An Unwashed Chemist

A famous chemist in Italy declares that his body has not been washed, to his knowledge, for seventy-five years. He declares it to be useless, like brushing the teeth and taking off boots at bedtime. “Five years ago,” he says, “the lady I am living with furnished me with three towels; they are still on the rack, old and yellow, but unused.” Such a man ought to live alone, or be a companion to St. Simeon Stylites, the “pillar saint.”
