1890 Thwarting Thievery

Mr. Edwin Metcalf wishes us to give the parties who have been stealing his cabbage warning that in order to kill the worms, he will give the remaining cabbage a dose of Paris green and, for a few days at least, it may be rather unhealthy to eat them.

My guess is this would be a strong reason not to raid his cabbage patch -- as long as they read this blurb published in The Fowlerville Review. It is almost too bad further reporting did not inform us of anyone affected!
