old Indian remedy known in our family
for several generations and nsed 80
successfully that we have never had a
felon Or sore develop, Is we used the
cure, in time. am very anxious to
have the remedy known. | wish it
might reach every family in the land.
Every time | hear of death from lock-

Put equal parts of good fresh wood
