~Milk Cure.~--Certain physicians advise milk alone, giving from one to two gallons a day for three weeks or longer. Many individuals complain that "milk makes them bilious" but, as a rule, this is because the amount taken is small and the solids insufficient to lend the necessary bulk to the feces, consequently the peristaltic action becomes sluggish and the passage of the food mass delayed in the intestinal tract, furnishing a medium for bacterial growth and activity. When larger quantities are ingested such is not the case and the fluid so high in nutrient qualities is utilized by the body for the building up of the depleted tissues. When the emaciation is the result of disease the diet is necessarily adjusted to meet the condition. At times it is most difficult to overcome the anemia and accompanying emaciation on account of the disease precluding the giving of the foods especially designed by nature to produce flesh. This is especially the case in the progressive emaciation in diabetes. However, in this case the Allen starvation treatment, with the reeducation of the organs to a toleration for carbohydrates, has gone far toward overcoming this distressing condition. ~Readjusting the Habits.~--When the loss of weight is found to be the result of close application to work, lack of fresh air and sleep, or from errors in diet, a change of climate and occupation should be made, together with a readjustment of the daily habits, such as substituting a cool bath for the regular hot one, and sleeping out of doors or on a sleeping porch instead of in a poorly ventilated bedroom. The patient must be urged to eat, regardless of appetite, for in this way only can the body weight be increased. The dietary must be made up largely of the fat-forming foods, but not to such an extent as to upset the nitrogen equilibrium. The following diet sheet is given to be used as a guide in the treatment of emaciation. Other foods of a similar composition and fuel value may be substituted for those given here, to vary the diet.
