I can never get enough of books like this. It's wacky, it's Victorian, and it has loads of suggestions that no one, under any circumstances, should ever follow (but of course there are also some nuggets of truth).

I saved this gem to share:

"The rich are qualified for marriage before the poor. This is owing to the superiority of their aliment; for very nutritious food, and the constant use of wines, coffee, etc., greatly assists in developing the organs of reproduction; whereas the food generally made use of among the peasantry of most countries- as vegetables, corn, milk, etc. - retards their growth."
