any pharmacy. Take tablespoonful
OF the tea, put a cup Of boiling water
upon 1t, pour through sieve and
drink ateacup full at any time. It Is
the most effective way to break cold
and cure grip, as 1t opens the pores,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking cold at once.
It Is inexpensive and entirely veg
etable, therefore harmless.
