“Make a roast of lamb delicious by sticking a dozen whole cloves in the 
top of the raw meat and by sprinkling it evenly with a mixture of three 
tablespoonfuls brown sugar and one tablespoonful sweet marjoram.”

SIMPLES or MEDICINAL HERBS 
We have carefully prepared the following special “herbs for use and physic, 
not a few.” These as well as many of the culinary herbs were used as home 
remedies in pioneer times; and most of them still are recognized as standard 
remedies. 
he The constant demands of the time on our strength and endurance, makes 
it imperative that we keep ourselves free from minor illnesses which so often 
grow to major proportions. What more natural than we go back to the old- 
time tried and true remedies of our forefathers,—the basis of all our modern 
medical lore. A few of these follow. 
BONESET—Steep a level teaspoon in a cup of boiling water for one-half 
hour. Taken hot it is an emetic, cold it acts as a tonic. 
CATNIP—Hot catnip tea is a stimulant and strengthens the kidneys as 
well as the whole system. The tea also breaks up a cold. A little milk is often 
added to this tea. 
CELERY—Celery tea, strong and hot, is of value in the cure of sciatica 
and neuralgia. 
ELDER FLOWERS—Useful in rheumatism, gout and colds. 
HOREHOUND—A good tonic. The tea, sweetened with honey, is useful 
in treatment of coughs and colds. Used also in the well known horehound 
candy. 
HYSSOP—An infusion of this is a remedy for coughs, colds and pulmon- 
ary complaints generally. 
RUE—A bitter and aromatic stimulant very good for gas pains and colic. 
TANSY—Tansy tea was an old remedy for nausea, colds and rheumatism. 
WORMWOOD—A good remedy for weak digestion and consequent de- 
bility. Also a hot application of wormwood in vinegar, and a bit of salt, is a 
valuable remedy for sprains and bruises (with unbroken skin). 
YARROW—tThe infusion is used for colds and as a gargle for ordinary 
sore throat. It sometimes relieves simple intestinal cramps and pains, and the 
commencement of a fever.

PSYLLIUM SEED 
The New Remedy for Constipation 
Culpeper 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-—Inodorous, 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.
