| Description: | "Florida DUSKY DARLINGS! - Seminole Indians imitate 'the palefaces baby show' to find the perfect papoose." Florida, United States of America (USA). Line of Indian children is inspected by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in white suit, two nurses are walking behind him. This is perfect baby competition. Several close up shots of the Indian children. Dr. Kellogg tries to inspect the mouth of a very stubborn Indian boy who refuses to open it. A nice shot of another boy looking stubbornly at Dr. Kellogg with his mouth tightly closed - he is the winner. John Harvey Kellogg famed physician and health-food proponent made breakfast cereals popular, such as the toasted corn flakes (and later variations) marketed under the family name by his brother, W.K. Kellogg. In addition to his famed Battle Creek, MI, sanitarium, Kellogg operated a sanitarium in Florida, which he opened in 1931. | |
