The dandelion is a weed which has al

in the United States, though 1t is not
grown for market. 1t is very common
throughout the United States, except in
the extreme south and west of the great
plains. though it has rooted itself in GER

substances which the human system needs
and Botanist Colville finds the essentials
present in a great many plants. some OF
which are nowhere considered as effective

Mr.. Coville points out that wild herbiv-
