An unnatural appetite often accompanies bilious attacks, but it should be resisted. Eat sparingly of bread and milk, slightly salted, for two or three days, then take more solid food, but do not eat meat more than once a day for a week or two. Any exercises that call the muscles of the stomach into play are beneficial and should be practiced daily, especially horseback riding and rowing. Exercise by bending forward, trying to touch the toes without bending the knees; at the same time taking a deep breath--you then have the liver as in a vise, thus inducing active circulation. The “Bear” walk, or walking about the room on all fours without bending the knees, is one of the best exercises for a torpid liver that can be imagined, but it should be practised in private, or your friends may question your sanity. DISEASES OF THE SKIN. These diseases usually have their origin in constipation, therefore the first thing to be done is to relieve this condition of the colon by daily use of the “Cascade.” Bathe the body daily in tepid water, being careful not to use soap that will irritate the skin. Never use common soap nor any of the highly perfumed varieties. A pure soap will float in the water. An occasional wet pack sheet is of great value. Attend carefully to the diet and avoid all foods fried in fat, especially buckwheat cakes and food of that description. DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. This is caused by irritation of the kidneys, brought about by those organs being forced to do work which does not properly belong to them. Congestion is the first step towards chronic or acute inflammation. The second stage is a breaking down or degeneration of the kidney cells. If degeneration has passed a certain point, there is no hope. TREATMENT. The only possible cure is to remove the cause. The colon, intestines, stomach and skin must be got into good working order, so that they will do their own work and relieve the poor scapegoat--the kidneys--of unjust burdens. The colon should be constantly and copiously flushed with the “Cascade,” and warm baths frequently taken. The Turkish bath is valuable, especially the home bath described in this book, as the patient’s head, being free, the hot air is not drawn into the lungs. Every night after flushing the colon inject a pint of warm water and go to bed. It will pass off through the kidneys, cleansing them. If there is acute pain, repeat the injection every two hours until relieved. Hot fomentations applied to the back, over the region of the kidneys, will relieve the pain, and gentle massage in the same locality will be found beneficial. Avoid sweets, pastries, starchy foods, like potatoes, alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee and overfat foods. The diet recommended for dyspepsia is good. Skim milk, buttermilk and whey should be used freely, as they exercise a very beneficial influence on the kidneys. A wet compress worn over night will help draw out the poisonous waste matters.
