First get the alcohol out of the system by flushing the colon daily.
This will help you to stop drinking (which is so much easier advised
than accomplished), then proceed to sweat it out by a daily Turkish bath
(see end of book) or a Turkish bath one day and a wet sheet pack the
next.
Second, sip a cupful of hot water not less than half an hour before
each meal and use the wheat bread crusts and apple diet mentioned before
for one week certain, two weeks is better (if possible). Then use the
“Cascade” thoroughly, to expel the worm; and for a month at least follow
the diet laid down for dyspepsia, when the alcoholized blood in your
veins will have been replaced with good, rich blood, and your cure
practically effected.
OBESITY.
The condition of the body, to which nosologists have applied this term,
is that of general engorgement, or, over-fullness, and is the result of
excessive eating, or imperfect depuration, or both. Over-eating and
inactivity are the chief producing causes. It is the especial
prerogative of children to be fat, but when too great an accumulation
comes, with advancing years, it brings discomforts, disadvantages, and
oftentimes fatal diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Fatty Liver,
Diabetes, Bright’s Disease and Fatty Heart. The _sanguine_ or _entonic_
variety is distinguished by florid skin, full strong pulse, turgid
veins, with firm and vigorous muscular fibres, and the _serous_ or
_atonic_, is denoted by a full, but frequent and feeble pulse, smooth
and soft skin, plump but inexpressive figure, and general languor or
debility of the vital functions.
TREATMENT.
Use the “Cascade” regularly, and take as much exercise as is possible
without fatigue. A brisk three mile walk daily will work wonders in
reducing weight, especially if you perspire freely. Drink a pint of hot
water an hour before each meal and half an hour before retiring, to wash
the sour ferments and bile from the stomach before eating and sleeping.
Live principally on roast or broiled meat, fish, poultry or game, boiled
rice, green vegetables, and brown bread. When people are unable to take
the necessary amount of exercise, the dieting process, known as the
“Salisbury system,” is very effective. This consists of the lean part of
good beef, from which every particle of fat and sinew is removed, then
chopped to a pulp, made into small cakes and _broiled_--then eaten hot.
The reduction of adipose tissue demands a certain amount of
self-sacrifice, but the above method, if faithfully followed, never
fails to effect the purpose.
