...months ago smart pressmen crowded on shipboard about returning Dr. Lorenz. He looked chipper and gay. But the back-fence gossipers noted not his appearance. They wanted some slick phrase on which they could hang a story. Dr. Lorenz gave it to them: "Enjoy all vices in moderation." Fine! The phrase could be wrung into a salacious connotation.

As in Dr. Lorenz's case, which he did not handle, improvement in bodily and mental vigor endures at least five or six years, perhaps longer...
