Show HO HORE RE DAY DR JAMES W. W B BARTON About 0 O OA A Typical Reducing Diet THERE pHERE is so much being said 1 and written about overweight that the average individual may mOlY wonder whether or not overweight can always lYs be reduced to normal by simply cutting down on food without having to exercise or use gland extracts Now it can can be said definitely that while every overweight individual can have his or her 5 weight reduced by simply cutting down dO 4 on food there are some who get only part W way lY down to normal and then lose no more weight r- r unless they take more exercise or use some gland ex cx- tract The vast majority Dr n Barton o of cases however and they are due to overeating can be reduced to normal normal normal nor nor- mal weight by cutting down on the food tood intake and increasing the exercise exercise ex ex- creIse no gland extract thyroId extract thyroid or pituitary pituItary-is is needed The thought then for every case of overweight at first anyway is isto isto isto to go on a reducing or a reduction diet And the thought behind every reduction reduction reduction re re- re- re diet is not that the amount of food tood eaten will be all aU th that lt the body will need tor for its work 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 tood or fuel fuel fuel-a a little every day of its stored up fat the fat a the weight o of the body gradually and daily becomes less The amount of weight lost daily may not be more than three or four ounces but when this 3 or 4 ounces is multiplied by 7 week or 30 month it means me a loss of 1 l' l to 2 pounds each week or G 6 to 8 pounds e each month Regular Foods Needed Thus when a physician makes out or prescribes a reducing diet for a patient he makes sure that there will be enough of the foods used daily that that are are arc needed to do the regular

are known to every physician ian and patients are lre always w warned that the boil should be allowed to point before any opening should be made if 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 hot magnesium sulphate n cr ThE dry 1 n form of ot magnesium sulphate is used which contains 12 per cent less W water than the usual crystal form with which we are all familiar This is mixed with glycerine to form a thick paste put on gauze and applied directly to the boil The paste absorbs moisture so should be kept well covered between ap lP- This paste can be left lefton on oil for or sever several ll hours To increase heat and action of the thc magnesium sulphate a hot water bag can be bc placed on top of the dressing When Then the boil points and is ready to open a sharp toothpick which has lias been dipped in carbolic acid is gently bored or drilled into the center of the boil A magnesium sulphate dressing applied directly to the boil helps the pus to drain out of the boil O e Dell Bell Syndicate V NU S Service I |
