The Frying-Pan

A CAUSTIC observer says that the devil of indigestion holds full sway in some localities, because the frying-pan has a firm grip on the affections of the people. He complains of seeing tall, gaunt men, with sallow faces like a corpse, having perfect satisfaction with the country, but a lack of high, strong ambitions; women, gaunt, haggard, and hopeless-looking, all traces of womanly beauty long since gone, every line of their faces showing want, privation, neglect of all sanitary laws, and unvaried monotony of unwholesome food; little children, flabby, yellow, pallid, with old faces; and you will be told that this is malaria. But it is the frying-pan. Give them wholesome boiled and roasted foods, abolish grease and boiling in lard, and let them make their meals on fruits, clean vegetables, and cereals, and within a year's time you would not recognize them as the same beings.—The Commoner.
