Breakfast

A glass of clabbered milk, with a sprinkle of sugar

Two eggs whipped very thoroughly (See recipe, p. 678)

If constipated, take half a cup of coarse wheat bran, cooked. Serve as a breakfast cereal with butter or cream.

Luncheon

Three eggs prepared as per recipe, p. 678; add two glasses of milk; mix well; drink slowly

Choice of two of the following vegetables:

Beets Carrots Lentils Parsnips

Cabbage or celery Fresh corn or corn hominy Navy or lima beans Turnips

A baked white potato, rice, or corn One egg, prepared any way acceptable to the taste - preferably whipped

Something green should be taken at this meal, if possible, such as lettuce, spinach, kale, parsley, or watercress

Home-made ice-cream, in summer, or a table-spoonful of honey, in winter, may be eaten, if something sweet is desired

Drink from one to two glasses of water at each of these meals, but take no water into the mouth until mastication is perfect.

Just before retiring, drink a glass of water, and eat half a pound of grapes, then devote from ten to fifteen minutes to deep breathing exercises.

Second Day

Same as the first, slightly increasing or decreasing the quantity of food according to hunger.

Take an additional egg the second day for the noon meal; another the third day, then gradually decrease the quantity if the appetite rebels against them. Do not overeat. Assimilation is the primary object to be obtained.

Fourth Day

On rising, drink water and eat grapes, as prescribed for the first day. Devote much time to moderate exercise and deep breathing.

Breakfast

Two extremely ripe bananas, eaten with thin cream and either nuts or nut butter; also two or three figs or an equivalent quantity of raisins

A spoonful or two of whole wheat, thoroughly cooked

Luncheon

A large boiled onion, and a baked white potato, with butter and a dash of salt (If the onion cannot be procured, take carrots or parsnips)

Drink two or three glasses of milk

If the bowels are not acting normally, drink a glass of water and take a spoonful or two of wheat bran, after each meal.

Dinner

A liberal portion of baked white potatoes, eaten with butter

Four or five egg whites and two yolks, prepared as per recipe given for the first day

A small portion of any two fresh vegetables (A little ice-cream may be taken at this meal, if there is a craving for something sweet)

Fifth Day: Same as the fourth, omitting ice-cream.

Sixth Day: Same as the first, repeating these menus for about sixteen or eighteen days.
