A Frog A Day
(N Z.P. A-Reuter—Copyright) BIRMINGHAM (England), July 13. Mr Archie Beesley, aged 57, of nearby Wall Heath eats a live frog every day. Mr Beesley, a welder, said that be had been eating live frogs for 46 years—that comes to more than 15,000 frogs—and had not once had an upset stomach. The frogs he eats are baby ones, less than in inch long, so small that he says that he cannot even feel them swimming round inside. Defending the frog that goes down his throat, he said: “There are thousands of people in this country who swallow vysters whole. Oysters are live too and they do the same work in cleaning the stomach.”
