hands of others, and at the same time to make a donation toour Tract Fund for the sending forth of free spiritual foodto the hungry. Accordingly the beans have been sent to ouroffice.We believe the project quite a proper one, and if the beansbe as prolific elsewhere as in Nebraska, we would be glad topurchase them at the rate of five beans for one dollar. (Wehave heard of seed wheat selling at one dollar per grain.)However, in view of unfriendly criticism of enemies, wethink it best not to sell these beans, but to give them free toour subscribers who have gardens, and who will request them--five beans each.Sister Smith writes that they should be planted one beanto the hill, and the hills six feet apart.

They will be ready to ship inFebruary.----------R4963 : page 26CURE FOR APPENDICITISIt is known that only about three out of every one hundredoperated upon for appendicitis really have a diseased appendixneeding removal. We give below a simple cure for appendicitissymptoms. The pain in the appendix region is caused bythe biting of worms near the junction of the transverse colonwith the small intestines, low down on the right side of theabdomen.This remedy is recommended also for typhoid fever, whichis also a worm disease. The medicine is Santonine: dose, 3grains, an hour before breakfast; repeated for four mornings,or until all the symptoms disappear. Then one dose per monthfor three months to eradicate all germs.This recipe is of incalculable value.
