thoroughly masticated you need not concern yourself very much about
them. However, if you find a food disagrees with you, or that certain
combinations disagree, do not try to use them. Underweight individuals
sometimes have to train their digestive tracts for some of the foods
they need.
Coffee, tea and other mild stimulants are not harmful to the majority;
but, like everything else, in excess they will cause ill health.
Alcoholic drinks make the fat fatter and the thin thinner, and both more
feeble mentally.
[Sidenote: _I Love Her_]
I hope I have stimulated you to an interest in dietetics. There are many
books which go into the subject much more deeply. I recommend,
especially, "The Home Dietitian," written by my beloved colleague and
classmate, Dr. Belle Wood-Comstock.
Others I have read that are especially suitable for the home are
"Feeding the Family," by Mary Schwartz Rose, and "Dietary Computer," by
Pope. There are doubtless many other good ones. The Department of
Agriculture publishes free bulletins on the subject. Farmers' Bulletin
No. 142, by Atwater, is very comprehensive.
Other authorities I have consulted are Lusk, Friedenwald and Ruhräh,
Gautier, Sherman, Buttner, Locke and Von Noorden.
