1Las indicaciones de esta lista permiten conservar un estado de salud agradable, evitar flatulencias y gordura innecesaria; siempre que no se abuse de los alimentos de la lista LINO, que son los que “engordan” y curan todos los malestares estomacales y del intestino, siempre que no sean de mucha gravedad.
2Por ello, si ciertas personas no obtuvieran con esta alimentación una mejoría apreciable, deben entonces, evidentemente, hacerse revisar por un facultativo, que determinará la causa de tal anomalía, prescribiendo el tratamiento adecuado.
3Como consejos generales para conservar la salud o remediar a una cantidad de malestares de que todos poco más o menos sufren, basta, por lo general, observar estas indicaciones: Por la mañana, en ayunas, tomar diariamente el jugo de un limón, no comiendo nada más hasta después de pasada una hora y media.
4Para quienes lo hallen más agradable, pueden mezclar el jugo de limón con dos o tres naranjas.
5Si es posible ayunar un día por semana.
6Almorzar abundantemente, sin exceso y cenar livianamente, nunca tarde o antes de acostarse.
7Lo ideal sería no cenar, sino tomar de tardecita, frutas, o té con algo liviano.
8Como hay una gran cantidad de personas que sufren del hígado o de los riñones, es necesario indicar cuales son los alimentos que son inconvenientes o aconsejables para dichas personas, que no tendrán entonces más que borrar de las lista los alimentos que no les convienen y subrayar los recomendados, para obtener así en la lista general arriba publicada, su propio régimen conveniente.
9Decimos “general”, porque hay factores individuales, normales o patológicos, que solamente el interesado o el médico podrán determinar, después de la observación.
10A LOS QUE SUFREN DEL RINÓN.
11NO LES CONVIENE: la sal de los alimentos que la contienen, como ser: aceitunas, anchoas, sardinas, bacalao, fiambres, etc.
12SON MUY MALOS PARA ELLOS: los excitantes e irritantes, como ser: pimienta, mostaza, vinagre, alcohol (en cualquier forma), café, té, chocolate, tabaco.
13TAMPOCO LES CONVIENEN: los alimentos ricos en albúminas y que dejan residuos ácidos (ácido úrico, oxálico, etc.), como carnes, aves, pecados, hígado, conservas, embutidos, mariscos, quesos, y entre las verduras: acelgas, coles, repollo y espárragos.
14PUEDEN TOLERAR: Huevos en cantidad moderada, crudos o pasados por agua; queso muy fresco y sin sal o poca, legumbres secas y limón en cantidad muy moderada.
15SON RECOMENDABLES: todas las frutas frescas y secas, como ser: nueces, avellanas, almendras, dátiles, ciruelas negras pulposas y pasas de uva.
16Es muy buena la banana, pudiéndose hacer una cura de ella, las peras, manzanas, uvas e higos.

1The indications of this list permit conserving an agreeable state of health, avoiding flatulence and unnecessary fatness — provided one does not abuse the foods of list ONE [Sic: the original prints "LINO".], which are those that "fatten" and cure all stomach and intestinal discomforts, provided they are not of much gravity.
2Therefore, if certain persons did not obtain an appreciable improvement with this alimentation, they must then, evidently, have themselves examined by a physician, who will determine the cause of such an anomaly, prescribing the adequate treatment.
3As general counsels to conserve health, or to remedy a quantity of discomforts from which everyone more or less suffers, it suffices, in general, to observe these indications: In the morning, fasting, take daily the juice of one lemon, eating nothing more until an hour and a half has passed.
4Those who find it more agreeable may mix the lemon juice with two or three oranges.
5If possible, fast one day a week.
6Lunch abundantly, without excess, and dine lightly, never late or just before going to bed.
7The ideal would be not to dine, but to take in the late afternoon fruit, or tea with something light.
8As there is a great quantity of persons who suffer from the liver or the kidneys, it is necessary to indicate which foods are inconvenient or advisable for those persons, who will then only have to strike from the lists the foods that do not suit them and underline the recommended ones, thus obtaining, from the general list published above, their own suitable regime.
9We say "general" because there are individual factors, normal or pathological, that only the person concerned or the physician can determine, after observation.
10FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM THE KIDNEY.
11NOT SUITABLE FOR THEM: salt, and the foods that contain it, such as: olives, anchovies, sardines, cod, cold cuts, etc.
12VERY BAD FOR THEM: excitants and irritants, such as: pepper, mustard, vinegar, alcohol (in any form), coffee, tea, chocolate, tobacco.
13ALSO UNSUITABLE FOR THEM: foods rich in albumins and that leave acid residues (uric acid, oxalic, etc.), such as meats, fowl, fish [Sic: the original prints "pecados" (sins) for "pescados".], liver, preserves, sausages, shellfish, cheeses; and among the vegetables: chard, cabbages, and asparagus.
14THEY CAN TOLERATE: Eggs in moderate quantity, raw or soft-boiled; very fresh cheese with little or no salt; dry legumes; and lemon in very moderate quantity.
15RECOMMENDED: all fresh and dried fruits, such as: walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, dates, pulpy black plums and raisins.
16The banana is very good — a cure of it can be made — pears, apples, grapes and figs.

