The Oldest Woman in the World and her Son
Baba Vasilka is 126 years old, and her son Tudor is
101. They are peasants, and have lived all their lives
in a little village in Bulgaria. They are typical examples
of people who live to a great age by the use of soured
milk, as it has been their principal food all their lives.

PREFACE
This book has been designed with a view to meet anextensive demand for definite data on the subject of
Soured Milks. The author has had this matter brought
before him, times without number, by those inquiring
for authentic information on the subject, and he has
therefore considered it desirable to gather together
such information as is available in connection with
ancient and modern practice. He has endeavoured to
present this to the reader in concise form.
The author is indebted to many friends for their
assistance in getting the book together, and would
specially mention Dr. H. B. Hutchinson, Bacteriologist,
Rothamsted Experimental Station, for assistance in
connection with the bacteriology of fermented milks;
Mr. Thomas Douglas, of Wimbledon, who has assisted
with the chemistry of the subject; Mr. S. Javrilovitch,
of Belgrade, Servia, for local information and
illustrations; Dr. Otokar Laxa, Bacteriologist, of
Prague, Bohemia, for general assistance; the editor of
Bacteriotherapy, New York, U.S.A., for the use of the
group of illustrations 30-44; the publishers of the
Centralblatt für Bakteriologie, Jena, for the group of
illustrations 14-29; and many others, some of whom
are referred to in the text.
