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
icnal 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-
fists 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 in our brsad-or some cereal
foods, and iron from certain vegetables,
such as spinach and greens.
If there is ill-heslth then our best
method for recovering our standard
balance OF health is to 60 to Natures
Laboratory-the plant lie which will
furnish the remedy.
Buried deep in our forests is the plant
known as Golden Seal (Hydras.is) the
root of which Edwin M. Hale, NJ. D.,
Professor of Materia Medica at Hahne-
mann Medical College, Chicago, states
uIn relation to its general effects on the
system, there is no medicine in use
about which there is euch general UNI
animity OF opinion. 1t is universally
regarded as the tonic useful in all de-
blitated states" DR.. Hale continues:

ulates the digestive processes, and in
creases the assimilation Of food. Fly
these means the blood is enriched, and
this blood feeds the muscular system

Increased nutrition. The consequent
Improvement on the nervous and
glandular systems are natural results.
Sti1lingia or Queens root is another
root which has long been in repute as
an Alternative (blood purifier) and Prof.
John King, M. D., says OF it: San
Alternative unsurpassed by few If any
other OF the known alternatives; most
successful in skin and scrofulous afec-
tons. Beneficial in bronchial affections
