     summary: vegetable food in opposition to good animal food; for no one will pretend that a diet of crude, miserable, or imperfect, or sickly vegetables will be as wholesome as one consisting of rich farinaceous articles and fruits; nor even as many kinds of plain meat. The men, even--the Scotch and Irish, for example--are they weaker than their brethren, the English, who use more animal food?

     summary: BILIOUSNESS--THE REMEDY The logical remedy is to remove the above causes by eliminating from the diet such articles as tea, coffee, distilled, brewed and malted liquors of every character, and sweets, selecting such foods as will give to the body all the elements of nutrition, and so combining them as to furnish these elements in the right proportions. It should be balanced according to age, labor, and temperature of the atmosphere, and should consist of-- Such foods as will cause normal action of the bowels Green corn Nuts Rich fresh milk Yolks of eggs Young beans, peas, or any legume before it hardens Immature starch composes the best form of carbohydrate food, which is exceedingly necessary in most cases of neurasthenia, unless the patient be obese, in which event it should be reduced to meet only the requirements of the body, and nitrogenous foods should predominate.
