Looking through some correspondence of our late father -- almost exclusively commercial letters, dealing with his mail order purchase of antiques -- we found an amazing, unattributed letter, sent by an unknown quack to an unknown lady in Saginaw, Michigan. We have no idea who Mrs. George U. Wright was, nor how this letter came into the collection of much later material in which it was found, but we were amazed by its prescience. Even in 1931, someone knew that eating all that "devitalized" food was bad for you. Our only regret is that the brochures it refers to weren't preserved, too.

Anyway, click on the thumbnail to read this remarkable artifact from the past.
