Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 September 1893 — The Peaceful Quakers. [ARTICLE]

The Peaceful Quakers.

The late Dr. Agnew, of Philadelphia. said that catarrhal affections were almost unknown among the Quakeresses whom be attended, and he ascribed it to the fact that the Quaker bonnet protects the back of the head and the nape of the neck from cold air. He might have gone further and added that the Quaker women have come nearer than any others of their sex to discovering the perpetual bloom of youth. One meets in and about Philadelphia scores of Quakeresses who retain in old age fresh, un wrjnkled faces, clear eyes and erect figures. The peace and health of their spirits seem to inform face and figure.-
