Lettuce AS Smallpox Cure.

remedy for small pox, in the shape of
lettuce mo one IS in the least par
tlcle of danger of catching smallpox
who eats little lettuce every day."

pox belongs to the scorbuuc class of
diseases, Sailors at sea deprived of
fresh vegetables get scnrvy. Scurvy
is a typical scorbutic disease. Small
pox always RACES during the winter
season, when the poor people are de,
prlved of fresh vegetable FOODS. Celery
and onions are good for this purpose,

will prevent smallpox. We say with

lettuce will prevent smallpox 1t Is a
thousand times better than vaccination.
1t has no liabilities, like vaccination,
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 nor
catch smallpox, whether he is vacci-
mated or not

after the barber has gone over his
face the first time, has certain place
on his face to feel. to see il the barber

Every man / shave can look back

A little demand from the big operator
strengthened prices somewhat and July
sold up TO 7z3e97215c, but later prices

the chief bear factor. The absence OF
outside business had a depressing infiu-
ence throughout the session.
