"I'll ask if there is any definite, con-

from the throne made in this chamber
by the president when the senate is
vested with the sole treaty making
power? Is there any issue presented
in this address? Was it not rather
intended to forestall action by the
senate by appealing to public opinion
before the senate had chance to
discuss the questions? Was it not a
move to forestall and prevent action
and make us accept any treaty con-

NATURES WISE PROVISION FOR THE SICK

: In the days OF our foreparents, when
any Of the family got sick, the good
old grandmother would go out into
the garden, the fieldsy or woods and
gather certain herbs, banks, roots or
berries into which Nature had placed
certain healing and curative proper
ties for various human ailments.
From these banks, berries, roots and
herbs she would make sort of tea
which she would give to the sick one
as Natures own remedy for whatever
the ailment was. These good old moth
erS and grandmothers OF that day and
time knew just which root, herb, ber-
ny or bark to use in any case. Their
knowledge of the medicinal virtues in
each one had been handed down to
them from generation to generation
for centuries. She knew that GER
tain root or herb would act upon the
liver; another the bowels; another the
Kidneys; another for nervousness, In.
digestion or weakened condition and
30 on.
In this day and time medical seien
lists, as then, realize that when the
stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels be-
come clogged up with lot Of poison
Gus waste matter, they should be
reached with a medicine Of the most
reliable nature Otherwise, If allowed
to 90 on, these poisons would get into
the blood, be carried to all parts Of the
system, producing headaches, nervous
ness, sleeplessnesE, rheumatism and
various other dangerous ailments.
One Of theRe herbs was the Hepatica
plant, commonly known as liverwort
and used for liver trouble; the other,
Hydrastis or yellow root, now pre-.
scribed 80 often by leading physicians
