II was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, aud it
is easy to imagine the suffering I en-
dured.
Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good had
spent a hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. l then tried vari-
Gus patent medicines, but they did not
resnh the disease. When had finished
my<first bottle Of S.S.S., I was greatly
improved aud was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches OH my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely I
regained my lost weight, became strong

cE Qu'oN NANCE

Si nous en- oroyons le tsbleau
de statistique slimentaire public
par una revue alIemande ct que
nous avons sous les yeux, les An
glais sera1ent le peuple qui de-
pense le plus pour 50 nourrlture
ct qui mango le plus de viande.
Voici d'ailleurs les chifres don
n6s:
L'Anglais d6psnse On moyenne
240 francs par an pour go uourr;r,
le FranQais 235 francs, rAlle-
mand 2l0 francs, rEspsgnol 165
francs, rItalien 120 francs ct le
Russo LIS francs.
L'auteur 6tablit ensuite une dis
tinotion entire les peuples qui
mang6nt plutot de la vlande ct
ceux qul mangent plutot du. pain.
ct il arrive 4 cette conclusion,
assez loglque, 4 tout prendre, que
les pays Oh l'on absorbe le moins
de pain sont ceux Oh lon se nour-
rit advantage de viande, ct inver-
sement.
Ainsi pAngiais, qul engloutit ct
digere 81 kilos on moyenne de
viande par an, esest-A-dlre deux
fols plus que litalien at pres de
quatre fois plus que le Russo, ne
mango que 100 kllos de pain an
nuellement. Au contraire, le Rus
go, qui Wit surtout de pain (3l7
kilos), so contente d'env1ron Is
kilos de viande. LAllemand in
gore 280 kilos de pain contre 80
kilos.
Notions ioi que le Franeais, don't
le gont pour le pain est b1en con-
nu dams toutes les tables d'hote
de l'6tranger, absorbe neanmoins
43 k1los de vlande, ce qul le range
parmi les qlus grands carnivores
de rEurope continentale.
