With the beginning of cold weather cold sponge baths in a warm room are advisable, followed by dashes of cold water to the principal parts of the body. A mouthful of water should be taken during the procedure of spongings. The water should be held in the mouth for a while before swallowing. It will assist the bath greatly and improve skin activity. In the morning and also upon retiring a few swallows of cold water should be taken. For constipation nothing is better than a diet for sev- eral weeks, and even months, if an absolute cure is desired. Raw cereals in moderate quantities, soft boiled eggs, macerated spinach with oil and lemon, okra with tomatoes, raw sliced potatoes with oil and lemon, very small quanti- ties of unfermented bread, grated apple with juice of orange and cream, baked bananas with cream, will prove most effective. For drinks it is best to confine one^s self at this particular season to cereal cofifee in small quantities, such coffee containing wheat and barley. Or make a hot rye and barley drink, preparing as you would a tea. Use hop tea, raisin tea, fig and date syrup, raw prunes or prune water. Use all drinks cold. Abstain from spices and salt for a month. Grated raw turnips eaten with Spanish onions daily for twenty-eight days will eradicate tumors and remove gravel. Use with the turnip, raw spinach and mustard leaves or green pepper. 219 TABLE OF CONTENTS.
