Men of learning and observation
profess to have proved by experience
that the sun flower is a certain pre-.
v%cntivc of fever. When planted near
kitchens, negro cabins and in locations
where the residents had been subject
to chills and ievcrs, these diseases
have been avoided. The sun flower is
believed, by its rapid growth to absorb
the quality in the atmosphere that
produces fever. That wlach il highly
obnoxious to the health Of the human
body is the proper food Of the sun
flower. Should this opinion be %rccciv-
ed as correct, it will cause the sun
