POINTS FROM LETTERS

ONIONS FOR DIABETES.

I have just seen the paragraph in your issue of March 7th, about diabetes and insulin. I have had this complaint for over ten years, and for nearly a year past have been having insulin daily. I should also like to say that I have also benefited greatly by taking daily three medium-sized onions, boiled, as a vegetable. I have put on flesh and experienced other good symptoms. I feel inclined, as I join in 0 all ye works of the Lord," to add to the text, " 0 ye onions Benedicite." I generally have carrots as well, so my experience confirms the truth of the paragraph in question. I desire no publicity so sign myself X.
