Summer Diet

With change of weather all sensible people change their diet. In summer fish should replace meat both at breakfast and luncheon, while fresh salads and well-cooked fruit should be taken instead of indigestible pastry and innutritious confections. Milk may be taken by children and young people up to eighteen years of age, or, for those who prefer it, the milk may be combined with some natural mineral water. No more powerful stimulant should be taken than claret or sherry by those who feel they must have something more than water, while they who are wise will adopt the most simple form of diet, and avoid all unnatural extremes.
