is a man of position and a force of
character that wins admiration and

before his well-known form and kind

made the occasion of hearty welcome
and the story of his illness and re-

cane now, but when 1 come out on the
slippery pavements | feel that l neeC
a little support to make my footing
sure The doctors said could not wall
again but here l am, and l think the
credit must be given to the pills. 1t i;

cannot say that they give me any SEN
sations that am aware of. They merely
cure and that is quite enough for me-
