Health Talks by DR.. Brady
Cornnro. who Ate Much.


Luigi Cornaro. tborn 1864, died 1860, was a
good practical octogcnarian with good prac-
tical text for the great sermon lie preach cd
and lived:
whatsoever wishes to eat much must cat
little"
Like all other heralds of health and long
cvity before and since his time, Cornaro gave
neither Of these questions consideration until
he had attained the thoughtful age of 40 Ry
the time man turns 40. he begins To live
he begins to die. TOO many of us alas
half dead even before We reach the great
turning point. Cornaro could mount his horse
unaidcd when he over SO; he had all his
sense intact as we'll as his teeth and his
voice and his legs and his mind--for he sang
and walked hours every day. and wrote with
his own In nd much eight hours "A day
when he was past 90. Yet in his youth he
was. like our beloved Roosevelt, a wcaklinC.

his own constitution so carly rs the great
American did. Not only his physical health

changed from unhappy. cholcric disposi-
tion To cheerful. hopeful and cmincntly
religious mind. Cornaro remained young in
mind and never grew into dotagc he was not
the sort Of old man that people venture to
pet and patronzc.
Throughout his later decades, Cornaro con-
fidcntly anticipated attaining the century
mark. and he felt equally certain that he
might have extended this span many more

excuses were. II Is difficult to know: from

chiefly. ii not entirely. Still. immortality and
its attending diseases were far more common
then than even today. and possibly Cornarc
erred in more than intcmpcrancc in eating
and drinking when he was young man
Another queer thing about these great her
aids OF longevity is that told so little
concerning their wives and children. Cornaro's
wife survived him, and reached nearly his
own age. yet nary Il word about her her
plan OF living do we learn. save that her old
age as happy and diEnfed his own.
and her serenity OF soul and anticipation Of
the hereafter as fine and solacing her
illustrions husbands.
For many years Cornaros daily ration con
sisted OF not over twelve ounces OF food and.
except the months OF July and August. about
fourteen ounces of wine. Still later he re-
duccd his ration still further and found that
this actually gave him greater energy.

wars dread carnival behind the line
Of battle. and to arouse the saw
agcry of the Afrion ncgro--and he
