ofMcdical Science

Science has proved that the body
is only collection of cells and that
Nature requires twelve cell-salts to
keep the cells of the body in per.
feet health.
It has been demonstrated that
these cell-salts not only build,
nourish and repair the cells, but
govern the health and vitality OF
the tissue, nerve, blood, bone and
brain, Of which the cells are part.
These cell-salts attract and retain
the oxygen as it passes from the
lungs into the blood, and by their
presence in the cells repair, nour-
ish, revitalize and maintain the
vigor, vitality, health and energy OF
the cells, Of the blood, tissues,
nerves, veins, arteries, bones,
muscles and brain.
For many years Dr.. A. L. Reus-
ing has conducted an exhaustive
series Of experiments in his chemi-
cal laboratory to combine the
phosphates of calcium, sodium and
iron with the phosphates of potas-
SUM and magnesium, in a perfect
solution, ready for prompt assimi-
lation, so that rapid increase in
the number of red blood cells and
a greater percentage of hemoglobin
are produced in the blood.

WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT GEESE

we'll remember that when | was
about years old | went on Emile
hike out to see grandmother. On the
way had to pass where was always
flock of geese near the road side
sporting about in the brook-au
geese except one large gander, the
leader of the flock. I thought to have
little sport with them, so | gave a
yell and rushed down from the road
side, but before I could give them the
scare that | intended the old gandef
met up with me, and | was the scared
and surprised one. When he came a.
me and struck me with one wing, Their
gave we the other one and was
knocked down fiat, was in fact just
horse du combat. Then | learned nv
first lesson in geese. One days years
after when Misunderstanding around
near the city of Quebec, | came to a
small farm house where they had
many geese around the place, Talk
ing with the little old woman, |
learned that she had lived there since
she was young bride and they had
always kept geese. | discovered, too
tLat she was French lady, and such
fine satisfied geese they were. She
knew all bout fowls, especially geese;
told me that they often lived to be 70
or more years old and that she her
self had some then that were quite
Cd, One OF the most striking things
she had to relate was that she had
az one time 7 geese and 7ganders
Kept them together for period Of 10
years. Each year these birds paired
Gil and chose the same mates every
year asked her if there was never
black goose that would try to steal
ahothers wife. ooh, no. she replied
they never did anything like that !"
ana SO ! could, thought, plainly
see, why they were so very snug and
satisfied with their life with the old
canadian habitat.
