Rules for Keeping the Blood Pure.
1. Never eat to repletion. If you eat slowly you will not do so.
2. Avoid too much sugar and pastry, especially if you have a slight leaning towards embonpoint. The lean may use sugar, but not the round-faced and obese.
3. Good ripe fruit before breakfast.
4. The morning bath to keep the skin pores open, and thus reduce the work of the internal excreting organs.
5. A large tumblerful of hot water with a squeeze of lemon in it, after the bath.
6. No tea in the morning, but coffee, cocoa, or hot milk.
7. Eat slowly, masticate well. Never get into an exciting argument at table.
8. Be regular in all your habits, and sleep with your windows open.
Thus shalt thy blood be pure.
