Mastication should be very thorough. At least two hours’ vigorous exercise or useful labor should be performed each day, in the open air.
Omit all acids, such as grapefruit, oranges, pineapples, lemons, and rhubarb; also eggs and all flesh foods.
If the bowels are constipated, take a tablespoonful of wheat bran in half a glass of hot water immediately on rising, and half a cup of bran, cooked, at each meal; also, two or three tablespoonfuls in hot water just before retiring. Continue this until the bowels become normal, then reduce the quantity according to the severity of the case.
