HEALTH AND FOOD.

A Doctor’s idea of a Perfectly Balanced Ail Yoar Round Diet That every one is more or less susceptible to tubercular trouble is a matter on which all old fashioned medical authorities are agreed. They tell us that we may pass through a phase and out again without knowing it. According to Dr. T. Y. Hull in the Dietetic Gazette, there is only one thing very certain, and that is that if we keep in good health or adapt ourselves to a perfectly balanced diet the danger is slight. He advocates a reduction of vegetable food, relying more upon butter, meat and nuts. Here, of course, one has to face the increased danger of tubercular meat itself probably a large contributory cause of consumption This is Dr. Hull's idea of a perfectly balanced diet, calculated to keep the average individual in perfect health all the year round: The basis for the diet is found in meat. eggs, milk, butter, bread, potatoes and fruit. It consists daily of two quarts of milk, five eggs, four ounces of beef, one and one-half ounces of butter, two ounces of nuts (pecan), four ounces of bread, three and one-half ounces of rice, three ounces each of potatoes, peas and oatmeal, one ounce sugar, one ounce raisins. one apple and one orange.
