KKM'CIXU THK WKK.HT. E\i>erts Advise Katinj* Four to Seven Times Per J>ay. Obesity has botiiered and burdened humanity since the beginning of civilization. The only cure for it ever found has been through dieting, and in the course of time there have appeared several dietetic experts who have attained lasting fame through their successful treatment. Chief among these were Oertel. Erbstein. Banting, Schweninger. Schleischer. Germain, See, Hirschfield and Von Noorden. Oertel's treatment was rather more liberal than the others, and was well suited for those cases in which the dieting could be combined with exercise. A proper combination of this kind causes the absorption and oxidization of the fat deposited between the muscular tissues and the renewal of more vigorous action of the muscular fibres, which are shielded from waste by the liberal proportion of proteid food admitted. Es - -11 -- iMotmuiit aimpd at PeCttUlV 13 11113 Li increasing the vigor and force of the heart action. For exercise Oertel prescribes a systematic course of hill climbing. He maintains the fluid in the body must be reduced before the accumulation of fat can be diminished. His dietary for patients capable of muscular effort and locomotion allows a maximum of 50 grams of fat, 200 grams of carbohydrates and 50 grams of albumen daily. He greatly restricts the amount of fluid, contending that this reduces blood pressure and lessens venous stasis. The result claimed is that nutritive changes are produced in th? fflttv tissues which cause the food to become disintegrated, carried away and burned up. ( While most cures for loss of flesh advocate fewer meals a day, the standard obesity cures all prescribe more meals?from four to seven a day. Oertel's being among the less severe, calls for four. Oertel's allows the following articles. Lean roast and boiled beef and veal, mutton, game and eggs. Spinach and cabbage are highly valued among the vegetables. From four to six ounces per diem are given, and fats and starches are restricted as much as possible. Sugars are withheld altogether. The fluid prescribed consists of a moderate cup (about six ounces) of coffee or tea or milk twice a day, with 12 ounces of wine with an equal quantity of water, which may be taken with meals, but at intervals dur?' ing the day to allay the thirst. In the less serious cases Oertel allows the fluid to be gradually increased. Here is a typical menu under the Oertel system: Morning?One cup of coffee or tea with a little milk, altogether about six ounces; bread about three ounces. Noon?Three to four ounces of soup, seven to eight ounces roast or boiled beef, veal, game or lean poultry, salad or a light vegetable, a little fish (cooked without fat) if desired, one ounce bread or farinaceous pudding (never more than three ounces.) three to six ounces of fruit (fresh preferred) for desert. It is desirable at this meal to avoid taking fluids. Afternoon?The same amount of coffee or tea as in the morning with at most six ounces of water, and an ounce of bread as an exceptional indulgence. Evening?One or two soft boiled eggs, an ounce of bread, perhaps a small slice of cheese, salad and fruit, six to eight ounces of wine with four or five ounces of water. After the weight of the patient has been sufficiently reduced through the above diet, the .next problem is to provide for him a regimen that will prevent a return of the fat. For this purpose Oertel recommends several diets. Water should never be allowed in quantity, Oertel says, and what little is allowed should be drunk at intervals through the day. Although Oertel allows light wine "WO 11 niiontitioc thic iq Rim XXX V Cl J OUlttii \juuavivi w>, ?w ply because most of the Europeans demand it. Modern tests have proved beyond doubt that the entire absence of any kind of alcoholic beverages aids greatly in the reduction of flesh. Alcoholism is believed to be the inciting cause of some of the worst forms of obesity, especially that of a hereditary character. FARMER FATALLY INJURED.

Spartanburg, April 24.?Fred Tuck, of Boiling Springs, in the upper part of Spartanburg county, was fatally injured here late today, when his mules became frightened and caused his wagon, loaded wun coiton, to collide with a railway trestle on Elm street, throwing a bale of cotton from the vehicle on top of him, crushing his ribs, rupturing one lung and breaking his back.
