How Nature Provides.
Our Beauty, Health and Happiness.

Is it not possible, and altogether prob
able that elements necessary for the
body-health are contained in the med
icinal roots found in the earth, digested
in the plant laboratory of Nature and
made ready for man or animal?
There is growing belief among scien-
lists that the vegetable kingdom fur
nishes Us with the necessary elements
for blood making and to keep that deli
cate balance of health that the human
animal is SO apt to disturb by wrong
methods of living. Thus we know that
we should get the phosphates from the
wheat III our bread-or some cereal
foods, and iron from certain vegetables,
such as spinach and green's.
If there is ill-health then our best
method for recovering our standard
balance of health is to go to Natures
Laboratory-the plant life which will
furnish the remedy.
Buried deep in our forests is the plant
known as Golden Seal (Hydrastis) the
root of which Edwin M. Hale, M. D.,
Professor of Materia Medica at Hahne-
mann Medical College, Chicago, states
Yin relation to its general effects on the
system, there is no medicine in use
about which there is such general I'M
animity of opinion. 1t is universally
regarded as the tonic useful in all de-
bilitated states" DR.. Hale continues:
vProf. John M. Scudder says, 1t slim
ulates the digestive processes, and in
creases the assimilation of food. By
these means the blood is enriched, and
this blood feeds the muscular SYSTEM
/ mention the muscular system because
/ believe it first feels the increased
power impaired by the stimulation of
increased nutrition. The consequent
improvement on the nervous and
glandular systems are natural results. >"
Stillingia or Queens root is another
root which has long been in repute as
an Alternative blood purifer) and Prof.
John King, NJ. D., says of it: vAn
Alternative unsurpassed by few if any
other of the known Alternatives; most
| successful in skin and scrofulous affec-
| tons. Beneficial in bronchial affections
permanently cures bronchitis-relieves
irritation-an important cough remedy
coughs of years standing being cured.
Aids in blood-making and nutrition,
and may be taken without harm for
long periods"
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. R. V.

with that of Stone root, Black Cherry.

In cases of weak stomach, indiges-
