Food for Fat People.

There are three classes of food, the oils, sweets, and starches, the special office of which is to support the animal heat and produce fat, having little or no influence in promoting strength of muscle or endurance. If the fat, there; fore, would use less fat and more of lean meats, fish and fowl, less of fine flour and more of the whole products of the grains—except the hulls—less of the sweets, particularly in warm weather, and more of the fruit acids in a mild form, as in the apple, shep less, be less indolent, and labor more in the open air, the fat would disappear, to a certain extent at least, with no loss of real health.

In food we have almost a perfect control in this matter, far better than we can have in the use of drugs. If we have too much fat and too little muscle, we have simply to use less of the fatforming elements and more of the muscle food, such as lean meats, fish and fowl, and the darker portions of the grains, eto., with peas and beans —Medical Journal.
