DIABETES. 
The disease known as Diabetes is a condition in 
which the body is unable to use up starchy and sugary 
foods. If a diabetic patient takes starch and sugar in any 
form, it is not used up by the body, but remains un¬ 
assimilated, and passes into the blood ; its presence there 
causes all the well-known symptoms ; it eventually passes 
into the urine. The only successful treatment of diabetes 
consists in depriving the patient of the foods containing 
starch and sugar, and thus allowing no accumulation of 
these substances in the blood. Some patients only 
partially loose their assimilative power, and these cases 
can be allowed limited quantities of starch and sugar, as 
may seem best to the physician. It is unwise for patients 
to relax the restrictions of the diet unless they receive 
special instructions from their medical adviser. Diabetic 
diet merely consists in the avoidance of starchy and sugary 
foods, and replacing them with starchless foods, such as 
Casoid Flour and Casoid Biscuits. 
The principal article to avoid is ordinary bread. 
The following are the common articles of food which 
must be avoided : — 
SUGAR. BREAD. ROLLS. TOAST. CRACKERS. 
CEREAL FOODS. RICE. MACARONI. 
POTATOES. BEETROOT. PEAS. BEANS. 
PASTRY. PUDDINGS. BANANAS. GREEN CORN. 
CASOID FOODS CONTAIN NO DRUGS. 
CASOID FLOUR. 
This Flour consists of a mixture of 
vegetable and milk albuminoids, and is 
free from starch and sugar. It is useful 
for making bread, cakes, biscuits, pastry, 
etc., at home. Full directions are on each 
package, and it keeps in good condition 
indefinitely if stored in a dry place. It 
is highly nitrogenous, and therefore affords 
concentrated nutriment. 
2-lb. packages. Price II .50. 
KALARI BATONS 
Kalari Batons are free from starch 
and sugar. They are made from milk 
albuminoids ; very crisp and light. Being 
plain they are suitable for use with or 
without butter at all meals instead of 
bread and toast. They should be stored 
in a cool, dry place. 
Price 11.50 per box; 6 boxes for 18. 
Casoid Foods are free from Starch & Sugar 
“CASOID” FLOUR. 
For making Diabetic Bread. 
This preparation consists only of albumen, and is 
therefore very highly nutritious. It does not contain 
starch, sugar, or dextrine in any form, this being the 
essential condition of any food which is fit for the use of 
diabetic patients. Full directions for its use are supplied 
with each package. Bread, etc., made from it is equal in 
nourishment to six times its weight of ordinary bread. 
It is not quite as palatable as the articles made with 
ordinary wheat flour, but a preference for this food is 
soon acquired by patients. 
The baking powder used with it should be starchlcss, 
but if this is not available, one of the ordinary baking 
powders can be used. 
In 2-lb. bags, Price $1.50, carriage paid.

OBESITY. 
The CASOID Foods are largely prescribed by 
physicians for the treatment of this uncomfortable con¬ 
dition, and the results are found to be excellent. If 
ordinary starchy foods, such as bread, rolls, crackers, 
biscuits, rice, potatoes, and sweet foods be avoided, and 
Casoid Biscuits taken to replace them at all meals, weight 
reduces at the rate of 2 lbs. per week after the first week. 
In cases of extreme stoutness about 3 or 4 lbs. per week 
is lost. This steady reduction is effected without im¬ 
pairing the strength or causing inconvenience. The 
biscuits cannot be harmful in any way. 
CASOID FOODS CONTAIN NO DRUGS.
