The undue development of certain organs and systems of the
body induces abnormal conditions, as, for example, an excessive
disposition of fatty tissue. When the appetite is voracious, or the
nutritive system uncommonly active, too much of the carbonaceous
elements of the food are eliminated, or, as it often occurs, too much
carbonaceous food, such as white bread, potatoes, etc., is consumed
for the needs of the body; the consequence is an excess of fat,
which, in many subjects, impedes respiration, prevents activity,
and gives a generally uncomfortable feeling. For this condition a
spare diet is often prescribed, but as this is felt to be a hardship,
and as few who attempt it succeed in continuing it long enough to
produce satisfactory results, it is pronounced a failure.

For this class of people there is a very agreeable and sure
method of reducing the bulk without reducing strength and without
compelling too great a sacrifice of the appetite.

HOW TO REDUCE THE SIZE WITHOUT LOSING STRENGTH.

A diet which will attain this result is easily obtained, and of
it the subject can use a quantity sufficient to allay the craving
for food.

This diet consists of absolutely _raw_ foods, nothing cooked
being allowed. This diet, of course, must consist mainly of fruits,
nuts, grains, milk, and, when flesh-meat is desired, a Hamburg
beefsteak may be partaken of; this steak is raw beef chopped fine
and seasoned with onion, salt, pepper, or other condiments; to
this may be added raw oysters and clams. Every kind of fruit
