DR., SHADES DISCOVERY
UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Quite an Undertaking and RespOn-
sibility.

The interest shown in The TINES investiga-

callers at The TINES Office in quest OF more
information bearing on the subject. To all OF
these We can only say-bear patiently with Us.

will be followed TO the end, and if by so doing
it will benefit only q few OF those who are
