ure I have
noticed on the new diet is a thinness of the teeth and a feeling
of weakness in them generally.

This correspondent omitted to supply his amended diet, so this was
asked for and is as follows:--

_On rising_ (6.40).--Cup of cold water.

_Breakfast_ (8 A.M.).--Porridge, boiled egg or white fish done in
oven. Turog brown bread and butter; a banana; cup of coffee.

_Lunch_ (12.45, _at The Home Restaurant_)--Nut or cheese savoury
and one vegetable, a sweet dish, a few dates or a nut and fruit
cake.

_Tea meal (in office at 5)._--Bread and butter, piece of cake,
large cup of cocoa.

_Supper._--One of following:--

(a) "Force" with stewed prunes and junket; small piece of cheese
with wholemeal biscuit.

(b) Milk pudding and stewed fruit; small piece of cheese and
biscuit.

(c) Vegetable soup with toast.

(d) Bread and milk and fruit cake.

_On retiring_ (10 P.M.).--Cup of hot milk.

cakes which I have been eating, or to a general weakened
condition due to want of finding my natural diet. I have a friend
who is a fine specimen of physical development, and on his going
on to food reform he had to have his teeth seen to. I suppose it

I like my liquids fairly sweet and I like liquid foods. I am a
