The following regimen is that by which he claimed to have removed the superfluous fat of his pationts: 1. Broakfast—One large cup of black tea, Without milk and sugar: about two ounces of white or brown bread, aud plenty of butter. ‘Timo—In snmymer, 6:80; in winter, 7:30 am. 2.

Plenty, mind you; | plenty—all you wanted, in short. This was on | the theory that fat does not make fat. Hith- | erto the popular belief was that fat does make fat. Furthermore, the Ebsteinites were allowed all sorts of delicious fat things, like salmon, liver pate, sauces, soups and gravy. Only a fow aweet things, like sugur, were forbidden. Lured by the light of “plenty of butter, ceased to repine because there was too much of me, excluding, with Falstaff: “A. bans did sighing and grief} It blows a man up a Dudder.” I weighed, and then Ebsteined for a week, and weigued again. I Lad gained exactly five pounds. Plenty of butter crease, Next week the same, and Flenty of butter and fifteen pounds more fat on my already overburdened bones. EBSTEIN'S CURE FIRED.
