The Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1907. THE CARE OF THE BODY.
Dr. Osler, now Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, and famous for liis alleged dictum that most people ought to be killed off after forty, lectured recently at the Working Men’s College in Crown-dale-road, St. Pancras, on “The Care of the Body.” He compared the human body to a steam engine. Above all, he exhorted his hearers not to put too much fuel on the furnace, lest it should be clogged. Though not a vegetarian fanatic he would have them .be careful not to eat too much meat, and assured them that they must not be above drinking plenty oi milk, as it was the human steam-engine’s “ ideal fuel.” Dr. Osier admitted that the human engine was sometimes well enough made to last out fully three score years and ten in regular working order. So far as alcohol was concerned, he abjured it in every form as being totally unnecessary*' We should also hr Sscil.cr without tobacco, he said.
