HYGIENIC!
"If you wish to live-a hundred years," says Rev. Dr. Haywood, of New York, "go back and board with Moses. The simple diet he prescribed is far more conducive to health, happiness, and longevity than the miscellaneous bill of oysters, crabs, and snails in the restaurants of New "York." If you would live a hundred years, Strong, vigorous and hearty, If you'd be quit of quakes and fears, In short, a stoufc old party, Then to the great Aforetime press, Ere this fine offer closes, Achieve the far-off Wilderness— Go back and board with. Moses.
Just how the trick may <be achieved I haven't half a notion; Perchance (I trust I'm not deceived) You drink a magic potion. ' But Jimmy Welch ("When Knights Were Bold") Could tell us, one supposes: Hey, presto! to the past you're rolled, A paying guest for Moses; .
The proper route by which to go May bo abit elusive ; But once you're there, the grub, you know, . ■ ' . To health, is must conducive. At quail-on-toast and manna, pray Don't elevate your noses ; You're safe to 'get it every day When at the Hotel Moses.
Farewell to oysters, crabs, and snails! Adieu to "bubbly water"; ■ Mosaic diet hard as nails Will mak« you—or it oughter. , No longer will you pine and peak, But fresh as iSharon's roses . -You'll be, good gossip, if you seek A Horn© from Home with Moses. —London
