/First Day/: The first thing after rising, give the body a thorough rubbing with a coarse towel or flesh brush, and a gentle massage. Do not use water except on the face and hands.
Whip two fresh eggs very fine, adding slowly, while whipping, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, two and one-half teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Add half a glass of milk to each egg and mix thoroughly
At usual breakfast hour begin taking not more than half a glass at first; in ten or fifteen minutes another half glass. Continue taking half a glass every ten or fifteen minutes until the full amount is consumed
A small, baked potato Two eggs, prepared as for breakfast
A glass of milk A baked potato Bit of any fresh vegetable that appeals to the taste
Drink liberally of water between meals or at meals. Just before retiring, rub the body with a flesh brush, or give it a massage as prescribed for the morning.
Take about one tablespoonful of coarse wheat bran at the beginning of each meal. To keep the intestines thoroughly cleansed is of primary importance. Increase the quantity until the desired result is produced, which should be an action once or twice a day.
/Second Day/: The same as the first, decreasing the eggs and increasing the milk.
/Third Day/: The same as the second, slightly varying the menus by increasing the quantity of eggs and milk, if these are agreeable, reducing the other articles correspondingly.
