Cachectic patients should not, as some authorities recommended in former
times, be starved by poor diet in addition to the losses which they
already suffer when afflicted with diseases, such as cancer. Except in
case of cancer of the stomach and bowels, when I would recommend Form
III and, with gradual improvement, an increase up to Form VI, the latter
form of diet should always be prescribed in case of cancer. Special
instructions, as given under the heading, I. and II. C. For Syphilitic
Patients, should also be followed in these cases.

II. DEGENERATION OF THE LYMPH TISSUE.

The lymph, the second life-giving fluid, is first drawn from the chyle,
the milky juice, into which all food is converted after it leaves the
stomach, and after having directly fed the nerves, enters the blood
through the ductus thoracicus, and accompanies it in its circulation.

According to its nature some degenerations of the lymph tissue are
coincident with degenerations of the blood, and especially the plasma,
such as Scrofulosis, Tuberculosis, Syphilis and Cancer, while other
degenerations of the lymph tissue coincide with degenerations of the
lymph-fed nerve tissue and are consequently treated under that heading.

III. DEGENERATION OF THE NERVE TISSUE.

The nerves which form the very complicated system of gelatinous cords of
various sizes which emanate from the brain and the spinal cord, send
thousands of branches throughout the entire body. They communicate the
impressions from the outside to the brain and convey its conscious or
unconscious (instinctive) mandate to the muscles of all organs.

The nerves are fed by the lymphatic sys
