Rules for Living Long As Laid Down in Old Book
A London dated 1650 book by Tobias Venner, Via Recta Ad Vitam Longam, is reviewed. The piece links Venner’s diet and hygiene advice to modern ideas, noting examples on lettuce milk and bran, and questions whether such precepts truly prolong life. It contrasts ancient and modern rationalizations and ends that moderation remains common sense, with longevity largely tied to ancestry.
