YELLOW SKIN.

Although the following is not universal
in its application to the people of the West
it is worthy of the attention of a large num-
Der found here:
r our Western friends can in any way
teach their wives, daughters, or cooks to
keep the pearIash out of the bread, all the
yellow people, especially the yellow chill
dren, who are supposed to be turned yell
low by the fever and ague and bilious fe-
vers, will soon be turned white. It is
great mistake to suppose that the yellow
countenances of the West come from bile
when it is only the enormous quantities of
pearlash eaten in the bread that is reflect
ed through the skin. Bread is the staff of
life it is said-and so it is; but it is the
staff of death too, in this country. Bad
bread kills about as many people as bad
rum. So many people eat poisonous
peallash for bread that they die by inches
Dyspepsia, the great monster disease of
the country, that deranges the liver, brings
on costiveness, and thus finally kills the
human victim-is half the time pearlash.
Here in the East, out Of New England, we
have nearly driven off the pearlash salera-
tus cooks, but not altogether Pearlash
lives here vet in bread, but in cities and
towns we have nearly whipped out the
murderer In the distant western
towns, beyond the good hotels of the lakes
and rivers, pearlash, under the name of
salaratus, is king. tits pearlash for break
fast, pearlash for dinner, pearlash for sup
per. Is it any wonder then that the peo-
pie of the East turn yellow in the West,
and scken: not of fever and ague, bilious
and congestiye fevers, but Of pearlash three
times day.-Phlladelphia Ledger.
