—===== I In the course of a lecture before prac- ' Using doctors at Vienna, Professor Carl von Noorden, who enjoys a great reputation as an authority upon dietetics, made some very interesting utterances. With regard to the various cures for obesity the proI fessor stated that the best way to reduce one’s weight is by simply avoiding certain fat-forming foods, such as butter, cream, • sweets, puddings, and potatoes. Lean j meat, lote of green vegetables and salads, ; and raw fruit should be eaten. Plenty of walking exercise should be taken, uphill, as walking on the level is of very little ; use As to riding exercise, the professor stages that it is doubtless very good fo>' reducing the weight—-of she riorse. Profewer von Noorden also slated that if people were proportionately 50fb too heavy lot fherr bright, is is bigh-timo they canraenced weight-rodocirig. . Persons who work mentally thvl physically arc in danger of using up the heart mid th» arteries if they carry about too much fat. Elderly people whoso weight is not very much above the normal should net be advised to conrsmonce weight-reducing. On the subject of alcohol he states that bad though the excessive consumption of alcohol undoubtedly is, he would not favor its total prohibition, and even goes so far as to say that he considers people vjro cannot assimilate alcohol rft to be somewhat “degenerate.”—‘English Mechanic.’ The misery of headache is quickly banished by Stearns’ Headache Core, which promptly cores all kinds of headaches, and neuralgic pans as well. No one should be without it. —[Advt.] ,
