There's a great deal of talk about
"bood-making medicines" No medi-
cine can make a drop of blood. Blood
is made from food. Blood is the life
fluid, but that life fluid depends on food
for the clements wherewith the vigor
and vitality of the body are sustained.
For this reason Golden Medical Dis
covery' has n wonderful effect in in
creasing the quantity and improving
the quality of the blood, because 1t
strengthens the digestion and increases
the nutritive and assimilative powers.
1t is only as food is perfectly digested
and properly assimilated that it can

KING JOHN and THE ABBESS
AN OLD WORLD STORY WITH A
NEW WORLD MORAL.

The story carries us back to feudal
times and has been cleverly done into
verse:
"kirg John and the Abbess Ana
Walked in the garden one day
When he cunninsy sought TO prove her
And all OF her nuns in gray"
Good Mother" said the king. you
are shut in here in solitude and peace.
But tell me, do the waves of worldli-
ness which break against the high con-
vent wall send no dash of spray above
its top? Are there no dreams of love
or ambition that creep past all your
convent guards and nest in these
maiden hearts?"
"Just then, high over the garden
There flew to the wide free land
A bird, and the Abtess Ana
Followed its fight with her hand"
eve cannot hinder the passing
OF the wild winged oerhead,
But well we can keep it from building
Its nest in the garden" she said.
A wise woman was the Abbess Ana.
