D. r. Csstidsy, of Rawlins, Wyom-
ing, has taken the long journey from
his home to the city of Mexico for the
sole purpose of drinking pulque, says
the Two Republics. He has tried
nearly every other beverage known to
man, but none seemed to fit the case.
1t must not be inferred, however, that
Mr.. Castiday drinks for the pleasure
there is in the habit. 1t is q very
serious question with him. "For q
long time" said he, 81 have been az
fiicted with a disease of the kidneys
and in my search for a cure have trav-
eled over q good part of the United
States, including California. L found
very little relief and at last DR.. Mag
hee, ,of Rawlins, advised me to go to
Mexico and try pulque. The virtues
of tina drink are not unknown at my
home, as friend of mine came here
not long ago and after two months of
pulque drinking returned cured of q
bad case of kidney trouble. That
made me feel hopeful, SO here l am;
but," and Mr.. Castiday sighed dole
fully as he spoke, II don't know how
OF pulque ss soon as got mere and as
a result have been laid up in bed part
of the time since. But l am going to
stick to it as I've beard of its benefit
ing a great many people," Mr.. Casti-
day has been engaged in sheep rails
ing in Wyoming for the past twenty
years and is fine specimen of the big
hearted, genial western man.
