I will not presume to say what and whom good Doctor Appetite, with
the assistance of Doctor Taste, can cure. They have both cured and
greatly relieved rheumatism, gout, eczema, obesity, under-weight,
bleeding-piles, blotches and pimples, catarrh, "that tired feeling,"
muddy complexion, indigestion, and yellow-tongue, within four months.
It has been revealed that attention to their invitation and warning
cures unnatural craving and beautifully appeases appetite desires
with one-third the usual food; and, at the same time, they teach an
appreciation and enjoyment of food quite new even to _bon vivants_.
Any person can employ Dr. Normal Appetite and consult Dr. Good Taste
_free of all charge_, and make endless discoveries in the possibility
of delightful and healthfully economic nutrition.
The suggestion was originally given by the author in crudest form with
the assurance of physiologists that trial of it involved no risk, but,
on the contrary, that it led in the right direction toward preventing
disease. I felt that it was too important to be withheld from those who
do not know the existence of Nature's _perfect way_ provided by the
Senses of Appetite and Taste.
Record of careful tests and results will probably follow in another
volume. The author has entered the field of investigation to find
deterrents to Nature's perfect development and will not rest while any
remain.[15]
[Footnote 15: At the present time, five years after this promise was
made, the author is happy to say that it has been faithfully kept and
with important results steadily accruing.]
With even the crude hint, _that health can be secured and maintained
by consulting and respecting Appetite and Taste_, each person having
either can assist in the investigation.
SUGGESTION AND DIRECTIONS
For initial experiment, do not change any of your present habits of
living as to time of meals, kind of food, etc.
Following the directions given hereafter will undoubtedly lead to just
the right thing for you in these regards.
There is no doubt but that the early morning meal is not productive of
the best results in nutrition and strength, but it is better to have
Appetite suggest the necessary change in accustomed habits. Dr. Dewey's
advice in the "No-Breakfast" regimen is excellent. The getting-up
craving is not an _earned_ appetite.
Forced abstinence from a heavy morning meal will _surely_ bring about
normal conditions of appetite which are best adapted to perfect
nutrition, so that if the invitation to give up the morning gorge
voluntarily does not overcome perverse habit, the heroic denial may be
tried.
The value of the discovery lies in recognising the fact that Taste
still has important work to do with passing food while yet there is
taste, and that what remains after Taste ceases to express itself
should _not_ go into the stomach.
