work of Nature. An I've come here to
Okra to tell you about it. Travellers can
write of the mighty Amazon. poets can

China, the oldest an wisest of nations is
the country witch first doped out the com

people of creation. An to China we owe the

HERE, good friends, are some Of the ia
- nous an celebrated Hoang Ho nuts. AS
you will notice, they are green, avn been
picked from the Emperor's own forest just
outside the Forbidden City on the mornin'
of August 16-exactly two months ago.
When green they possess all their natural
values. The native Chinaman prizes the
God-given Hoang Ho best when 1t is in this
state; for at that time, LADIES' an Gentle
men, it is absolute an relentless foe to each
an every woe to witch human kind is heir.

kidney troubles, all sorts of female diseases,

these an more. 1t wards off sickness, re-
news strength an JOY of life in the halt, the
lame, an the blind, an prevents the posi-

lures of surgical operation.

vocal an instrumental entertainment fur

blooded son of King Nlenelek of Abyssinia,
a noted an talented Black Prince who has
been my friend an companion durin' my
last four trips round the world. During the
weeks stay l expect to make in your fair
city l shall undertake to dispose of the re-
manning three or four hundred Hoang Ho
nuts at the ridiculouSlv inadequate sum of
five cents each; but not tonight.
However, before the concert an before
you go to your respective homes, l wish to
demonstrate the taStiness of the contents of
the Hoang Ho. It's as pleasant to take,
kind friends, as the finest, freshest, and most
expensive candy. | 'aven't enough to go
