A BUSH REMEDY.
Few people' realise the value of the corrvnon milk thistle. The milk from this plant is about the best cure for warts that T know of (says a correspondent 1 of the "Sydney Mail"). While going to school in the bush 'I was told by an old : shepherdl that the milk would take a fine crop of warts that I possessed right away. I followed his advice, and a few applications of the fluid proved hita to be right. That gave l me an idea, and I next tried it out on warts on the teats of our milking cows. These growths' disappeared, too, and I never fail to recommend: the thistle as a cure for any kind l pf warts. Tea made 'by boiling the' stalks in water and then straining the fluid is particularly soothing to the nerves, and I have met people who were very insistent that milk thistles would eventually prove to be the only cure for cancer. !
