NEW REMEDIES: We are all fami- liar with the old quotation, There is I nothing new under the sum- and For every aiIment under the sun there is l a cure or there is none." The latter, of course, is absolutely true and don't know how one could prove that i the first in not also true, although
 many of the modern inventions would
 appear to contradict it.
 Last March te1egrams came from
 Paris telling of a new serum recently
 discovered which would "hea1 wounds I in a few hours,'' but up to the pres ent time it does not seem to have be- come as famous as the promise would l indicate. think can tell you whq. The cure was in the form of a serum and 25 horses were required from
 meter doses per month. The horses | from which a serum is taken must
 be in a healthy, well nourished com ditfon Horses are at a premium in
 all of the countries at war and, men
 are being wounded in numbers so
 vast that even the improvised hospi-
 tals are taxed to their utmost capaci-
 ty.
 l Nature, however, always comes to
 the rescue and in her gentle yet pow er.fuI way forces us to recognize the healing power which she supplies so
 freely and without the aid of the com pHcated processes used by the chem ist in producing serums equal in heal
 ing power to the saliva from the ton gue of healthy dog.
 Many months ago a man came to
 see me whom I found to be suffer
 ing with an ulcer on his leg. It had been in a horrible condition for over
 2 years and although. many doctors had tried to help the poor fellow, he .5a a
 he was about to go south and live for the winter oil a small piece of land that he owned there. told him what to eat and drink and for special treat
 ment of the sore. to remove the dress, ing bare the leg and sit in the sun, out of doors for 2 or hours every day, let the sun shine directly on it. The result was that the healing pow. CT of pure air and sunshine were greater than all the man-made medi- cines ever conn mpounded and he began to get we'll I have not heard from him for a long time and T think that the next letter will tell of his cure.
 Now, let's go back to the wounded men in the war fields of Europe. It. Is found that in vast number of cases, no treatment whatever can be given to wounds but the air and sum shine appears to do for the sufferers what the surgeons and nurses. cannot I knew a man who was shot 14 times by the Indians. He was left, as they supposed, dying, by his neighbors and family in the high grass of a, swamp, bullets had passed through each lung. Two weeks later, a. neighbor woman who had also been shot several times and left for dead, overlook him as they were making their escape to Ft. Sne1Iingx Before reaching the fort they overlook the woman's oldest son, Morton aged 12, carrying his brother Johnnie aged 4. Quite a number of my readers who live in the Northwest will femember these cases and the narfle of Mrs Layina EastIake and her sons and also the man Thomas Ire land. It happened over 50 years ago. Both Mrs. Eastlake and Mr. Ireland lived to be very old. Their wounds did not have dressings of any kind for about three weeks. They had no cooked food and but little of any kind; wild berries. plums. roots and some raw, green corn with plenty of pure fresh waterf They both washed their wounds freely whenever they could do so.
 am a thorough believer in Ma turess remedies and especially in the herbs and roots, fresh air, sunshine and pure water. These remedies are always new.
