An Apple A Day by PG Wodehouse.

 In these times of sorrow and plague, The Word Den arrives with helpful advice on both health and self-isolation, via the incomparable wisdom of the British philosopher PG Wodehouse.

An apple a day, if well aimed, keeps the doctor away.

How true, my friends. 

How very true.

Word To Use Today: apple. The Old English form of this word was æppel.

The quotation above comes from Carry On, Jeeves, which has other good bits in it, too.
