Why should the eminent physicians
who admit that excessive meat-eat-
ing is injurious hasten to disavow at
the same time that they are vegetari-
ans? There is nothing discreditable
in the fact of being vegetarian, and
the time when it was fashionable to
sheer at vegetarians has gone BY
long ago. The very fact that in
many diseases meat is the first ar
ticle absolutely interdicted by ply
sicians is the best evidence that the
medical faculty admits in effect, if
not in terms, that people would be
better off without meat altogether.
