/First Day/: On rising, drink a cup or two of hot water, and
eat a half pound of grapes, the Concord or blue grapes preferred,
swallowing seeds and pulp whole, masticating and swallowing the
skins. Devote as much time as possible (from three to five minutes)
to deep breathing exercises before an open window, or in a thoroughly
ventilated room.

Half a cup of coarse wheat bran, served as an
ordinary cereal
A bowl of clabbered milk, with a sprinkle of
maple-sugar
Bran meal gems
LUNCHEON
A glass of cool water
Baked potatoes or corn
One fresh vegetable, such as carrots, parsnips,
turnips, beets, boiled onions, or squash

One or two fresh vegetables (See list suggested
for luncheon)
Choice of green salad, cooked spinach, or celery
A baked white potato--eat skins and all
One egg white, or a very small portion of either
fish or white meat of chicken; egg preferred
From one to two glasses of water should be drunk at each of these
meals--half a glass of cool water at the beginning of the meal, and
a cup of hot water at the close, would be sufficient; drink enough,
however, to make the total moisture about 66 per cent of the whole.
