ASPARAGUS 

 CHICORY 



Aside from its 

 valuable quali- 

 ties as an appe- 

 tizing vegetable, 

 it possesses such 

 medicinal prop- 

 erties which 

 should endear it 

 to the hearts of 

 everyone, espe- 

 cially to those . 

 who have an ex- 

 hausted consti- 

 tution or weak 

 nerves. The 

 benefit derived 

 from the use of 

 these stems, by 

 persons troubled 

 with stomach 

 disease or weak 

 digestion, is said 

 to be remarkable.