New masthead line: "For remittances from abroad, we prefer N. City Bank" — the National City Bank of New York's Montevideo branch; the review's foreign readership now warrants banking instructions.
The SUMARIO announces the Janardanam translation from Madras — the Suddha column now imports whole essays.
Jehel's initiatic curriculum vitae, printed: initiated 1922, visible direction of the Order assumed 1936, administrative and ritual structure reorganised 1939 — the reform decree's preamble is the most exact autobiographical dating he has given.
The June 1944 reforms: decreed for 9 June ("the date of greatest moral force of each year" — Lévi's commemoration), announced publicly in the review on the argument that Martinism hides only the too-sacred. The reform's five planks: de-masonisation (all resemblance to masonic rites eliminated, "the time of secret societies has passed"), suppression of pompous titles, briefer theory / more practice, corporeal preparation entering every degree, and visible East-West union.
Reviewed against the concealment mandate: the reform text describes its own collectivity ("enormous majority… of white race and Christian formation") and ranks the Christian revelation as fittest for "the present white civilisation" — self-description and supersessionist doctrine, not evidence-claims about living peoples; and the same page immediately mandates equal honour to Buddhism and Taoism and declares woman's absolute initiatic equality. Kept under the ratified boundary, with this note as the review's record.
"Martinism definitively refuses to place woman in a situation of inferiority and recognises in her the most absolute equality of spiritual — that is to say, initiatic — possibility" — printed June 1944, and consistent with the run's practice: Lorelair, Maya, Martha and Upasika all hold teaching or council positions.
The fraternities named as beyond the Martinist door now include Gnosticism and spell out H.A.B.M. for the first time: "Hermanos Asiáticos del Brillante Misterio" (Asiatic Brothers of the Brilliant Mystery) — the masthead's most mysterious initials finally glossed by the editor himself.
The three-list system (never mix List One with List Three; List Two goes with anything) — trophology's food-combining doctrine, printed as a complete household technology with the 127-item alphabetical list that follows.
The 127-entry food list is a Rioplatense pantry inventory of 1944 — boniato, choclo, zapallitos, radicheta, dulce staples and the porteño ravioli — the run's most concrete document of its material culture, preserved item by item.
The morning lemon, the weekly fast, the no-supper ideal, and the strike-through method for building a personal regime — the counsel column at its most practical; kidney and liver regimens follow with period clinical detail.
The pennyroyal (poleo) infusion, six or seven leaves, covered a quarter hour, "always without sugar" — herbalism enters the run's pharmacopoeia.
With the planets done, the course opens the zodiac: Aries first, on the standing pair of authorities, plus the faces (5° divisions) from "Dr. Salmon" — the seventeenth-century Christian Astrology tradition — and Julevno's decanates. The physiognomic detail is the densest yet.

The fourth surviving asana plate: Fig. 20, the Maha-Asana's two positions printed head-to-head on a landscape page. Extracted to the imagery layer.

