How a Consumptive was Cured.
" Eat less, and eat it more "—a maxim quoted a short tim« ago — is th© subject of a letter from a London food reformer. " I have in my mind," he says, " the case of a boy who was consumptive. When taken 'n, hand he was eating largely and much too fast. Th© meals were cut down to almost half, and thre© times the amount of time was given to eat them in. Improvement began from the first week, and was continuous. I may add that breathing exercises were also given. In three month® the boy was a different being (he was skin and bone when, taken in hand), and he has now passed' the medical examination and is ir the army thoroughly cured."
