body all over daily if possible and rub with a coarse towel till the flech is aglow take a warm bath once or twice a week take all the active exercise you can le especially specially out of doors make inake a daily practice of fit walking say three miles or more moi e eat moderately not oftener than three i times dally daily twice only would be better eat nothing between meals it if you want any warm drink with aitu your meals use skimmed milk do not drink chocolate cocoa sweet milk cream beer etc do not indulge much la in sloppy food always eat bread with mush or soup the bread should be made of whole wheat flour or graham flour the latler latier Is best provided it is a good article ait icle fresh ground made from thoroughly galy cleaned wheat such as you yoa may obtain at the
