HOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT.
A correspondent of the "Scotsman* wishes to give a valuable hint with reference to the, reduction of weight, He had trained oft' about twenty-one pounds in about eighteen weeks, but for two weeks afterwards he was unable to continue his course of exercise. Many people have tried drinking hot, water, but it is an unpleasant beverage at the best of times. Now our correspondent has got over his dislike for hot water by taking it in the form of boiled vegetable marrow, as hot as he can swallow it, and in as large quantities as he can manage, "whenever he happens to think of it," as they used to say when they sold you an old-pattern, slow-wind Waterbury watch. In spite of his compulsory rest of a fortnight, he has lost five pounds in weight, and he attributes this reduction entirely to large meals of vegetable marrow (with no melted butter, but cooked in gravy with plenty of variety in the flavouring).
