estimated that 900 different species
contain rubber. though commercial

only forty or fifty.

about as hypocrIticalIy as it was worn by

one day at the brewery with the white rib

Nothing was said to him and he wore the
ribbon for some months. Then one day tbs

DR.. Lapponi, the famous physician to

come so greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
pope, His Holiness Plus X, is man of

q mere man of science he is a man of
original and independent mind. I'm
trammeled by the "etiquette" of the

his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.

The "simple an@mia of Development
referred to by Cf. Lapponi, is of course,
that tired, languid condition of young
girls, whose development to womanhOod
is tardy and whose health, at that period,
is so often imperiled. His opinion of
the value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Tor Pale People at that time is of the
highest scientific authority, and it con-
firms the many published cases in which
anamia and other diseases of the blood,
rs well as nervous diseases such as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, st. Vitus'
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
have been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. Aftel
such an endorsement they will be ac-
cepted by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.
