At Verdel, Nebraska, the wife of Fila Sherman, his seventeen-year-old daughter Vivian and his thirteen-year-old daughter Esther died within a week after they had eaten corn prepared in an aluminum pan; very sad, but quite to be expected.

Mrs. Louis Cook, of Ohio, bought a set of aluminum ware at a big price. After using for a time she noticed in the kettle a crystal, like salt, touched it with finger tip, and tasted.

Don't allow anything we may say to stop you. You have a right to die by a self-induced cancer the same as anybody else and should be protected in that right; only don't get sore when somebody tells you about it.
