MENUS FOR CONSUMPTION

WEAK LUNGS--CONSUMPTION

For many centuries consumption, or the various forms of tuberculosis have preyed upon the human race, yet science has so far failed to give us one reliable artificial remedy. We must perforce turn to Nature, the only remedy now known being oxygen or common air.

The consumptive or tubercular patient should provide some way to live out-of-doors, day and night, winter and summer, unless the weather is extremely cold.

The next important factor in treating this dis-ease is food.

The diet should consist of the richest and the most readily digestible foods, in the following groups, given in the order of their importance:

PROTEIDS CARBOHYDRATES FATS FRUIT-SUGARS

Eggs Honey Nuts Figs Oranges Milk Maple-sugar Olive-oil Raisins Pears Legumes Whole wheat Cream Grapes Plums Rice Butter Persimmons Peaches Potatoes Bananas Apples Corn

FRESH VEGETABLES GREEN SALADS

Asparagus Beets Lettuce Peas Carrots Romaine Beans Parsnips Parsley Green corn Squash Watercress Tomatoes Celery Turnips Cabbage

The patient should drink an abundance of water, take vigorous exercise and deep breathing, and eat liberally of grapes before breakfast, when they are in season.

A spirometer should be secured, and an effort made to increase the capacity of the lungs one cubic inch each day until their utmost capacity has been reached.

The following menus are merely suggestive. They may be changed, selecting the articles mentioned in the foregoing tables, when available during the several seasons of the year:
