Laporte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: We are
very thankful to you. for most every
week there is something needful and
useful which we learn of in the Club
Notes. We have two sons, 10 and 20
years, and they have never had dose
OF medicine from doctor yet but
they have often taken the Home Health
club prescriptions as | give them, and
what suffering and money it has saved
us, the Lord only knows, and what I
have been able to pass along to others
ing home remedies l have found of
great value to myself and friends. Sim
mer beef marcus and pounded plan
tain leaves together and use as salve.
1 have seen it used for acid burns when
nothing else would do any good, with
the greatest ease to the sufferer, and
the burn is soon healed and well. Steep
plantain leaves as a tea and drink it
as needed; is very good for women at
the change of life, and in many cases
they will pass over that period without
knowing it. MRS. q. V.
All such letters are encouraging, not
only to me but to others. have just
received another letter telling about
the same benefits derived from tea
made from plantain leaves.
