MY feet were greatly swollen, my
right arm was shrunken and twisted
inward, the fingers of my right hand

pain. Nothing seemed to give me more
than temporary relief.
Now, during all this time and for
about 30 years previously. drank
daily an average of 6 cups Of strong
coffee-rarely missing a meal.

her own hands and bought some

He could look back to where the
weary horses huddled beneath the

the structure of the retina OF the eye.
The impression Of a letter at the

his precious inexperience in the line

Try as he would. he seemed UNI
able to pay her any direct compliment

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the

where an operation is the only resource, but thousands Of

station did so with the idea in mind
that when operating at its highest ef-

that 1t would be able to establish d.

Tasmania to Have 5000 HORSEPOWER
Sufficient to Develop All Her

When the water power OF Greai

Tasmania, is harnessed to electric
generators the island will be almost
completely electrified.
The Island of Tasmania is located
south of Australia Its area Is lit
tie over $4,000 miles and 1t has
population of 1S1. 900. In the middle
of the island at an altitude Of 3.4o0
feet Is the Great lake. storage reser-
voir provided by nature herself.
The area of this sheet of water Is
forty-one of Tasmania's square miles.
The outlet of this lake is the River
Shannon. At this outlet a company
has recently been formed to construct
a weir to regulate the flow. The wa
ter will then be diverted from the
Shannon into a lagoon, from which
steel pipes will be laid SO as to ere
ate an effective fall of water for over
1000 feet vertical
1t Is calculated that in the power
house to be erected at the foot of this
fall electricity of the value of $1,000
horsepower can be generated all the
year rotnd, sufficient to work the de-
veloping industries Of the whole
island.
