inclined, while for trouble of the upper organs use largely
tender leaves and stems, but confine yourself more to roots

bark of wild fruit trees and small berries will aid them
in their development. Allow them plenty of milk when
thirsty. Invalids following the same rule will soon re-
cuperate and be as young as nature itself. In dryer climates
