*' If the average individual," points out the Western Mai! (England), "would he as serupulou^ly careful in his selection of the most nutritive foods for hunself and his family as he is in feeding his dog for the show-ring or his greyhound for a race he would soon attain a higher standard of health and vigour. Unfortunately too few persons give serious thought to the foundations of good health until they begin to lose it. They neglect the right foods and also physical traiqing until the doctor prescrjbes them, No one desires to see a nation of valetudinarians or hypochoudriaes. Faddiness about health may become almost a disease, and too mueh concern passes easily into an obsession. But there is less risk in such extreme solicitude than in indifference or persistence in habits of diet and living that are plainly inimical to a high standard of personal htness."
