HEALTH RESTORED BY A VEGETARIAN DIET.
THE ladies of fashionable London were delighted to learn, a few days ago, that her grace Lady Essex was restored to good health. "She is no longer nervous," said her friends. "She has regained her beauty," said another. "Vegetarianism did it," said a third. And vegetarianism it was. Her lovely ladyship, Adele Grant, Countess of Essex, famous London beauty and for years a delicate woman, has been brought back to all her former loveliness by the adoption of a vegetarian diet and by taking up a form of exercise. A great many persons suppose vegetarianism means the eating of vegetables and nothing else. They think that it refers only to the taking of fruits and nuts, grains, and such foods into the system, and to the eating and drinking of such articles as are not of animal growth. But this is entirely wrong. The true vegetarian not only eats vegetable food, but, in addition to this, he or she takes up what may be called a vegetarian form of exercise. The vegetarians believe in out of door walks. They seek the green fields and the meadows. They live as much as possible in the open, and they always breathe fresh air. The members of the society to which the Countess of Essex belongs make it one of their first principles to get out in the open air.—The Sunday Republic.
