Garlic.

Garlic is one of the nest wholesome herbs that can be eaten.
 It stimulates all secretiOns, and it's effect is strong upon the liver and kid neys.
 A teaspoonfui of garlic juice and sug- ar will generally ward off an oncOming cold.
 Garlic eaters have good skins, for garlic is excellent in treating eruptions of all sorts.
 Those races that use much garlic in their food are those that are least sus- cepttble to tuberculosis. Many doctors in Europe treat tuberculosis with gar lie, giving 1t internally in the form of sirup, externally in the form of poul- tices or making their patients inhale an infusion.
 The essential principle of garlic, that which acts upon the system, is allyl sulphide. This also causes the charac- teristic and to many persons disagree able smell.--New York World

In the middle, ages feather beds found favor with the wealthy and the mattress was not used by Hem.
