Observe the instructions in regard to water-drinking and deep
breathing, which were given in connection with the spring menu.
BREAKFAST
Cantaloup, peaches, or persimmons
A glass of clabbered milk
One whipped egg
A small portion of steamed or boiled whole wheat
A tablespoonful of clean, wheat bran
LUNCHEON
Choice of the following--
_a_ Two or three exceedingly ripe bananas (red
variety preferred), eaten with cream, two figs,
and either nuts or nut butter
_b_ A baked sweet potato
DINNER
Lettuce, endive, or romaine salad, with dressing
or olive-oil and whipped egg
Tender corn or string beans
A baked potato
A baked banana
From one to three glasses of water should be drunk at each of these
meals--half a glass at the beginning; a glass during the progress of
the meal, and a glass at the close.
WINTER MENU
_SOUR STOMACH_ (_SUPERACIDITY_) _IRRITATION OF STOMACH AND INTESTINES_
On rising, drink two or three glasses of water, and take vigorous
exercise and deep breathing.
BREAKFAST
Two heaping tablespoonfuls of plain wheat,
thoroughly cooked, or simmered over night;
eat with butter and nuts
One or two eggs, either whipped or cooked two minutes
The entire meal may consist of boiled wheat and butter, with a very
little cream, unless the weather is exceedingly cold, in which event
the wheat may be reduced in quantity, and two, or even three, whipped
eggs taken.
LUNCHEON
A liberal portion of baked sweet potato
Stewed pumpkin or winter squash, with either butter or olive-oil
A cup of chocolate
DINNER
Carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, onions--any two of these
A small portion of tender fish or fowl; or, an egg preferred
A baked potato
Celery, or slaw, with nuts
Avoid overeating. Stomach fermentation is caused largely by taking
into the stomach a quantity of food in excess of digestive ability or
of bodily requirements. The logical remedy, therefore, is to limit the
quantity of food, or to increase the amount of physical exercise.
SPRING MENU
_SOUR STOMACH--INTESTINAL GAS CONSTIPATION_
On rising, drink a glass or two of water, eat a spoonful of cherries or
berries, and devote a few minutes to vigorous exercise.
BREAKFAST
Half a cup of wheat bran
One or two red bananas--very ripe; baked if preferred. Served with
either a spoonful of nuts or nut butter
Raisins and cream
LUNCHEON
Two tablespoonfuls of wheat bran
Two eggs--preferably whipped
Lettuce, with young carrots and grated nuts
Boiled onions
A baked potato
DINNER
Wheat bran
Choice of the following vegetables, baked in casserole dish:
peas, asparagus, or onions
Spinach, with egg
A few spoonfuls of plain boiled wheat
A baked potato
