PREFACE
Milk is the greatest of all diet cures. It is already
scientifically combined. When you are furnished with this
delectable fluid you need not bother about other nourishment.
“Milk is for babies, water for weaklings and women, and whisky for
men,” is an old time quotation, but it is out of date.
This age would doubtless interpret it, “Whisky for fools, water for
men, milk for babies and invalids.”
And that is our position. An invalid is a weakling. In functional
strength he is a mere baby, and that is why milk is so valuable
under such circumstances.
I have personally come in contact with thousands of people who have
been amazingly benefited by adhering to the exclusive milk
diet.
I have personally secured benefits at different times in my own
life that could not be measured in money value.
John D. Rockefeller, the richest man in the world, advertised
nearly thirty years ago and offered a million dollars for a new
stomach. I never heard of any one accepting this offer, but a short
time after that reports were frequently circulated of his interest
in outdoor life, golf, etc., and now, at his greatly advanced age,
it is reported that he lives exclusively on milk; that he is
maintaining his life at present great age because of this simple
diet.
The milk diet, properly prepared for and properly used, is capable
of bringing about miraculous changes in the physical organism. We
are presenting, in the following pages, the amazing truth in
reference to this remarkable diet.
There are times in life of every human unit when the milk diet can
be of extraordinary value. Whether you need it now or in the
future, it will be of inestimable value to you to assimilate
carefully the information contained in this book.
It will undoubtedly give you more life while you live and it may
add many years to your life. It may actually save your life in a
crisis when a simple, invaluable food can be used
advantageously.
The facts presented in this volume are of but little value if
hurriedly canned, but if read and absorbed they will offer you an
equipment of knowledge that will be invaluable.
In the writing of this book I have not only gleaned from every
phase of my own experience, but I have been aided by an editorial
staff who searched in every possible source for additional
information on this important subject. Medical and literary experts
have materially added to its scope.
More than twenty years have elapsed since I first tested the value
of this diet in a régime, and the longer I live, the more I study
it, the more I am able to appreciate it.
I am quite sure that the experience of the readers will be similar,
if they give the subject proper attention.
