CAYENNE PEPPER AS A REMEDY FOR GRIP AND 

 COLDS ; SEE PAGE 853. 



In the summer of 1899 a friend of mine who is a 

 member of the Ralston Chjb told me cavenne pepper 

 was good for the grip. But to take it either in butter 

 or milk did not come up to my idea of taking medi- 

 cine, so I emptied some quinine capsules and filled 

 them wiih pepper Since then I have purchased some 

 three grain empty capsules and filled them with cay- 

 enne pepper and have taken it in this form ever since. 

 Now. whenever I get a chill or have that burning 

 heavy feeling, or in any wav feel a cold coming on. I 

 take one of those capsules just before going to bed ; 

 and although it .sometimes feels pretty hot in the re- 

 gion of the stomach, >et in the morning I am quite 

 myself again. Both my-elf and all our family slop- 

 ped every cold, Vjoth last winter and this, in this way. 

 I do not give this in any argumentative spirit ; but if 

 you get as much benefit from it as I have I shall be 

 onlv too glad to tell vou of it. Henry Pillar, Jr.

SPRAYING FRLIT-TREES. 



The question of spraying fruit-trees to prevent the 

 depredations of insect pests and fungus diseases is no 

 longer an experiment but a necessity. 



Our readers will do well to write VVm. hlatil, Quincy, 

 in., and get his catalog describing twenty-one styles 

 of Spraying Outfits and full treatise on st>raying the 

 different fruit and vegetable crops, which contains 

 much valuable information, and may be liad for the 

 asking.
