Dr. Wu Ting-Fang Abandons Flesh Food

On Sunday, October 18, Dr. Wu Ting-Fang, the Chinese minister, took dinner at the Washington Sanitarium, Takoma Park, after which he delivered a brief address to the physicians, nurses, and students in the assembly hall of the Foreign Mission Seminary. In the course of his remarks, Dr. Wu said: “Up to three or four years ago I was very fond of animal food, and of what you call luxuries, but I have been studying this question, and I have given up eating flesh food altogether. I also stopped drinking champagne, believing it to be poisonous in its effect upon body and mind. I have given them up altogether as ‘pernicious diet.’” Dr. Wu is a gentleman of education and culture, and his address was received with great favor by the audience.
