GRANGE, so grateful to some,
seeps into the very blood
stream.
1t is said that nations
where the onion is incorpo-
rated into every meal carry
this odor with them wherever
they go in the very pores of
their skin. hair and even
finger nails.
Persons who find onions
hostile to their very thoughts.
as some do, might be able to
overcome their repugnance
by taking small doses, at
first, gradually working up
to large portions.
If, of course, they thought
the whole thing worthwhile.
AS it usually is, they can
see no reason for making the
attempt.
The old idea that an onion,
applied to the eye. was help
full no doubt came from the
tears it causes to be shed
Immediately on application.
Doubters will think that
perhaps all of its virtues, SO
called, arise in the same way,
from nothing much except
guess.
Old time botanical medi-
cine, from which herbal rem
edies arose. we're based more
on resemblance than fact.
They worked because their
makers and takers wanted
them to work. Even modern
medical investigators know
that a new remedy, no mat
ter how miraculous. does bet
ter at first than later.
The onion is no miracle
drug, but it gets there just
the same, especially when
the air conditioner throws UP
its mechanical hands and
gives up for the time being.
Then the only thing to do
is to pry open the windows
and wait for Gods air to
work its age-old wonders.

do little good in another. Some
physicians report good results
with light treatments. The newer

are, of course, used only under
