The Tribune is indebted to William
1 Morgan, who recently returned to nis
, home north of Elbert from southern Ar
izona, for a curiosity in the form of a |
••Resurrection" plant. This plant is a!
native of Mexico, and derives its name, I
we suppose, from the fact that it appar
. ntlv comes to life when placed in water. \
i When out of water the plant closes up i
. into a ball anti the leaves resemble those
of a dead pine, but when placed in water (
for a few hours it gracefully unfurls j
itself into a b.-autiful green plant.

For a hundred years or more witch ha
zel has been recognized as a superior
remedy, but it remained forE. C. DeWitt
A- Co., of Chicngo. to discover how to
combine the virtues of witch hnzui with
other antiseptics, in the form of a salve.
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is the best
salve in the world for sores, cuts, burns,
bruises and piles. The high standing of
this salve has given rise to counterfeits,
and the public is advised to look for the
name “DeWitt" on the pnekage, and ac
