WISDOM OF THE AGES

CLASS OF 1870, FAD DIET INVENTOR

"Eat very slowly and chew every particle of food minutely, until it almost melts in the mouth. Anger and worry greatly retard digestion, so, at the dinner table, tell your wife how beautiful she is and do not talk of the amount of her dressmaker's bill. In the intervals of agreeable talk, chew, chew, chew your food...I repeat: chew, chew, masticate, masticate."
