does he grasp at the stars, but believes
that Nature provides that which Is neces-
sary for our health and happiness.
When the womanly system Is deranged
beyond the stage where 1t will respond
to sunshine, good air, cheerfulness and
proper rest; when the balance of health
Is seriously disturbed this doctor believes

In our American forests are many plants
which correct and cure those distressing
ailments which cause women to suffer
with backache, bearing-down pains, pain
In the back or front of the head, nervous

the woods, have at one time or another
picked the beautiful blossom OF the
Iady's Slipper (Cypripediun). This is not
