_Third, Be moderate in your eating_: This is often very difficult, for
most people do not know what moderation is
_Third, Be moderate in your eating_: This is often very difficult, for
most people do not know what moderation is. In infancy the too frequent
feeding and the overfeeding begin. The common belief that infants must
be fed every two hours, or oftener, is acted upon. The result is that
the child soon loses its normal hunger, which is replaced by abnormal
hunger. When food is long withheld it begins to fret. The mother again
feeds and there is peace for an hour or so. When mothers learn to feed
their children three times a day and no more there will be a great
decrease in infant ills and a falling off in the infant mortality. The
healthiest children I have seen are fed but three times a day. They
become used to it and expect no more.

When fermentation is active and the stomach juices are weakened the
germs of the intestines rapidly break up the phosphorus constituents
of the proteids and make them inorganic
When fermentation is active and the stomach juices are weakened the
germs of the intestines rapidly break up the phosphorus constituents
of the proteids and make them inorganic. Therefore the first thing to
do when a person is found to be suffering from _phosphaturia_ is to
stop the intestinal fermentation by a right diet, clear the bowels of
their accumulated waste poisons and give the nerves plenty of rest.
Another consideration to bear in mind is that the nerves need fat
wherewith to build up the _lecithin_. An excessive fermentative
sourness of the stomach makes the food so acid when sent into the
bowels that the bile, pancreatic and other intestinal juices cannot
neutralise them, and so the fats themselves are not emulsified and
digested, which fully accounts for the mental depression and debility
of which these patients complain.

Sugar is a preservative, and like all other preservatives it delays
digestion, if taken in great quantities, and four ounces per day make a
great quantity. The digestive organs rebel if they are given as much of
sugar as they will tolerate of starch. When taken in excess sugar
ferments easily, producing much gas, which is followed by serious
results.
