Regimen. — " Diet," says Dr. Eeece, " con- sists in that course of eating and drinking which every man employs for the support of life ; and varies therefore with every in- dividual, in a certain degree according to temperament, age, predisposition, &c. In a mediciil view, it is proper to consider the course of diet which is best suited to each period, without regard to anything extraneous, and in so doing I shall begin with that of youth. "The diet of children and young people should consist greatly of dilutents, in order to facili- tate the progress of youth. Hence broths and a large proportion of vegetables are the most suitable noui-ishment. Milk also is a proper part of diet, and it should be used in every form during this stage of life. In point of drink, water is the best, and should be almost the only BEG ( 726) EEL beverage. Seasoning of all kinds should be avoided, and nothing should be taken that can, by stimulating the system, induce a too early maturity before the constitution is ripened for it by years.
