Mr. Tilford Bays;] The remedy is not a one and J it did not originate wltfy me, but it is not generally known that it b^s euratwo or mcdioinal powers.'' he Paid. , The Indians knew that dog fennel had powers as a medicine and they used it for a number of dis eases. The first use J ever board of it was beforo the war, when my fami ly kept a large quantity oP^liiskey, into which tne strength of the fon nel had been absorbed, and it was given to the negroes when they were nick with any affection of the lungs. I have seon cases of oousumptton completely cured after the patient had reached an advanced state of the disease, and I know that iLis a pqwerful and efficient ipedioip.3 The manner in which it- is pre* pared ia very simple. A mimhfir of the heads. of the fennel are put in whiskey and left to aoak for about two weeks. The whiskey will absorb all the juice from the weed in that time and it will be then ready for qse. The fjjixtqro is aboq^ t|)eb*t lerest thing you e/er tasted, bat the effect is worth the effort it takes to swallow it. A dose is .a tablespoon ful three times a day. I. bad a sis* tor who had consumption about twenty years ago and she t>ied this remedy. She did not leave Louis ville, (and recovered entirely and is living to day; One or two ot,ber per sons in my family also had consump tion and were cured by the u8e of this remedy. Mr. Tilford cannot explain the re sult of the use of the %ced and knows nothing about the scientific basis for the enrutiye power it has but he saysj he wants 'he general pnbUe to know of it, so that all can profit from the knowledge, witlrthe-hopo that he may redune tho tcrnbly largo death rate which exists in t^is couotry from ta berylliosis.
