FALL MENU
_ECZEMA_
Either of the following menus may be chosen for a period of ten or
twenty days. They are designed especially for the removal of all
forms of autointoxication or self-poisoning which sometimes manifest
themselves by skin eruptions. While autointoxication may not be the
primary cause of eczema, it augments all zymotic conditions. The chief
purpose of these menus is to give to the body an opportunity to throw
off the dis-ease by removing all obstacles. I would therefore advise
that the use of tobacco, tea, coffee, and all alcoholic stimulants be
omitted.

From one to two glasses of water should be drunk at each of these
