DIETETIC REFORM.
A new Society, to be known as the Canterbury Dietetic Eeform Association, was initiated at a meeting held last Monday night at the Temperance Hotel* Christchurch. The chairman, Mr H. Satchel!, in briefly addressing, the meeting, strongly advocated the adoption of vegetarian principles as the only sure means by which that greatest of all blessings, good health, may be maintained by those who are fortunate enough to be already in possession of it, andjalso the only means by which many of the ills to which society, in its ignorance of the dietetic laws of health, is subjected, maybe effectually eradicated, and this he confirmed by his own experience during some two years past. Having derived very great good himself, he was anxious that others, too, should come to share its benefits, and recommended that this society be formed for the dissemination of information upon this all-important subject, respecting which so very little real knowledge existed. A committee was formed, and other details having been arranged in a satisfactory manner,; a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman for the practical interest he had shown in the welfare of others. — “Press.” ’ ■
