it a pleasant remedy for both adults and chill
dren. The greatest difficulty that experience
in the way0f introducing this most valuable
remedy to the public is the fact that Smart
Weed is such a common and unpretending
looking little herb that people are apt to think
that 1t cannot possess any great or valuable
medical properties. Had l prepared my Ex-
tract of Smart Weed, put it up and labelled it
with some great name, and told the people
that the herbs of which it was composed were
collected in Africa by the Arabs, carried across
the Sahara desert on the backs of camels,
and brought across the Atlantic ocean for my
special use, and that its ingredients were
therefore very expensive, l have no doubt
that some would have been thereby inspired
with greater confidence in it. But prefer to
deal honestly with the people and tell them
that the chief ingredient of nv Compound
Extract is the modest little plant seen grow
ing by the roadside, in all parts of North
America, and known as Smart Weed. l be- |
lieve that God has caused to grow in each |
climate and region, those medicinal plants |

that prevail in the section of country where /

Smart Weed has been employed by the medl- |
