Renovate Your Feathers!

Might be worth a try. Samuel Halkard - my husband's great great uncle Ada May's maternal uncle. www.adamaygrimshaw.blogspot.com Here's part of the TOTALLY BIZARRE fine print: READ THIS Extract from a lecture on the existing causes of Diseases by Dr. Alfred L.Castleman, delivered at Milwaukee. "...Examine your feathers when first plucked from the fowls. The quill end of each one is loaded with grease, blood and other animal matter. They are laid away and could they be kept dry, well aired and never slept on, they would do no harm. But night after night, for years nightly are the dead matters of your bodies cast off by perspiration and respiration and mingled with the animal matter. Summer after summer has some member of your family sweated on the same bed: the poison causes his sickness and perhaps in addition to this your young children have slept on it and added to the foul combinations the still more disgusting excretions of their bodies...."
