Cure for Consumption

The latest cure for consumption is the
peanut, eaten in quantities. IL seems
that a young woman who had been un-
der treatment for a wasting disease for
some time absented herself from the
physicians office for some time and
returned looking wonderfully better.
He inquired what she had been doing
to herself. Why" said she. nothing
that know of, only eating peanuts.
am very fond of them, and recently
have eaten as many as two quarts a
day"
by all means continue to do so. as
long as you find that they agree with
you" was the recommendation Of the
doctor. He tried the experiment on
other consumptive patients with sur
prising success. The claim Is not
made that there is any curative prop
erty in the peanut, but only that its oil
so nourishes the system as to enable it
to Withstand the inroads Of disease.
The oil can be bought separately. but
it is considered more beneficial TO par
take OF the nuts.
