An interesting read. First published in 1750 some of the advice is really quite modern whereas some of it is just bonkers - syrup of snails anyone?

Interesting to see advice given in the 1750s on living a healthier and longer life, but I had hoped for some humorously weird and wonderful ideas, but the advice given was all pretty mundane.
