<News>: (105) THE REJUVENATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONEL [sic] FOLLOWING THE REJUVENATION OF AESON: I read in Mr. de Chompre's book that the aged Aeson was in earlier times perfectly rejuvenated by making him simmer in a stew-pot with a multitude of small spices, such as marshmallow roots, lizard, sticks of liquorice and toads... but the precise recipe of this stew has been lost... I have imagined new ingredients, but unfortunately they are devilishly expensive! I think I would have done better to preserve my old fellow by —having him stuffed by Mr. Gannat!
