The piece cites Fitzsimmons and Corbett ages and feats and notes modern examples like Mme Pete at age 50 and Gladstone near 90 to argue against midlife stiffness. It blames laziness and poor habits for aging woes and criticizes using nature as an excuse. It also mentions Bismarck not being seriously ill despite neuralgia, attributing it to his long habit of eating and drinking well.
