This little book, by Sir H. Thompson, is republished, from The Nineteenth Century, by Cupples & Hurd. Its design is to show that with increase of years there should be decrease of food, provided there be also a lessened expenditure of force. After all, is not Nature the best guide? In most dietary matters it is found so. If the human system really requires less nourishment, will not the appetite show this difference? It should not be forgotten that in old age a greater effort is demanded, and therefore greater reinforcement, for a similar result.
