Rule to Find Ideal Adult Net Weight
Multiply number of inches over 5 ft. in height by 5½; add 110. For example: Height 5 ft. 7 in. without shoes.
| 7 x 5-1/2 = | 38½ |
| + 110 | |
| ——— | |
| Ideal weight | 148½ |
If under 5 ft. multiply number of inches under 5 ft. by 5½ and subtract from 110.
Are You Thin and Do You Want to Gain?
Don't Read This
Skip this chapter. It will not interest you in the least. I will come to you later. I am not particularly interested in you anyway, for I cannot get your point of view. How any one can want to be anything but thin is beyond my intelligence. However, knowing that there are such deluded individuals, I have been constrained to give you advice. You won't find it spontaneous nor from the heart, but if you follow my directions I will guarantee that you will gain; providing, of course, you have no organic trouble; and the chances are that by giving proper attention to your diet you will gain anyway, and maybe in passing lose your trouble. Who knows?
