How to Cure a Cold.

“I’ll cure any cold you ever heard of and with one of the simplest remedies you ever saw,” said a lady vocalist of considerable reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. “It’s oysters. I’ve sung fourteen years here in the old country, and you may imagine that the climate has often got the better of my lungs, but I rely upon oysters, and they can be depended on. My husband told me of this kind of medicine and I don’t know how many years he had used them. They act just as beneficial on my children —and the next time you have a cough go to the oyster bay instead of the drug store.” -Boston Globe.
