Excerpt from Diet in Relation to Age Activity: With Hints Concerning Habits Conducive to Longevity It has recently occurred to me that, having now entered my eighty-second year, I may be able to offer many useful hints suggested by an increased experience respecting the subject defined by the title, and also concerning other more or less allied matters relating to the habits at those who are advancing in years, and who desire still to maintain fair health and activity, without which prolonged life is scarcely to be regarded as a boon. In the present edition I print the original work, unaltered, as Part I., and I have added about an equal amount of matter as Part II., in the hope that the additional portions may prove useful and acceptable. Naturally, certain subjects require to be treated in each of the two parts, but relat ing in the former to the sixth and seventh decade of human life, and in Part II. To the eighth and ninth decade.
