Fern Roots Contain Esprit Of
Strengthening Out" Is the Be-
lief Of Some Indians.

The Nomad, writing in the Boston
Evening Transcript, says he can well
remember that in his tender boyhood
he was not infrequently cured OF the
most alarming internal troubles by
the mere sight of bowl OF thorough
wort tea. Since that day he has wan
dered far and wide and the most re-
markable cures that he has ever seen
we're performed on Indian reservations
by women wise in the use of remedial
herbs.
He has seen an aggravated case OF
inflammatory rheumatism cured by an
Indian woman by the administration
of a decoction of the root OF the fern.
Why the fern? Any Indian or other
woodsy person could tell you that.
When the fern sprouts up out OF the
ground in the spring it is all coiled up
in a tight twist, Just as rheumatic
person is twisted up. But little by 1T
lie the fern plant unfolds as IT grows;
II straightens out and becomes tan
| and graceful and sturdy and happy
Now where did the power to straighten
out reside? 1t must have resided in
the root of the fern plant, of course
in the very substance of that fern root

of Strengthening out. Therefore, II
YOU want to cure a rheumatic person

the simplest thing in the world.
