The TALES you probably never heard about

FUN BETTER THAN PHYSIC

[People's Press, 16 June 1908]

             They were congratulating Sir Wilfrid Laurier, our first citizen, the other day on his improved health.

             “What is the secret?” one man asked. “No drugs, plenty of rest and simple food,” was the reply.

             It is within easy recollection when Sir Wilfrid was in poor health. He sought the attendance of the most eminent physicians in Canada, Great Britain and France.

             They all told him the golden secret as recorded- “No drugs, plenty of rest and simple food.”

             That doesn’t mean at election times, however, or on wedding occasions.

             However, Richard Moore, (Welland citizen), who has been troubled with rheumatism, says that in the excitement of the recent campaign, he forgot all about his rheumatism and threw away his cane.

             He says that if the Dominion election was to come off right away, he believes that when it was over, he could run a hundred yard race at the close.
