The Lord has given
some simple herbs
of the field that at
times are beneficial;
and if every family
were educated on
how to use these
herbs in case of
sickness, much
suffering might
have been prevented,
and no doctor need
be called. These
old-fashioned, simple
herbs, used intelligently,
would have recovered
many sick, who have
died under drug
medication.

I must be a learner
always as to how
to take
care of this
building, the body
God has given me
that I may preserve
it in the very best
condition of health.
I must eat those
things which will
be for my very best
good physically and
I must take special
care to have my
clothing such as
will conduce to a
healthful circulation
of the blood. I must
not deprive myself
exercise and air. I
must get all the
sunlight that is
possible for me
to obtain.
A cup of tea made
from catnip herb
will quiet the
nerves. Hop tea
will induce sleep.
Hop poultices
over the stomach
will relieve pain.
If the eyes are
weak, if there
is pain in the
eyes,or inflamation,
soft flannel cloths
wet in hot water,
and salt, will bring
relief quickly.
When the head is
congested, if the
feet and limbs
are put in a bath
with a little
mustard, relief
will be obtained.
Thousands who are
afflicted might
recover their
health if, instead
of depending
upon the drugstore
for their life,they
would discard all
drugs,and live
simply, without
using tea, coffee,
liquor, or spices,
which irritate the
stomach, and
leave it weak
and unable to
digest even
simple food
without
stimulation.
