May 25. “The diet in our boarding schools is appalling; it is a standing disgrace on our young country, and produces more misery and disaster than ever was thought of,” said Dr. Ulric Williams, of Wanganui, in a health lecture at Wellington. “But,” he proceeded, “if there are places where the diet is even more appalling, they are our public hospitals.” As an afterthought Dr. Williams added: “Unless it is the private hospitals.” He concluded by saying that diet itt modern hospitals could be “safely guaranteed to make a strong man in.”
