epared in various ways, and fruit,
vegetables or fresh greens; for example:

(a) White beans boiled to the consistency of a thick soup, with apples.

(b) Fresh pea soup containing rice, barley, sweet corn or oatmeal; a
thick pea-porridge with parsley, served with carrots, cabbage, white
turnips, red cabbage, Savoy cabbage, or various fresh greens; or simply
browned.

(c) Dried pea soup with similar contents; barley porridge, fresh greens,
baked potatoes; or browned and eaten with any vegetables.

(d) Lentils boiled in soup with the same contents as before; or as
porridge, particularly with potatoes and fresh greens.

Care must be taken never to eat leguminous products in large quantities,
because their nutritious properties are so high. Potatoes should be used
whole when added to other vegetables, and steamed not strained, because
they easily lose thereby their valuable sulphuric contents.

_Afternoon Lunch_: Fruit and whole grain bread, or a glass of milk and
bread.

_Supper_: In summer, cold or warm porridge with fruit and fresh greens,
and besides these millet, buckwheat, oats, barley and Graham-bread, as
especially efficient bone material. Sweet or sour milk proves a
relishing addition. In winter, soup made of the above grains, or of
potatoes not deprived of their mineral contents by peeling and
straining.

_Dech-Manna-Compositions_: =Osseogen=, Plasmogen, Cartillogen, Eubiogen.

_Physical_: Gymnastics, Massage.

V. DEGENERATION OF THE MUSCULAR TISSUE.

=Muscular Rheumatism, Sciatica, Infantile Paralysis, Atrophy, Amyloid
Organs.=

The muscles, about 400 pairs, which must perform all the actual work of
the body, require good nourishment through the blood, which will rapidly
replace the cells that are constantly used up.

Muscular degeneration is caused by disturbances in the quality and
circulation of the blood.

Interruption in the proper circulation of the blood, stagnation etc.,
cause _rheumatism_ with intense pains, and this can be removed only by
restoring the undisturbed circulation of the blood, carrying all
substances requisite for the proper nutrition of the muscles.

If disease of the muscular tissue combines with a diseased condition of
the accompanying nerves, we speak of _Sciatica_.

Infantile paralysis, which often appears suddenly, muscular atrophy,
which develops slowly, _progressive and chronic atrophy_ of the muscles,
are also forms of muscular disease, combined with destructi
