THREE YEARS OF SKIMMED MILK.

Lours Heiuist, who keeps a saloon and hotel on Market-street, between Front and Second-streets, Camdeu, and who ia one of the best known Germans in South Jersey, celebrated yesterday his third anniversary of a skimmed milk diet. Mr Herbst is a large, finely-formed man of about fifty years of age, and weighs about two hundred pounds. Three years ago he was afflicted with dyspepsia and kidney troubles, and was advised by his physician to try a diet of skimmed milk, exclusively. He tried the remedy fqr a couple of months, and was so benefUted by the diet that he determined to try it fora year. At the expiration of the latter period Mr Herbst's health was almost porfeot. Far from becoming thin or oinaciated from the long-continued use of skimmed milk, his form was, if possible, even more rotund than before, and by the advice of his doctor he decided to adopt skimmed milk as his exclusive diet permenently, For three years he has eaten or drunk absolutely nothing but the articles named —nut even water—and declared to his friends, w|iq visjted him ynsterday that l)e proposed to continue skimmed milk and dispense with steaks, bread and butter and beer for the rest of his life.— Philadelphia News.
