Testimonials

[Sidenote: _From the Field_]

After you have reduced or gained, let me share your joys. Write me a little note. You need not sign your name if you don't want to. I antic.i.p.ate the following:

DEAR DOCTOR:

I am so grateful to you, Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters, for what you have done for me. After reading your book, ”Diet and Health, with Key to the Calories” my chronic case of meanness--I mean leanness--was absolutely cured. My weight, which was ... now is ... and I am on my way to normal.

I am fond of you.

DEAREST DOCTOR:

I cannot be too grateful to you, dear Doctor Lulu Hunt Peters, for your book ”Diet and Health, with Key to the Calories,” for I have lost ...

pounds! My weight was ... and now is ... and I am on my way to normal.

I should be ungrateful indeed if I did not mention that while reading the book a chronic case of dammdruff which I had had for years, and which had been given up by six specialists, was absolutely cured. I adore you!

[Sidenote: _A Wonderful Demonstration_]

DEAR DOCTOR:

For your book, ”Diet and Health, with Key to the Calories,” words are inadequate to express my thanks. For I have been delivered from a chronic affliction of many years' duration, for which I had tried all known methods of cure. I refer to the smoking of cheap cigars by my husband. He suddenly found he had no desire for the noxious weed! Your arm and leg exercises are wonderful.

An Apology and Some Amendments

On re-reading this literary gem, humorous cla.s.sic, and scientific treatise on weight reduction and gaining, I see that I have a very intimate mixture of the thins and the fats. But that is as it should be for balance. I had intended to keep you strictly separate, but the preaching, the exercises, the dry definitions, the Key to the Calories, and so forth, was matter that was applicable to both, so it could not be done.
