...doubt the truth of the old adage that "man should eat to live and not live to eat" when we consider yesterday's alumni dinner. When one can eat at the same board with such men as sat in Memorial Hall on November 8, 1886, and hear such a flow of eloquence issue from their lips as then was heard, then he may boldly say that he has "lived to eat."

Hot and cold applications are also...

The increase is shown, perhaps, in a more striking way by Parker, estimating the different amounts in cubic inches. The flow of blood through the lungs is much less rapid when one takes little or no exercise; and the carbonic acid will not be removed from the system in so thorough a manner. If a man then is obliged to lead a life which deprives him of the chance of getting...
