It is a wen known scientific fact that disease aI- |ways attacks the weakest point and the generally run down person has many weak points. Therefore, he is liable to have all kinds of disease if he dosen't watch out. ranlac is tonic which builds up the whole system in the natural way. eliminating the poi sonous matter from the system and giving nature a chance to do her work.

Ieeberas and Echoe.,

1cebergs are always a source of worry to the transatlantic steamship shippers. 1t isn't pleasant to run along through fog or a murky night and smash into one of these floating moun- tains of ice. The liner captains have . way of finding ice that at first strikes the landsman as curious. When it is suspected there are bergs in the neigh borhood the whistle is kept going. If there is an echo the navigator slows down and keeps g sharp eye out, for echoes don't grow in the open ocean.
