Bro. Mobley and Microbes

Bro. Mobley, Of the Alexandra
Democrat, is pessimistic on the mi
erobe question. Listen 70 him:
Microbes in everything you eat and
drink, and if you eat and drink mi
erobes you will surely die, and if you
DOM eat and drink you will still
more surely die. Bound to surely
die in any event, you had better paw
no more attention TO microbes than
your granddaddies did. They ate and
drank everything they wanted and
they lived long and prospered. What
did Methuelah know about microbes
in his time? Eat and drink every
thing you want, microbes and all, and
you will live until you die and that is
what old Methuselah did-he lived
until be died, somewhere about 999
years.
