Historical evidence shows that milk thistle was used extensively as far back as 2000 years ago, though it really came into its own in Germany in the 1960s with the seeds being used to cure jaundice, hepatitis, haemorrhoids, liver problems and the depression and melancholy which can be associated with them.
A judicial summons is served on a person involved in a legal proceeding. Legal action may be in progress against the person, or the person's presence as witness may be required. In the former case, the summons will typically announce to the person to whom it is directed that a legal proceeding has been started against that person, and that a case has been initiated in the issuing court.
In general you must receive a summons personally or by certified or registered mail for it to be valid in court. For example, if you get a traffic or parking ticket, the officer physically hands it to you on that there is an appearance date. You can receive a summons to appear from a duly sworn officer of a court, a process server or even from a regular person. What happens is on the date of the summons if you do not appear the judge will ask the complaintant or complaining witness if there is Proof of Service.
