matism is marvellous, and there are
more than two dozen remedies for in
cipieht consumption of the lungs.
Boxwood bark is nearly equal to
quinine.
Cedar apples, which Walt Whit
man discourses upon as cedar
Plum" are useful in a common COM
plant of children, and cedar berries,
the aromatic and slightly sweet little
blue fruit of the cedar tree, are re-
commended in tincture or infusion for
dropsy. Four parts or varieties of
the dogwood are enumerated as of
medicinal value, and as many ferns
are named. The male fern is rem
edy for tapeworm, and the female
fern is good for lumbago and coughs.
All the old-fashioned flowers and
several table vegetables find place in
the list of remedies. The ladyslipper
is for the nerves, especially in hys-
terra, and larkspur seed is for dropsy.
Lettuce is for colics and coughs, and
asparagus roots for the kidneys. The
blossom Of the ox-eyed daisy is re-
commended for asthma, consumption
and dropsical complaints. The peo-
ny is for weak nerves, and the red
rose is for "hassik hemorrhages and
catarrhS.
Most of the popular medicines are
represented in the stock of the botan-
ic druggist by their original elements.
The makers of such remedies deal
largely with the wholesale houses,
and so do the makers of drugs, tine
lures, ointments and embrocations.
Forty or fifty herbs, plants and flow
ers indigenous to California and Aus
tralia are among the newest editions
to the stock of the botanic druggists.
There is an extensive exporting
business connected with the trade in
medicinal herbs, and the druggists
keep, aside from the dried herbs in
their natural state, a quantity of fresh
ly powdered roots, herbs, barks and
flowers, domestic and foreign. Ali
these articles are sold by the pound
or ounce, and received by the whole
salers in bales, bags and boxes, great
and small. There is small army of
men, women and children the world
over gathering roots, herbs and plants
for the botanic druggists, and there
is much care and expense put upon
the culture of things.
Prices vary from season to season,
and quotations cannot be long de-
pended upon. Many of these raw
materials are expensive. Larkspur
seed sells at S. per ounce, and sassa-
fras pith, quantity recommend in an
infusion of rose water for sore eyes,
fetches ST an ounce. Many of the
herbs that go to make familiar medi-
cines seem very cheap.
The botanic druggists keep also
many extracts worth from 81 to IS. so
per pound, and scores of essential
oils, as of anise, of catnip, of golden
rod, of horseradish, of rue, of sage,
Of calamus, of parsley and of penny
royal. The art of extracting these
oils is part of the herb doctors knowl-
edge, and as we'll of the manufacture

TRY A GLASS OF WATER AT BEDTIME.

The human body is constantly un-
dergoing tissue changes. Water has
the power of increasing these tissue
changes which multiply the waste
products, but at the same time they
are renewed by its agency, giving
rise to increased appetite, which, in
turn, provides fresh nutriment. Per-
sons but little accustomed to drink
water are liable to have the waste
products formed faster than they are
removed. Any obstruction to the
free working Of natural laws at once
produces disease. People accustom-
ed to rise in the morning weak and
languid will find the cause in the Sc
cretion of wastes, which many times
may be remedied by drinking a full
tumbler of water before retiring.
This materially assists in the process
during the night, and leaves the It's
sues fresh and strong, ready for the
active work of the next day.

N1HEN disease attacks the ner-

Sleeplessness, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
