282 VITALITY AND EFFICIENCY WITH RESTRICTED DIET. 



February 8, 1918. — "Since eating uncontrolled my teeth have begun to 

 ache and the old rheumatism is back with a 'bang.' While on diet I could 

 chew without difficulty. I am very much in favor of the diet for my health. 

 After three days of eating the old troubles began to come back. It was not 

 a case of overeating; I was careful, but I wanted meat and ate it." 



Robert H. Long (Lon). 



January 13, 1918. — "I mind the diet; that is, I noticed the lack of food 

 considerably the first two days. Since then I have felt better. To-night 

 I am all right." 



January 19, 1918. — "I have not felt very well during the week. I feel 

 fairly good to-night." 



January 27, 1918. — "I feel better to-night than on any day this week." 



John Schrack (Sch). 



January 13, 1918. — "I feel quite good, but hungry all the time; always 

 thinking about good things to eat. I eat things now that I did not care for 

 previously and they taste very good, too." 

 January 19, 1918. — "I feel fine; I have felt pretty good all the week." 

 January 27, 1918. — "I had gas in the stomach. Not very anxious to go 

 off the diet. I have some things to eat with me, ready for tomorrow, but as 

 hungry as I have been they do not appeal to me greatly." 



Alfred Livingstone (Liv).

 to get up. I have had some pain in my stomach all the week." 



February 8, 1918. — "Difficult to concentrate in study. I could not keep 

 the idea of eating out of my mind. One of the easiest ways to forget eating 

 was to typewrite notes. I missed candy greatly. If I were with people who 

 were all getting low diet and had moderate physical work, as in camp life, 

 it would be much easier."
