At this point in Maitland's medita-

arrived at decision. She straight
ened up suddenly, with a little reso-
lutte nod of her head, lifting one small
foot to her knee, and fumbled with the
laces of her shoe.
Maitland grasped her intention to
abandon the machine. with her deter
mination to wade! Clearly this would
seem to demonstrate that there had
been breakdown, irreparable so far
frail feminine hands were concerned.

about the cheap BARRIERS bay rum. did

oil.
"This bay oil is mixed With ordi-

Heart Strength or Heart Weakness, means Nerve Strength, or Nerve Weakness-nothing more. Pos. ttively not one weak heart in hundred is, in it. self, actually diseased. It is almost always hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault. This obscure nerve-the Cardiac or Heart Nerve simply needs and must have. more power, mora stability mora controlling. more governing strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fail and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves.
