HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT
The gist of this article was pub
lished in "The Medical Press and
Circular." . The author was . Henry
Hales, t . -v ,
"Obesity is defined as the presence
of fat in the body beyond the amount
necessary for, the ' full physical . and
mental efficiency of the individual
either during' his normal activities' or
id emergency. Fat is stored chiefly,
in subcataneous, intramuscular, and
peritoneal tissues." Fats are mobi
lized and deposited in the body and
produce meat. '. ; .
Many : people, ignorantly suppose
that fat people are in good health.
The contrary is true. ; Obesity often
indicates that the body suffers from
dificient oxidation. The intestinal
toxins and food poisons interfere with
the burning of fat in the body in
exactly the same way that a clogged
furnace prevents the proper combus
tion of coal.
When there is too much fat, instead
of performing its proper role in the
body, it interferes with the secretions
of the ductless glands, which play such
an important role in the metabolism
of the system.
xne chief causes of obesity are
overeating, too little exercise, and poi
sons. Ketention of water gives the
appearance. of obesity.
The treatment' is reduced food in
take. Exercise is important. Electric
'light baths help remove the poisons
and stimulate metabolism, thus help
ing to burn up the fats. . These baths
remove water from the system very
rapidly.
If the patient is deficient in en-
doctnnes; substances, then prepara
tions of the glands should be ad
ministered Electric currents are very
helpful In stimulating the whole sys
tern. This helps to burn up the fat.
A very important thing to remem
ber is that fat combustion takes place
only when the quantity of food eaten
is below the body heed. For this re
son the amount injected must be be-,
low that which is necessary to main
tain the body. weight This may be
accomplished by systematically eating
less, and especially by cutting down
on sweets, fivts and starches to the
lowest amount that is considered
with health.
Nothing should be.eaten between
meals. Eat a sufficient amount of
protective foods. "Enough proteins,
provided to meet the loss resulting
from reduction of the total food,
which can be achieved by eating

Constipation can foe overcome by a
proper diet.
The weight tables that have been
published are generally unreliable, be.
cause every human being is law unto
himself.
"Food taken in excess of the body
needs acts like a drug and produces
a craving for more food. The dis
comfort which results when the food-
drug is withdrawn will disappear, if
the reduced diet is followed for sever
al days. The torpor following a heavy
dinner illustrates the toxic action of
overeating."
