The carob tree is sometimes called the honey tree, from the sweet pulp contained in its pods while they are fresh.

Careful study of the spoiled child problem shows that such children do not outgrow their early habits, as parents often think they will. Many of them go through life with these attitudes and then develop mental and nervous breakdowns when they find they are not equipped to meet bravely the vicissitudes and fSigon sibilitles of adult existence. Out of gratitude for relief, after years of awful suffering from Gas Spells, Colic Attacks, Indigestion, Pains in Pit of Stomach, Soreness in Right side--GALLSTONES, I will tell anyone who sends a self-addressed, stamped envelope how to obtain the same help at home.
