FOOD FADDISTS.

Rri'i'SlCliAN S DiEINU NLIATIO i\. LONDON, July 8. Food- fadcLsitsi were roundly criticised by tun- llnomuis morcier, piiysaoxan in onuuuijy to me Lance oi \\ ales and pnyisioian to me .tat. Bartholomew s ito-spittai, m a, lecture at a private meeting, of t-iie London Chni.eali bociety. “The only Isamt a'Oout tne LfngiasJi diet,” die oealared, “is the excessive quantity,. mostly at flipper time, when a howl of bread and mrlk is ample tor a tired elderly man. The usual diet offers little clanger of an nisuiiieaeney of Vitamins. Leanness and longevity often go together. By insisting upon meat extract, I restored the health of an eminent medical man, who was in a state of inanition, through self-dieting, but he is still preaching that meat is poison. A lot of rubbish was talked about wholemeal bread as 'being richer in vitamins than white bread. We know little about vitamins, and we want very little. This we get in other articles of daily diet.”
