re- re reduction diet Is not that the amount of food lood eaten will be all that the body will need for lor its work but but because the reduced or reduction diet does docs not supply the body's needs the body itself has to supply some food and so gives up some of the fat that it has stored By asking the body to supply some of this food or fuel fuel-a little every day of its stored up the fat weight of the body gradually and Ind dally daily becomes less The amount of 01 weight lost daily may not be more than three or four ounces but when this 3 or 4 ounces is Is multiplied by 7 week or 30 month it means a alo lo o d f 11 to 2 pounds each week or G 6 to 8 pounds each elch month Regular Foods Needed Thus when hen a physician makes out o or prescribes I a reducing ng diet for a patient he makes sure that there will be enough of the roods foods used daily that are needed to do the regu regu- Jar lar or routine work ot of the for body the work of digestion breathing the beatIng of the heart heart the circulation of the blood the Ule getting rid of wastes and other work and then letting Jetting the stored fat in the body be used up for lor any exercise the body does docs if it is only sitting or walking around the house or doing hard muscular muscular work The physician is careful in ar- ar arranging arranging ranging the diet that enough of each kind of proteins food starch starch- starches es fats lats liquIds minerals and vita vita- mins-is mins provIded The only dif dif- difference ference generally speaking is that the

every physic physician ln and patients are always warned that the boll boil should be allowed to point before any opening should be made if i at all The treatment of a boil is by heat hot compresses if possible or what is now being used to a great extent the the hot magnesium sulphate Epsom salts dressing The dry form of 01 magnesium sulphate is used which contains 12 per cent less Jess water than the usual crystal form Corm with which we are all familiar This is mixed with glycerine to form a thick Ulick paste put on gauze and applied directly to the boiL The paste absorbs moisture so should be kept well covered between ap- ap applications This paste can be left lefton eft efton eftI I on for severa several hours To increase heat and action of the magnesium sulphate a hot water Iter bag can be placed on top of the dressing When the boil points and is ready to open a sharp toothpick which has been dipped in carbolic acid is gently bored or drilled into the center of the boll
