BANTING AND PUNCH. THE aurist of distinction who first gave William Banting the hints as to diet which reduced his weight by two and a half stone 1 was Mr. William Harvey, of Soho-square. Writing to his brother Tom in 1863, William describes him as "oldish," but "A I." The letter, with others, formed part of the grangerised " Comments on Corpulency [and] Lineaments of Leanness," by W. Wadd, surgeon extra- ordinary to George IV., which was knocked down for X40 at the recent Broadley book-sale at Messrs. Hodgson’s. The book should have gone to a large medical library. William Banting was an unconscious humorist and the cause of wit in others. He refers to his obesity in his quaint pamphlet as " the parasite of barnacles on a ship. If it did not destroy the structure, it obstructed its fair, comfortable progress in the path of life." Punch began on " Banting in 1864. According to his nautical metaphor, Mr. Banting had been in dock 20 times, but had effected no repairs till he came under Mr. William Harvey, F.R.C.S. Punch sings as follows :- Some glutton has stated that brave Mr. Banting Himself has succumbed to the system he taught. ’Tis false, and he lives, neither puffing nor panting, But down to a hundred and fifty pounds brought. He’s done it, and so may each overfed nigger Who’ll simply adopt resolution severe To avoid, if he wouldn’t grow bigger and bigger, All bread, butter, sugar, milk, taters, and beer. Take a fresh lease of life and commence a new era, Mr. Banting’s adv’ce makes one long to begin- "Drink claret and sherry, good grog, and Madeira, Take four meals a day and-grow gracefully thin." Such is "The Banting Code." On another page we have " The Banting Restaurant Joint Stock Company (Limited)." " This will devote its earnest attention to the preparation of viands which, whilst excluding, as much as possib’e, saccharine, farinaceous, and oleaginous matters, shall nevertheless administer, in the highest degree compatible with the absence of those savoury substances, to the pleasures of the palate." The humour of mere corpulence abounds in the Punch of 1864-65, but obesity is apparently always regarded as a result of over-eating; pathological obesity, such as Daniel Lambert suffered from, is not recognised. INTRUDING ANTS. To the Editor of THE LANCET. SIR,-Recently I have heard many complaints concerning ants (sometimes called emmets, pismires, &c., in the country) getting mto larders, pantries, and food-cupboards. Perhaps the prolonged drought has left them free to multiply. Latterly I was puzzled to know how ants got into the house, but accidentally discovered one means. The portable dust- bin used to stand on concrete, but some weeks ago was placed on earth in the corner of the garden. The ants had made a 11 hill " underneath it, and when the dustbin was carried through the house to the front roadway for the periodical removal by dustmen, the ants clung unseen to the bottom of the dustbin, which, being heavy, was put down half-way through the house. Then some of the ants scampered around unseen inside the house. They find their way without much delay to the food-cupboards and pantries. I have read of mixtures of paraffin and benzoline in equal parts, and of a mixture of snuff and powdered black hellebore. I know that many people pour plain paraffin on the tracks outside the house, lay about sticks of firewood soaked in creosote and paint places with carbolic acid inside the house, but these methods are not I pleasant to use near food. Perhaps there are other methods. The above are at least 30 years old. Of course I know one can always kill them individually, but it is tedious work.
