Mr. EiitoT:

Of the human family, and perhaps the in
human also, ever since Adam vas driven
out Of Eden with orders to shirk for him
self In early times the question wa,
doubles. simply one Of supply and demand
bot in these modern times that phase of the
subject has faded somewhat into the back
ground while that Of purity has become the
central thought.
I did, not however, start in TO tell you
what know about the adulteration of food
That subject has received a thorough over
hauling within the past few days by an ADLER
bodied party than myself, who offered ire
si.table inducements to people to come and
hear the truth. But |. sir, approach the
people of this vicinity With great diffiience.
inssmuch az have no little bottle of LIQUID
charm to entice them, but am armed and
equipped with the facts as | see them, and

Pure Horse Radi.h
in wide mouthed bottles and differing from
the equestrian radish Of our daddies, inasmuch
as the compound consists of white turnips, a
large quantity, a very little radish and that
exceedingly coti-h, with acid vinegar sufii-
cient to submerge. How different from that
old time product of the spring garden blowing

The "teeny" taste we took -oh-ah-
caused us to exclaim from the recesses of
