THE SUNFLOWER AND QUININE.
Discovery Made That Plant Yields
Splendid Febrifuge.

be used as substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
of Paris with reference to the same
subject. Accordingly the sunfower
should not only by its growing exert
great fever-dispellng effect, but also
yield product which is used advan-
tageously in all fevess.
The common sunflower is an Amer
lean plant. It's original home is
stated by eminent botanists to be

at is all very well" said the lee
turer, 'to say that other religions are
as good as ours. Take Mohammedan-
ism, for instance, that cruel creed.
Take the Lords prayer of Moham-

daily in every Mohammedan house
hold and mosque. This is it:
"T seek refuge with Allah from
Satan, the accursed. In the name OF
Allah. the Compassionate, the Merci-
full. Oh, Lord of all Creatures, Oh,
Allah, destroy the infidels and polythe,
lists, thine enemies, the enemies Of
the religion! Oh, Allah, make their

sions, and their race, and their wealth,
