Doctors in England.
The "food cure" is comparatively
new idea, introduced into England oy
several physicians of advanced IDEAS
who boldly advanced the proposltlon
that they can cure ordinary human his

cines, SAYS the New York Mail ADD Tx
press They claim that certain foooi
contain all the clements necessary tc
effect cures; that they have made np
list which embraces TONES, fehrifuges,
diuretics, and, in fact, every medicinal
agent that is defined in the pharmaco-
paia. These foods are of the simplest
character, but the English doctors do
not disclose them, except to their pa
tients. They say that in the course OF
ten years there will not be one-third
the medicine used that is used to-day,
and they point out the fact that the
sale of quinine and all antipyretics has
decreased in the last five years to a re-
markable degree.

of abundance


his portly professors, his bloated
bankers, his greasy scribes, and
his lusty lawyers, talked day and
night to the king: "These
ignorant and half-educated people
do not know what ails them, nor
what they need" said Mammon &
Co. "Besides, they are hired to
starve themselves and make all
this cutlery by these fellows who
raise such enormous crops of corn.
The corn producers alone will be
benefited by opening the mills to
corn. Just think what an enor-
nous pile of money they will make
if corn be allowed again as bread
stuff We, on the contrary, know
all about grain and bread, and
from our very position are utterly
disinterested. We neither grow
nor grind anything!"
Except the people and the
King!" INTERCEPTED the Kings fool
Scoring the unseemly inter-
lection, Mammon & Co went on:
"The people foolishly say they
do not want pound cake, and
clamor for corn bread, but we who
know, o King, declare that corn
bread is injurious to the digestion,
fit only for hogs, and that pound
cake, as our experience proves, is
far better for human food. 1t is
true that the people say they can
get no pound cake; that it is bey-
ond their means, is scarce, etc.
Yet as we can testify conclusively
there is plenty of pound cake, for
we have got it; yes, we have album
dance of pound cake and it is only
popular delusion which inspires
the cry for ash cake and corn pone;
for if they can't buy our pound
cake, how can they buy corn
bread?"
Quoth the Kings fool:
The more grist the mills grind
The more mouths 1t will find.
"Besides," continued Mammon
& Co., still scorning the fool, chow
can your Majesty find it in your
heart to deprive US of our monop-
oily for the benefit of a dirty rab'
ble?"
CHAT to be sure" said thu
King "would be conclusive, bu
