I have about come to tho conclusion that the good Lord Intended tome of , hit croatures to be fat and some thin, ' regardless of medicines and to-called Infallible cures, writes a western man. For a long while I tried all tho alleged obesity oures and nono of them did me any good. Then I determined deter-mined to starvo mysolf and take lota of exerclso. I All my Ilfo I had been a lover of good eating, nnd counted that day lost on which I did not consumo for my dinner tho better part of a sirloin steak as thick at a darky's foot, with all the trimmings. For breakfast I usually dostroyed a platter of cakes, Ithreo eggs and no end of thin-sliced I oacon, besides fruits and two cups of coffee. This lifelong system I abandoned for an entlro month, cutting out all tho meat and about alt tho vegetables, & pleco of toast and glass of milk taking tak-ing the placo of my morning meals and a little rice being tho chief Item on the meager dinner bill of fare. Lunch I omitted wholly. In addition I walked at least six miles every day and did all sorts of stunts In my room with a gymnnBlum outfit. Prior to going to bed I pcrpetrntod all sorts of muscular contortions nnd relied on tho floor till my body was bruised. At tho end -of thirty days I felt fit ' to run a threo-mllo foot-race or go in tho ring with tho champion. About ' this tlmo It occurred to me that I ought to get welshed and I mado a beo lino for the scaled. My grocer assured as-sured mo that they wero correct to an ounce, but they showed I had gained 14 pounds in the period of my abstinence. Kxchnngo. |
