Another effective reme
d
y for obesity is an exc
l
usive lemon juice diet. On
t
he first day the patient sho
u
ld be given nothing but
plenty of water. On the second day juice of three lemons mixed with
e
qual amount of water should be given.
One lemon
should be subsequently increased
e
ach

12 lemons is consumed per day. Then the number of lemons should be
d
ecreased in

An exclusive milk diet
f

h
e system.
Thereafter, he should
h
ave a glass
of milk every two hours from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m. the first day, a glass every hour and half the next day, and a glass every hour the third
day. Then the quantity
of milk should be gradually increased so as to t
a
ke a glass e
v
ery half an hour from 8 a.m. to 8
p.m. If such
a quantity can be tolera

mfortably.
The milk s
