Mrs. McKinlev has been an invalid for 23 years. About a year ago the wife of Senator Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, having learned that the medical skill of some of the best phvsicians of this countrv and of two specialists of Europe had failed utter ly to benefit the lady of the White House, persuaded her to take a tea made of herbs that an Indian chief recommended to her (Mrs. Davis) for certain ailments. Mrs. Davis expressed the utmost confidence that this herb tea would benefit Mrs. McKinley, and she has not been disappointed. A marked improvement in the condition of the president's wife is reported. She can now stand unsupported on her feet, something she hadn't been able to do for years, can go out riding, feels very much stronger generally, and has gained about fifty pounds in weight.—South Bend Times.
