1893

Dr. E. S. Miller has augmented his "report" at our Reunion with a letter to President Cox in which he relates how he has been able at eighty years of age to remain so well and vigorous, as follows:

"One of the most important matters for each of us now long past middle age, is health. We all need it and we all want it, but for very many it is ailments instead. In my fifties I had ailments too, and nobody liked to eat better than I. Now, at eighty, I am a walking exhibit of good health and have been for twenty-five years. All this, because of the simple, easy, way I live. I take a glass of water the first thing every morning and omit the third meal. I eat all I want, morning and noon of most any plain good food; that is all there is to it. I do not diet and never go hungry. My weight and strength keep right and I can stand more than before, for now I get the good of all I eat, without any clogging my system. I never miss that third meal in the least, and enjoy living to the full."

Sparhawk writes that a Cabot, Vt., correspondent advises that Dr. Burbank's health is somewhat impaired, but that he answers calls When necessary. He has had no associate to help out and apparently had not been able to get one. Sparhawk's condition continues about the same. His letters are cheerful, however.

President Cox's picture appeared in the Boston papers of October 11, as chairman of Board of Trustees of Boston University.
