The TALES you probably never heard about

JOHN SCANLON HAS NO BUSINESS FOR THE DOCTOR

Celebrated His 73rd Birthday on Saturday and Never Was Ill in His Life

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 11 January 1921]

John Scanlon, of Fonthill, on Saturday, celebrated his 73rd birthday. Mr. Scanlon enjoys the most fortunate and most unusual distinction of never having been ill a day in his life, and never having a professional visit from a doctor.

Naturally a man with such a record as this has built up a philosophy of living. He is against all the new-fangled notions of ensnaring health. He eats what he likes, and is out in all kinds of weather.
