potato and cheese or ground nuts or cooked brussels sprouts and a nut meat pie, apple pie and cream, with brown bread and butter, or a raw fruit meal, nuts, apples, grapes, figs, dates and no bread.

Two meals a day, first in the morning at eight o’clock, second at two or three in the afternoon.  A glass of hot water with lemon at nine P.M., and the same in the morning.  I do some exercises night and morning and am out in the fresh air often through the day.  We live in the country and I have every chance of keeping myself healthy.  Perhaps I should say I do not eat many nuts, finding them rather difficult to digest.  Should I use an enema when I feel like this, or wait for natural results?

 The symptoms of which L.B.F. complains are in all probability due to
 flatulence and to general disturbances of the digestive process.

 Perhaps it would be a good plan to make the diet lighter.  The nuts
 could be omitted and cheese or eggs substituted.  An evening meal would
 be helpful.

 As to the bowels, some senna and camomile tea at bedtime would help to
 clear them.  Unless there is distinct evidence of faecal retention in
 the colon it is better not to use the enema as a regular thing.

 On rising.—­A tumblerful of Sanum Tonic Tea made with hot,
 preferably distilled, water.

 Breakfast.—­An all-fruit meal consisting of nothing but apples,
 bananas, grapes, or orange, or any fresh ripe fruit that is in season.

Dinner at 12.30.—­A cooked meal consisting of two casserole-cooked vegetables, with grated cheese as a sauce dressing, with some twice-baked or well toasted bakers’ bread, followed by a baked apple and cream. (Omit nut meat pie and apple pie.)

 Tea meal at 5.—­2 oz. of cottage cheese or cream cheese, wholemeal
 bread and butter, small plateful of finely grated raw roots with an
 appetising dressing containing some “Protoid Fruit-Oil.”

Bedtime.—­Tumblerful of hot water (preferably distilled) to which senna leaves and German camomile flowers (very little) have been steeped to infuse; or a cupful of dandelion coffee could be taken if the bowels are regularly acting.

 LONG-STANDING GASTRIC TROUBLE.

W.T. writes:—­Having tried a diet, recommended in The Healthy Life, for a month I find the nuts and cheese are far too heavy for the apparent weak condition of my stomach, also that the salads and casserole-baked vegetables are too irritating to the membrane of the stomach.  I have no desire to return to flesh food and ordinary feeding, which I feel would not be good for me.  From eggs I cannot obtain any good results.  The continuance of loss of weight is worrying me, being down to eight stone from eleven stone in twelve months.  I feel satisfied it is only a question of diet, if I could only strike the
