THE MITCHELL CAPITAL — FEBRUARY 12, 1892
An Akron, Ohio, Man Tries a Novel Cure for La Grippe.
H. E. Miller, off Akron, Ohio, thinks he has a sure way of preventing the grip, and, though the treatment is heroic, advises all people to try it. Every morning at 5 o’clock he goes out into the back yard, naked, and for ten minutes rolls around in the snow. This practice he has kept up for two weeks, although the temperature sometimes has been as low as 16 degrees below zero. When snow is not on the ground, he takes a tub of ice water. He has not had a cold this winter, and attributes his excellent physical condition to his snow and ice water baths.
