That our American forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable

by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-

advent Of tho whito race. This informa-

1t is a tragedy apparently of worldly
disappointments intensified by iniu-

in financial position for some years
past. He was a very popular figure on
the country side. and an extremely az
fectionate husband and father. It can
only be assumed that he went mad with
the thought that the persistent tale Of
misfortune showed no sign Of intending,
and made up his mind suddenly that
he would put his loved mes and him
self out of the reach Of possible misery.
