Culp, Peter 

NEVER TOOK MEDICINE

And he is nearly eighty years old. 

Mr. Peter Culp, of this city, has a remarkable record in regard to health.  He 
is nearly eighty years old, and duringhis entire life has never taken any 
medicine. 

He is opposed to medicine and believes that it brings upon humanity half the 
ills of which it complains.  He is a hale, hearty old man and his only rule is 
in regard to his diet which he observes with scrupulous regularity. 

Many mornings he plunges into a cold water bath, and he is a great advocate of 
walking as a health exercise.  His health records is certainly a wonderful one.

Additional Comments:

censuses.  Peter is listed as being born in South Carolina.  Martha in Georgia.