The closed-fist variant "closes the electric circuit" to receive terrestrial prana — the asana course and Kapila's electricity-of-the-body article (three pages later) are one doctrine in two genres.
The three vibratory temperaments — Neutral (the adepts'), Electric (projectors, hypnotisers), Magnetic (mystics, sensitives, mediums) — with organs and foods sorted into the same polarity scheme: the series' whole dietetics resolving into Mesmerist physics.
Census: 88 → 92 (Argentina 50, Brazil 11, Uruguay 31 — Argentina now the majority). April protocol 797–963: 167 documents in one month, by far the run's heaviest traffic.

The Wesak report: Montevideo's 4 a.m. ceremonial "attended by almost all", synchronised with the Chilean Section and with "the Solemn Act which the Great Siddhas celebrated at Visala Badari" — the mythic Badari ashram of the S.D.M. hierarchy — with a telegram from Santiago as the visible relic.
Janardanam's essay (from The Suddha Dharma, Nov-Dec 1936) — the S.D.M. Director's defence of organised religion — translated whole: the run now serialises the Madras organ directly, not only the Pandit's notes.
The essay ends in the S.D.M.'s messianic key: the world's chaos correctable only by a Superhuman Being — "when the Lord Mitra Deva comes to act among men" — the same Avatara whose 25th incarnation anniversary Chile feasted in Nº 24. Printed in June 1944, the week of Normandy.
Régnault's orientation experiments tabulated with dates (19-3-1923, 30-6/1-7-1925 with Lancelin, 17-5-1926): lymphocyte shifts, blood-pressure and corpuscle counts by compass heading — the run reproducing French biodynamics' raw tables, decimal commas and all.
The conclusion circles back to the ancients: head-north sleep vindicated by minimal magnetic influence, Müller's Zurich neurometer concurring — the column's standing thesis (modern instruments confirm initiate practice) at its most complete.
The GIDEE prospectus is rebuilt: courses now listed by teacher — Jehel (Cosmogony, Kabbalah, Alchemy, Magnetism), Kapila (Yogas, Dietetics, Chiromancy), Pitágoras (Androgony), Surya (Judicial astrology), Martha (History of the Hermetic Traditions), and a new name: Sister UPASIKA: The doctrine of the Buddha — a Buddhism chair at the Montevideo school. Buenos Aires reopens April 1944 with a telephone (42-4129); La Plata's contact changes to B. Rodríguez Meitín, Calle 60.

A second publishing line appears: the Library of the Kabbalistic Rose Cross Order, at Editorial Kier — Sevaka's novel El Hijo de Zanoni (the Bulwer-Lytton continuation by Lorenz), Sédir's Hindu Fakirism, and Franz Hartmann's In the Pronaos of the Temple of Wisdom. The Martinist Library adds Schuré's Divine Evolution. Kier — the Buenos Aires esoteric house that would dominate the century — enters the run by name.
The printer changes: Dornaleche Hnos. (Cerro Largo 783) gives way to Tall. Gráf. Castro y Cía., Yi 1657 — read from a marginally legible photographed line and flagged uncertain in the transcription.
The faces of Aries with their fixed stars (Tail of the Whale, Head and Girdle of Andromeda) — the older star-lore layer beneath the decanates, kept with its printed typos glossed.
The rejuvenation series restates its vibratory thesis with the ionic chemistry of the day — tropisms, semipermeable membranes, cathodic and anodic tendencies — the medicalised register at its most current.
Janaka as the king who held both offices — the essay's proof-text that rule and realisation can coexist, from the Gita the S.D.M. reads in 26 chapters.
Aries on the Midheaven by faces: soldiers, surgeons, butchers, metal-workers — the trade-list astrology that keyed the era's vocational counselling.
"Religion is at once subjective and objective, spiritual and material" — the essay's refrain; its sociology of hypocrisy (verbiage convincing neither speaker nor hearer) is its sharpest page.
Electric men project, magnetic men receive — with mystics, saints, artists and mediums on the receptive pole: the temperament typology that underwrites the whole feeding-by-polarity table on this page.
