I had guessed it around the 1940s. But to actually find out it's over 100 years! Dang! Thanks again for pointing out yet another great source of knowledge from sandowplus.

I am in my mid 30s, and i see people my age who would rather pop pills to maintain "wellness" than strive for superior states of health. amazing. because a little effort and a little less stagnation would go so far. an incredible article because it is still so true..thanks Ross.

I see this attitude so much. Last night I was in a group of people (mid-40s) and they started talking about their beta blockers, heart stents, high blood pressure, and on and on. Everyone saw it as inevitable to become dependent on their doctors for survival. No discussion at all on losing weight or trying to eat better. “They tell you they are subject to headache or dyspepsia, or other disorder, as if it was out of the question to think of preventing it.”
