THE YEAR 1908

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!
The year is 1908.
One hundred years ago.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1908 :
************ ********* ********* ******

The average life expectancy was 47 years.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph..

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!

The average wage in 1908 was 22 cents per hour.

The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year .

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .

Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which
Were condemned in the press AND the government as ’substandard.. ‘

Sugar cost four cents a pound..

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used
Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from
Entering into their country for any reason.

Five leading causes of death were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars.

The population of Las Vegas , Nevada, was only 30!!!!

Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea
Hadn’t been invented yet.

There was no Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn’t read or write.
Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, ‘Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health.’( Shocking? DUH! )

Eighteen percent of households had at least
One full-time servant or domestic help.

There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE ! U.S.A. !
And organized Barbershop didn’t exist

Now I forwarded this from someone else without typing
It (all) myself, and sent it to you and others all over Canada & U.S.A
Possibly the world, in a matter of seconds!

Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.

The talking frog joke

An 86 year old fisherman was sitting in his boat one day when he heard a voice say, ‘Pick me up.’    He looked around and couldn’t see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again,  ‘Pick me up.’ He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.   The man said, ‘Are you talking to me?’ The frog said, ‘Yes, I’m talking to you. Pick me up. Then, kiss me and I’ll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.  I’ll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because you will have me as your bride.’ The old fisherman looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket.    Then the frog said, ‘What are you nuts? Didn’t you hear what I said? I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride.’ He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,   ‘Nah, at my age I’d rather have a talking frog.’

Dealing with epilepsy

I have a senior citizen aunt who is suffering from epilepsy. I seen her several times having those attacks and to tell you honestly, I still feel very tensed and totally scared whenever I see her shake.

Those attacks made her prone to injury in the advent of sudden attacks whenever she is outside the comofrt of her house. She had an attack once and luckily one good neighbor saw her and brought her back home.

Here are some suggestions on how to reduce the risk of injury when attacks happen.

1. Always carry proper identification that indicates the exact nature of the disease.
2. Make sure that everyone around you knows what to do in case an attack shows up.
3. Avoid situations that are dangerous when you are having seizures like working in high places or swimming alone.
4. Follow the rules about laws regarding driving with epilepsy.
5. Do not stop taking your epilepsy medications.
6. Do not take any other medication unless it has been cleared by your pharmacist or doctor.


How do you spend $1600? If you’re a health buff, you may have spent it on a personal trainer, gym enrollment, supplements and a lot more. That’s if you have that much money to spend. Well, I don’t so, I kept myself healthy for just $77.

Does $77 sound any better? It should be considering the huge price difference. Tell you what, in over 3 weeks, you will be losing around 17 lbs. That is how effective this program is. And if you are still reluctant, if this product does not work in 8 weeks, you can have all of your money back! Great deal right? So click here now to and start losing all those fats!
