PSYLLIUM SEED 
The New Remedy for Constipation 
elipepe: House, The Society of Herbalists, of London, England, says of 
Psyllium Seeds—‘“‘As a result of exhaustive experiments in the Laboratory 
of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, French doctors have discovered that the 
seeds of the Psyllium Plantago, a plantain found growing wild in the region 
of the Mediterranean, are a most excellent laxative—Inordorous, and nearly 
tasteless,—their action is simple. They swell and soften and give out their 
natural oils.” . 
A mild, but effective laxative, the Crushed Psyllium Seeds may be 
sprinkled over breakfast food or taken separately.

JELLIES anno JAMS 
Due to the increasing uncertainity of sugar rationing we reluctantly omit 
offering the popular jellies and jams in this issue of Herb Magic. We hope 
the sugar supply will have become stable enough by the time of next issue 
to allow us again to offer these very popular food items.
