How Prepared Household Remedies

There are some who will not employ

others who argue that we should not so

tloner. to prescribe 1t.
As usual the truth lies between the
two extremes and common sense ds all
that is required to find it. Safe family
remedies, tried by time and proved
valuable by experience will always have
their place in the household and there
are constantly occurring instances IN
which they may be properly and intelli-
gently used. A good tonic, safe for use
without a doctors prescription. with
complete directions for taking, Of dem
