How a Man Reduced His Size.

Banting, "Undertaker 20 the queen
and royal family" recently died at the
age Of eighty-fve. He invented q sys-
tenn of diet which became as famous in
our age as that of the Cornaro was three
centuries ago. In a curious pamphlet
which he wrote, and which had cosmo-
politan circulation some ten years ago,
Mr.. Banting related his sufferiugs from
his enormous Obesity in terms as NOV
ing as those of "Falstaff." For years
he had not tied his shoes, and he was
obliged to walk down stairs backwards,
lest the protuberant weight of his trunk
should pitch him down head foremost.
He adopted a regimen by which he
gradually shrunk himself within such
bounds that he became quite q nimble
pedestrian. The fact that he lived
through this process to die at the age of
eighty-fve, may be taken to show that
abstinence from farinaceous and saccha-
rine food worked as well in his case as
living on an egg a day did in the case of
Cornaro. But others who have adopted
his system have Jared worse. Still his
work has borne good fruit, if only in
making people think about what they
eat and drink in its relations to their
vitality as well as to their appetites; and
the man cannot be said to have lived in
vain who enriched his native language
with new verb, "to bant."
