Noons - at least a portion of this meal should include lettuce and celery, and carrots - raw.  Arrange these differently so that they do not become abhorrent to the body; sometimes in their regular state, other times grated, other times prepared in juice form.  Then have soups, broths or the like, and these should include the oyster plant, celery, fowl, mixed vegetables - but not too much of the dried vegetables; though soy beans can be used at times, and lentils or such.

Mornings - a dry cereal with some fruit or berries.  Or, instead of these there may be taken citrus fruit juices (but not at the same meal with the cereal), with toast later and the yolk of an egg - whether boiled or scrambled.  This should be sufficient, with a little milk; and preferably use the soy bean milk.
