Cucumber Long Delicacy

De Candolle says that cucumbers
were originally from the East Indies.
but other botanists ascribe them to
Asia and Egypt. Literature proves
them to be more than 5000 years old
in Asia, and it is known that they
were brought into China 140-S6 B. C.
They were known to the Greeks and
Romans and were mentioned by Pliny.
who says that they were grown in
Africa, and that they were such a
favorite with Emperor Tiberius that
he had them daily on his table.
Charlemagne ordered them planted on
his estate in the Ninth century, and
they were grown by Columbus in
Haiti in 1894. Capt. John Smith men,
lions them as being cultivated in vir-
ginia in 1854.

Silver Leaf Healing

Nilver leaf has been found to be a
sup4rior substitute for salyes and
tinctures in the treatment of cuts,
WOUNDS and burns as demonstrated by
many experiments at the hospital Of
the Vienna university. The silver leaf
is simply laid on the wound and its
effect is greatly to accelerate the heal
ing process.
Not only does it rapidly dry up the
wound. but It apparently exerts bac-
tericidal action, as result of which
infections and other complications can
be avoided.
