B REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION.
A correspondent of the “ Southern Plantation” writes as follows about the power of a well-known plant:—“ I have discovered a remedy for pulmonary consumption. It has cured a number of cases after bleeding at the lungs had commenced, and the hectic flush was on the cheek. I have tried this remedy to my own satisfaction, and have thought that philanthropy required that I should let it be known to the world. It is the common mullen leaves, steeped strong and sweetened with sugar, aud drunk freely. The leaves should bo gathered before the end of July, if convenient. The leaves of old or young plants are good, dried in the shade, and kept in clean paper bags. The medicine mnst be continued from three to six months, according to the stage of the disease. It is very good for the blood-vessels, strengthens and builds up the system, makes good blood, and removes inflammation of the lungs. It is the wish of the writer that'every periodical should publish this remedy for the benefit of the human family.”
