Book excerpt: Excerpt from Family Secrets, or Hints to Those Who Would Make Home Happy, Vol. 1 Dining out l exclaimed Mrs. Stanley, every body dines out, especially bachelors. What can you mean, George? I mean simply this, that the love of dining out may lead to habits extremely objectionable in a medical man. He may, for instance, when called upon to act in some critical case, be altogether unnerved; and the mere fact of his being reputed a man too fond of wine, will be injurious to him as a doctor.
