TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known In the
United States.

Tea. not from leaves. but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals.
stamens. ETC.. are sun dried, and the
resulting tea Is OF a rich, deep brown
hue OF peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it Is an acquired one,
and even II this tea could be made
commercially possible. it is doubtful IL
it would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could ad-
vantageously take suggestion from
the brick tea OF the far east In our
country. the tea dust. some of which
is good quality. Is not properly
utilized. In Europe 1t is a regular
article OF trade. and it Is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America II is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from 1t the mixture
of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" II, as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks. good tea could be made from

I Um0RS CONQUERED
Overwhelming Proof that Lydia E. Pinkham'
Vegetable Compound Succeeds.

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia Z. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman S
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of tumor is so in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from its early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periods
accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
IL you have mysterious pains, If
there are indications of Inflammation
or displacements, secure a bottle of

herbs, right away and begin its use.

vince every suffering woman of its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.

Transmission Of Warts.

Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts are com
municable is warranted" says a
writer. "Inoculation Of healthy tissue
with blood obtained from a wart will
cause the growth of a similar ex-
crescence. 1t is thought that these
growths contain an ultramicroscopic
germ to which is due the transmission
from one person to another. At all
events, persons who have warts should
take measures to have them removed
at once"
