Uses of Adder Fat

In picturesque England of the pant the adder
hunter piled his trade in woods and forests.
The last of the adder hunters died few years
since Mr. c. J. Cornish, in his book on the New
forest, has given interesting picture of this
worthy who was known "Brusher." He was
slung all over with bags of sacking, his pockets
were stuffed with tins and boxes, and from his
chest hung pair of long steel forceps. In his hand
he carried a light stick with a ferrule in which
when he reused the snake, he put short forked
piece of hazel wood, and, dartng it forward with
unerring aim. pinned the adder to the ground"
"Brusher" derived a considerable revenue from
the sale of adders fat" which regarded by the
inhabitants of the New forest a veritable phar-
macopoeia. 1t was believed to be remedy for the
bite of the snake and, according to Brusher" him
self-his real name, by the way, was Mills

rats and horses rheumatic joints and sore feet in
and dogs" could all be cured by the applica-

ing big corporations capitalized in the
east which have been stealing from
egregated Indian lands on the Sugar
Loaf Backbone, Winding Stair and
other mountains. millions of dollars
worth of pine. walnut oak and other
valuable timber. When the government
inspector reported the thefts it has
been the custom of the timber thieves
to admit their guilt and to pay certain
amounts into the treasury of the Indian
agency in lieu of the value of the tim
Der. Then the thieves would promise
not to commit any more depredations
upon the forests, only to forget their
promise and there has been a con-

You can enjoy it. You can digest

When a system is run down and
depleted it needs building up. Ashes
won't rekindle a fire ana wrong di-
gestive fluids will not take proper
juices from food no matter how good
the food is.
Is this common sense? Men spend

which when mixed with the saliva of
the mouth go into the stomach capable
of digesting a full meal and they d.
gest it to the uttermost shred Then
such a meal does a man good and it
gives to him the means to overcome
stomach troubles. Forty thousand
physicians use these tablets and charge
