Talks for the Homes is Of timely inter-
est:
Lettuce is an absolute preventative of
smallpox. No one is in the least particle
of danger Of catching smallpox who eats
a little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic class
of diseases. Sailors, at sea. deprived of
fresh vegetables get scurvy. Scurvy is a
another Smallpox always RACES during
the winter season when the poor people
are deprived of fresh vegetable foods.
Celery and onions are, good for this
purpose but there is such a long inter
val between their being gathered and be-
ing eaten that they lose most of their
anti-scorbutic properties. Lettuce is
served shortly after it is picked and hence
will prevent smallpox.
We say without the least hesitation or
reserve that lettuce will prevent small
pox. 1t is thousand times better than
vaccination. 1t has no liabilities like vac
cination, to produce other diseases. We
are willing to stake our professional repu-
tation on the broad statement that any
one who eats lettuce daily will not catch
We hope that every reader who has
confidence in our statement will pass this
along. We wish every person to know
and reliable remedy. The lighthouses
where lettuce is raised in the winter time
are so numerous that lettuce is placed
within the reach of all. No one need be
deprived of lettuce simply because it is
winter
Ten years ago it was impossible for the
masses of the people to get lettuce dur
ing the winter months. Now it is not
only possible but very easy indeed
Lettuce is an absolute specific as pre-
tentative of smallpox All fear of small.
pox may vanish when this simple pre-
caution is taken Should this remedy
seem to fail in any case, we would be glad
to be notified. There has never been d
failure up to date and we are anxious to
know if one should occur. We have alb
solute confidence in lettuce as a proven
tative of disease and do not hesitate to
assure any one that there is no danger of
acquiring smallpox so long as the sys-
tenn is fortified against it by this natural
and potent preventative.

Smallpox Preventatives.

When Portland was afflicted with a
smallpox epidemic. there happened t
be in the city a man who had served In
the English army as surgeon, had beer
in the East and knew by personal expert
ence and almost constant contact, all
about the smallpox.
the smallpox and other like diseases are
to be avoided:
Don't eat pork It is good friend OF
the smallpox and is to be avoided.
Keep clean. Dirt assists the smallpox
to get footing and the disease doesn't
like a clearly person.
Don't leave the house in the morning
until you have eaten something, full
meal if possible.
During the day if you happen to have
an all gone feeling, remember that an en-
counter with the smallpox would be with
all the advantages on the side of the dis
ease. Go to a restaurant at once and get
something hot. Indigestion is bad, but
smallpox is worse.
Don't fret, Anything calculated to get
mind and body in bad condition will
over you. Take things calmly. Fear
greatly helps the disease, because it takes
something from mind and body alike.
Eat good well cooked food and u plen-
ty of it.
Keep out in the open air as much as
you can. Get the best possible physical
condition ard then fight the disease with
the odds in your favor.
Get vaccinated and that at once. A
swollen arm is bad, but the smallpox is
worse
do not recklessly expose yourself by
going needlessly into crowded and bad
~ ventilated place, but if you must SO,
see to it that it is after eating a good
meal"
He said that he had seen thousands OF
men exposed to the disease without TAX
ing it, and that in his belief man in
good health and an observer of the above
rules, would find himself to be practically
an immune
How many followed his advice here of
course no one knows, but certainly some
did, and a local doctor said that it
seemed to him that they rested on the
enduring bed rock of common sense.
