This is an age of germ fads. An
exchange hits off the situation in the
following: Drink water and you get
typhoid fever. Drink milk and get
tuberculosis. Drink whiskey and get
jimjams. Eat soup and get Bright's
disease. Eat beef and encourage apo
plexy. Eat meat of any kind and get
indigestion or some kind of germ
disease. Eat vegetables and weaken
the system. Eat deserts and take on
paralysis. Smoke cigaretts and die
early. Smo Ike cigars and secure nice
catarrh. Drink coffee and tea and
obtain nervous prostration. In order
to be entirely healthy, one must eat
nothing, and drink nothing, smoke
nothing, and even before breathing
one should see that the air is properly
sterliZed.
