The blossoms of the red clover
should be used. A fluid extract
has been made, of which the dose is

remedy is not new. We first heard
OF it as coming from France. Chan

commended for cancer. Arsenic

may prove q cure for the dread
disease. Tonics and constructives

listen with patience to sermon an

Fifty years ago, Christians could

not think it too much praise for
their God; now they praise him by

ssanzas. Christians could sing of
