Bug Hookum come to the
session at the country store Sat-
urday night with a clipping
where this young feller out in
Oakland is allergic to just about
everything in the world, includ-
ing air. Bug said he took spe-
cial note of the item because
\ he gits a touch of hay fever
now and then, and he knows it
must be tough if being alive
makes you watery eyed, choked
up, broke out and sneezed out.
He said his heart went out to
this feller that can t’do much
except breather filtered bottled
air and drink distilled water.
The piece Bug read to the
fellers set them to talking about
ailments and cures, one of their
favorite subjects. Isaaq Com-
fodder hardly ever says any-
thing at hte sessions, but when
he talks it’s usual about some-
pun new and mysterious that’s
wrong with him. The rest of
the fellers know how Isaac feels,
since at our age we don’t have
to look behind to know that
somepun is back there gaining
on us. Ed Doolittle said when
he come in Saturday night, fer
instant, that it looked like the
first cool snap had undone all
the good the summer sun was
able to do with his bursitis.
And it was Ed that picked up
on Bug’s report. He said from
what he could learn research
ought to be able to^come up
with some relief fer that poor
feller, but the other side of that
coin, is that in to many cases
the cure can be worst than the
disease. He said he had saw
where doctors in England have
come up with a vaccine that
does away with tooth decal. He
said this miracle was about a
lifetime ot late fer him, and his
store-bought teeth, and be had
to find out more before rae gits
excited about giving eve/ child
a shot at age five and^putting
dentists all over the world out
of work. The report said the
research took nine years on
monkeys, and it ain’t been tried
on people. We may find, Ed
allowed, that the shot saves the
teeth and dissolves the gums.
Zeke Grubb, added a report
where monkdys thta had been
give aspirin had cleaner ar-
teries, which doctors took to
mean that regular doses of as-
pirin will prevent heart at-
tacks. Zeke was agreed with
. Ed that we got to be careful
we don’Mcause bigger problems
with all our solutions. It’s a pro-
ved fact, Zeke said, that to much
aspirin bum out the stomach
and causes ulcers. So we got to
decide if we want less risk of a
