Fine Old-Time, Medicine.

That excellent combination of senna leaves and figs which grandma used to prepare is still just as good as any all around liver regulator and laxative we know for habitual use, if anyone must use a laxative habitually. Some people say it is hard to mix. But think how good it is and how cheap! A five-cent package of senna leaves, a ten-cent box of figs; chop fine and mix* thoroughly on a plate with spatula or knife blade; preserve in a fruit jar and dole it out whenever anyone in the family needs it—a little lump, sort of a "chaw." It isn’t bad to take. Best time is in the early part of the day, for senna ordinarily acts in five or sic hours.—William Brady, M. D., in the Chicago News. 1
