Black walnut bark is a composition. It is almost equal to iodine, except it isn't poison. It is also a great fungus fighter.

Mullein heals and soothes the respiratory system.

Skullcap is a fine nerve rebuilder.

Hydrangea, uva ursi, and gravelroot are some of the best solvents there are in the herbal kingdom. They break up plaque and inorganic deposits and aid in cleaning out the body.

A year later, Dr. Christopher gave a lecture in a neighboring town in Arizona. Someone asked for the formula. He asked them how they knew about it, and they replied that a few months back, many in their town developed a terrible sickness, especially the young children. The doctors tried many medicines but nothing proved effective. A mother of a child asked if she could try a homemade remedy. The doctor gladly consented. In a few days, her child improved. Soon all were well. God bless and good health to you!

An Amazing Cold Remedy

I have seen many people who suffered with colds, flu, and other infectious ailments get a lot of relief from this combination.

It is also good for cuts, bruises, fevers, burns, and plagues. Many clubs and groups have made this formula and praise its worth.

It is easy to make and it keeps for a long time. Keep some on hand.

To make one gallon:

32 oz (8 parts) apple cider vinegar
20 oz (5 parts) glycerin
20 oz (5 parts) honey
8 oz (2 parts) garlic juice (press)
8 oz (2 parts) comfrey root concentrate
4 oz (1 part) worm wood concentrate
4 oz (1 part) lobelia seed or leaf concentrate
4 oz (1 part) marshmallow root concentrate
4 oz (1 part) mullein leaf concentrate
4 oz (1 part) oak bark concentrate
4 oz (1 part) black walnut bark concentrate
4 oz (1 part) skullcap leaf concentrate
4 oz. (1 part) uva ursi, or hydrangea or gravelroot concentrate

Make each concentrate individually. To make 1 part, soak 4 ounces of each herb in 16 ounces of water for 4 hours. Simmer 30 minutes and strain off herbs. To concentrate liq uid, simmer liquid on very low heat and reduce to 1/4 or to 4 ounces. Add all ingredients together to make one gallon of anti-cold remedy.

Dosage: Preventative, 1 teaspoon morning and night.

For colds, 1 tablespoon morning, noon, and night.

For flu, 1 tablespoon every other hour.

For plague, 1 tablespoon each hour.

Much more could be said about this wonderful formula, but space will not permit. If you would like more information about
preparation or ingredients, send an SASE to Joseph VanSeters, P.O. Box 1959 St. George, UT 84771.
