names of herbs used, as all our herbs are catalogued under Chinese 

 names. If you will look at the picture of our herb room in the front of 

 the book, you will realize that we carry a complete stock of herbs. It 

 is in this room that the herbalist oversees the preparation of all herbs' 

 to be sent out. Herbs are compounded to meet individual needs, and 

 about 20 varieties go into each package, depending of course on the 

 ailment.

Yours, 



C. A. MILES."
