Get plenty of sleep. It is better than all other tonics.
If you are "out of sorts," try a little "new thought," or "mental science." It may be all you need.
Sponge your neck, chest and back with cold water every morning.
Girls, accustom yourselves to wearing your waists minus collars.
Boys, wear your collars loose. The artists all do.
Never bundle your neck in winter. A light covering will do.
Eat what agrees with you, and avoid going on diets, if possible.
If you desire to gain weight or put on more flesh, you must eat plenty of nourishing food at least three times a day, drink plenty of pure fresh water, good rich milk, ale, malt extracts, and everything that agrees with you.
Should you desire to reduce your weight, eat sparingly—a shredded wheat biscuit, some dry toast with a cup of coffee in the morning. At noon eat one or more oranges, and nothing else. For dinner take only one kind of meat or fish, a vegetable, a fruit, a salad, some dried toast, with a cup of black coffee or tea. Use no potatoes, butter or cream.
There is no special diet for singers. It is only necessary to keep in good health, take plenty of exercise, and eat and drink only those things which agree with you.
