from helping to lay out friend, and,
after two year treatment, had been
given up 10 die by doctors and friends.
Honey harvest had been unnsally heavy.
that year, and he noticed that as soon
as he began eating it he began to Inn

toms disappeared and have never re-

moderately at first, taking tablespoon

creasing until as much as a gill can be
taken at meal with impunity.
Anyone afflicted with cameron blood
