Sir George Blrdwood. officer of the
Legion of Honor. laureate OF the French
academy and formerly professor OF
anatomy and physiology at Bombay,
has contributed at the age of eighty
his views on how TO reach a ripe old
age. His maxims are:
Don't think about your health.
Enjoy yourself as much as possible.
Ignore dietary tables.
Eat whenever you feel inclined.
Look on the bright side OF things.
Sir George is particularly scornful
about the diet on which another con.
tributor to the discussion thrlves-
namely. two meals OF eggs. bread and
butter daily.
