Testing the British Navy.

1t has long been British policy to
maintain a naval force that should be
superior to any combination of oppon-
ents, and in order to see if their pres
ent navy is up TO the standard a series
of tests have been arranged for. EX-
perts claim it will be the greatest ma
val display ever assembled. The great
est medicine ever compounded for
common ailments of mankind during
the past SO years is the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t has been
subjected to the most severe tests and
the results have always been satisfac-
tory. Then, why experiment with COM
paratively unknown remedies when
you can just as easily get Hostetters?
