HUMAN ILLS
WHOLLY DUE TO WOMEN
SIMPLE LAWS IGNORED,
SIR A. LANE’S DIAGNOSIS,
(Received 10.4Ga.ru.) LONDON, January 21
‘‘Women, though so charming and useful, are really the cause of all our misery, degradation and disease, because they first teach us wrong habits and feed us wrongly,” said Sir Arbuthnot Lane at a luncheon at the Soroptimist Club. He added that dark-haired women were unable to resist disease as easily as blondes. On the other hand, redhaired women had extraordinary power to resist infectious disease. In England people were always trying to collect money for hospitals which consisted of smelly out-patients ’ departments and operating theatres, where poor people were operated on and dosed with drugs. The money thus collected should be spent in teaching everybody simple laws of health. People had no more right to be ill than to he criminals. —A.N.Z.
