Interesting Statement of a Sufferer
Who Has Tested the Remedy.
Treatment

Ignorance is the cause of all misery"
so said sage philosopher many CEN
turles ago. And even in thus enlightened
age the theory still holds good and is ex-
emplited daily in a thousand ways.
Practically all diseases result from =.
violation of the natural laws of health.
There would be less disease were these
laws more generally understood and
obeyed, but the fact remains that pri-
marily 1t is ignorance that makes the mis-
chief.
Yet in natures laboratory there is a
remedy for every ailment were 1t only
known and properly applied.
The medical profession has made many
important discoveries within the last dec
ade-notably the X ray and DR.. Koch ;
cure Tor consumptIon-but II remained
Cor the doctors of the Hudson Medical In
stitute of this City to evolve an effective
treatment for ervous debility and all the
distressing diseases incident thereto.
Their name is legion, and range all the
way from the first decline in nerve
strength TO the desperate condition which
causes utter despair
But, thanks to the new discovery, de-
spalr can be thing of the past The
remedo-treatment of the Hudson doctors,
which has been aptly named Hudyan,
seems to have changed all that, at least as
regards this class OF diseases. It's fame
has spread rapidly, and the Institute is
now treating sufferers in all parts of the
United States. There is no fiction about
this. 1t is plain fact, for the writer was
given access to the correspondence and
had the privilege of seeing several thou
sand testimonials, about whose genuine
ness there cannot be the shadow of a
doubt Here is one that is characteristic: :
ST LOUIS, No, March IA, 1897.
Hudson Medical IRStiUte-GENTLEMEN: Accept
my heartfelt thanks. l am improving Won
deriully. Feel like a new man. l am not
bothered with that dull headache and low
spirits l sm much stronger. don't feel
stupid end confused and cowardly. This is
saying good deal, for you know when first
wro-e you was Oh the verge Of committing
suicide, tor mad tried so many doctors win
no results, and life seemed not worth living;
but now that you are doing so much good for
me everything seems changed.
Now, you may use Ibis letter as you see fl
and il there Is any unfortunate who does not
believe that you can cure him ask him TO
write 70 me anu will tell him what you have
done Tor me. Yours truly, F. r. CORNISH.
The Hudson Medical Institute, through
its discovery, has evidently inaugurated
a new era in the field of medicine as re-
CARDS remedies for men. Ii shows that
this Is a progre ssive ace, and that what
was only a possibility dozen years ago
Is now an actually, all of which prompts
the question, Will wonders never cease4

The First botanic Gardens.

After the discovery of the medical
properties of plants it must have fol.
lowed, in course Of time, that represent
atives Of tho species to which remedial
properties were attributed should be col
lected and grown in some place conven-
ientty and readily accessible, as need de-
minded. The last step did not immedi-
atcly follow, however. since, among the
conditions which were earlier supposed
to jn6uence the potency of medicinal
herbs, the locality in which grown and
the mysteries attending their collection
were Of the greatest Importance. The
FIRST authentic record of the introduction
Of medicinal plants into cultivated
plots Of ground dates no farther back
than the time of the elder Pliny, 23-79
A. D., who writes of the garden Of An
tonius Castor, at Rome, in which were
grown a large number of medicinal
plants. This step may have been taken
much earlier by the Greeks, Chinese or
Mexicans, however.
Later the Benediotine monks of north.
ern Italy paid great attention to the
growing Of remedial herbs and devoted
an important proportion of the monas-
terry gardens to this purpose. This prac-
tioe was also carried beyond the Alps,
and In 1920 o garden was in existence
at the monastery Of St Gall, in Switzer-
land, few kilometers distant from Lake
Constance. which contained 16 plots oc.
cupied by medicinal plants. A garden
of this character was founded in 1909 at
Salerno aid another in Venice in 1880.
In 1909 the Benediotine monks founded
an academy called "Civitas Hippocrat-
ica" at Monte Casino. in Campania,
which appears to the writer to be among
the earliest schools, II not the first
school, Of medicine and established in
connection with 1t "physics garden" 4"
