_On rising._--Half-pint of hot boiled water, sipped slowly. _Breakfast._--Wholemeal bread or biscuits and butter (all made without salt), with salad or grated raw roots. Stop porridge, jam and golden syrup. Avoid drinking at meals. _Lunch._--Two eggs, or 2 oz. of curd cheese. Two vegetables cooked in casserole without salt; wholemeal bread or biscuits and butter; a few figs, prunes, dried bananas, or raisins, washed but not cooked. Avoid milk puddings or stewed fruits as too fermentative and heating. _Supper meal._--1 to 2 oz. flaked nuts, some crisp "P.R." or "Ixion" biscuits with nut butter. Some fresh salad or grated roots. Stop jam, cake and pastry. _At bedtime._--Half-pint of hot boiled water, or clear vegetable soup, sipped slowly. [14] The Sanum Oxygen Baths are also excellent in a case of this kind. DIET FOR ULCERATED THROAT. Mrs L.B. writes.--Do you think it would be wise for a person suffering from ulcers in the throat and on other mucous membranes to adopt a diet devoid of meat, yeast and salt? It would certainly be wise to discard meat and salt in a case of this kind, but yeast is sometimes useful taken as "unflavoured Marmite." The chief cause of ulcers is the abuse of the soft cereal and sugary foods. In a case of this sort I should advise a diet consisting exclusively of well-dextrinised cereals--_e.g._ Granose, Melarvi, etc.--with plenty of grated raw roots and finely chopped salads and tomatoes. This can be combined with curd cheese, raw or lightly cooked eggs, flaked nuts or Brusson Jeune bread as the proteid part of the diet. FARMING AND SCIATICA. Mrs A.C.B. writes.--For two months my husband, who leads an active open-air life, has had severe pain all down the back of his left leg. It is like neuralgia, and comes on worse when sitting. He has been a farmer all his life, but is anything but strong and constantly taking cold. Are these pains likely to be due to wrong food? This pain is evidence of sciatica. Chills alone will not produce sciatica, which has its real cause in the system being choked up with acids and toxins of various kinds. In such a case as this, warm water enemas should be taken freely to clear the colon well; sugar, milk and all starchy mushy foods should be strictly avoided; vegetables should be taken either as baked roots or as fresh salads; eggs and cheese should be substituted for meat; and plenty of fresh butter should be taken. Boiled water, _between meals_, will be good, but nothing should be given to drink with food. Salt, pickles, and greasy or highly flavoured foods should be avoided. TEMPORARY "BRIGHT'S DISEASE" AND HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. Miss E. would like to know what kind of diet is suitable for one who has been suffering from Bright's Disease following a serious illness. Why should meat have any bad effect upon the kidneys? She does not take it, although her medical man advises the use of it at once.
