The
FAMILY DOCTOR 1
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
IF YOU ARE HEALTHY
The fox being chased, or the
hunted hars, runs in circles, if left
to his own instinct. The big planets
above our heads move in circular or
bits. It seems to me that human
minds also perform in a similar
manner—in circles —as I watch the
developments of years. Many of us
are coming out at the same door
where in we went, like the old poet,
Omar. .
Time was when we lifted hands in
holy horror, at a diet of fat meat.
Today, our calm judgment is, that
*l'at meats, and well-nourished bodies
are the best fortification against tu
bercuosis! I have heard meats,
cheese, eggs and other dependable
foods condemned solemnly, even for
healthy people! If you liad a greasy
skin, you were ordered off substan
tial diet immediately.
We know better now. Lean meat
is not only desirable, it is essential
to life and strength.
* People have looked at me slant
ways when I have told them that
gravy was better for their "kids"
than cod-liver oil—and I've been
telling 'em that for nearly half a
century.
I knew a famiy who, all of them,
were swept away by tuberculosis of
the lungs—all but one, the last lit
tle daughter. She consulted me a
few days after my graduation in
Medicine —about her lungs! Her
three sisters and a brother had died
of it. She naturally felt that she
was doomed.
"Fanny," I said, "you go home and
learn to live on fat meats, rich milk
and eggs. See that you do that, as
many times a day as you sit down to
the table." I made it ais impressive
as I knew how. She promised strict
obedience.
Today, Fanny is getting a little old
—but she weighs 175, and still en
joys her fat bacon!
If our dietitians would tell us how
to a void the human hog, we would
be happier and healthier.
THE BEST OF US
"You're lazy, you're worthless,
you're bad-tempered, you're shiftless,
and you're a thorough liar."
"Well, my dear, no man is per
fect."
"Don't you approve of tight
skirts?"
"No, I think women should let
liquor alcne."
