    forms of gravel and stone, most kinds of asthma, all fatty diseases of the heart and other organs (except such as arise from injuries), anaemia in its various forms, most cases of prolapsus of the bowels and uterus, hypochondria, most cases of loss of voice, erysipelas, eczema, etc. All these diseases, and many others, are sim- ply the outcome of unhealthy alimentation, and by this, I repeat, is meant the too excessive and too long-continued feeding upon starchy and saccharine foods and drinks, and fruits, so that digestion and nourishment soon become imper- fect ; fermentation gradually supervenes, car- bonic acid gas„ which partially paralyses the organs, is produced, and disease eventually is, and must be, the result. The only real cure, is to stop all foods that ferment and paralyse and form carbonic acid gas in the stomach and bowels, to feed for a time exclusively upon lean meats, eliminating entirely from the meats all fibrous tissue, skin, and fat; and to thoroughly ining their eyes, that they were but out of health, and that the failure of sight and pains in the eyes were only symp- toms which would disappear when the stomach was restored to order. Doubtless many aurists could relate similar expe- riences.
