Rich and highly seasoned soups, such as, turtle or mock turtle; pork, veal, bacon, duck, goose, liver, and all varieties of salt meats and salt fish, also smoked meats, smoked, potted, or pickled fish, eels, lobsters, crabs, and fish not having scales.

Cucumber, celery, onions, garlic, radishes, parsley, horse-radish, and asparagus, also all kinds of pickles, salads, and raw vegetables.

Pastry of all kinds, spices, aromatics, and artificial sauces, mustard, vinegar, cheese, confectionary, and almost the whole variety of nuts.

Thus, we perceive, the homoeopathic patient is not starved, nor his appetite pampered, or his stomach crowded with articles of food more or less indigestible and capable of creating serious disturbance in the system. But diet plain, healthy, easy of digestion is adapted in all cases, though as I have before stated, different persons require, in the varied forms of disease and constitutions, different varieties of food. Thus, in cases of diarrhoea, fruits and vegetables should be avoided, while a constipated state of the bowels requires a free use of these articles, also when symptoms of fever are present, meats, butter, eggs, and other stimulating articles of food, should be avoided, confining the diet more particularly to fruits and farinaceous articles.

During treatment, the patient should carefully avoid the use of purgative medicine, salves, perfumery of all kinds, or even aromatic tooth-powder.

More specific directions as to diet, will be found in the chapter on Hygiene, and in the body of the work, in connection with the various diseases.
