Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away,

children, for whom have served thee, and

wages, and I will give It. And he said unto
him. Thou knowest how I have served
thee, and how thy cattle was with me. For
It was little which thou hadst before I
came, and 1t is now increased unto multi

my coming; and now when shall provide

On one Of his visits home Jacob

words:

In the use Of plantain, one must u4s
good judgment and each one must ex
pertinent to some extent. l have fre-
quently given the formula for making
infusions of all kinds from various
herbs, which is one ounce of the herbs
to one pint of water, sleeping usually
for about half an hour. The dose or
nearly ali infusions will vary from .
teaspoonful to two or three dessert
spoonfuls, three or four times daily.
A dose of the tincture varies from five
drops to 15 drops. It is a popular
remedy for all kinds OF hemorrhages
and the bruised leaves are excellent
for burns, bruises, stings Of insects,
bites of mosquitoes, etc. It is also re-
markably eficacious in poisons OF all
kinds. An old negro now living in
the south obtained his freedom by dis.
closing q nostrum for the bites Of
snakes, the basis of which was plain

pressed juice Of plaintian and hore~

be repeated as often as the stomach
would bear, and the same to be applied

most herbs, best when in blossom.

questions about whooping cough.
How long does it take after one has

At what stage of the Whooping cough
does it become contagious? How does
it become so? Can it be caught from
the clothing. Kindly give us a simple
home remedy for it. Sincerely yours,

The disease has a period Of incuba-

one may come down with 1t at any
time from four to IA days, after being
exposed. 1t would become contagious
at any time after the infammatory
condition of the throat is noted. The

has never been found any specific
germ which would be declared guilty
of carrying the disease and in the abb
