Science Saves High School Girls Life
Mary Ann Martin lived! (
N She was suffering from asthma. Doctors puzzled why a girl of
sixteen should be so afflicted.
Then her father, Mr. Silas Martin, stepped in. -He sent her to
Dr. Avery, a professional diagnostician and specialist. Dr. Avery tried
out the new. food test by making four little scratches on her arm and
dropping into each one the essence of the foods in the girl’s diet. Into
the first one, he inserted the juices of meat, into the second the juice
of the potato, into the third, sugar, and into the fourth, the essence of
lettuce, / /
After three days, the first three scratches healed and the fourth
became inflamed. The discovery'was made. * He found that Mary was
“sensitized” to lettuce. He removed it from her diet and her case
was cured.
Mr.y Martin pats himself on the back and says he saved his daugh
ter’s life by sending her to a reputable doctor. When this same Mr.
Martin has his clothes cleaned, he does not ask the cleaner to show any
certificate of his ability. He sends his clothes to the cleaner around the
comer—and anyone can carry on a. business with a gallon or two of
gasoline and a wagon.
Mr. Martin neglects the life of his clothes because he thoughtlessly
sends them to a “quack.” (Copyright, 1922)
