not show the cause of the divorce, the
domicilc of the defendant, nor

Five years of reckless imitation can
not be overcome in few months or
without everybody experiencing his
share of the shrinkage. When the call
sounds to war and patriotism is at
white heat prudence and conservatism
are forgotten. but when the battle
flags are furled, the horrors are ap-
praised and war finance is audited in
cold reason, courage abates and pes
simism energies from the shadows. We
have had an hilarious time tossing
money into the vortex of war and
now are experiencing the sad awaken
ing to the fact that we must pay our
debts. About the only consolation for
each sufferer is that his fellows are
sailing in the same boat.

WEAK NERVES
DUE To SICK
GLANDS
Many ''Nervous Wrccks'' Taking
Animal Gland Treatment
With Splendid Results

Recent scientific discoveries will be Of
particular interest to the thousands of
people suffering from nervous diseases.
It has been found that our nervous sys-
TENS are largely under the control of our
ductless glands. When our glands are
healthy our nerves are calm and strong.
But when our glands become rundown
our nerves quickly give away and we
soon suffer nervous breakdown.
The old way Of treating nervous COM
plants was to drug the nerves. In other
words it attacked only the symptoms.
But now we 60 to the cause-we build up
ou. rundown ductIess glands. And this,
it has been found, can be accomplished
by feeding them with extracts from the
glands of sheep and cattle.
This new method Is embodied in .
remarkably effective preparation called
Clandex Compound. which contains these
extracts, also iron and other health
builders in tablet form. Many physicians
are prescribing this new treatment for
their patients, and the results as they
report them arc truly renaxkahle. Men
and women Who for years suffered with
various nervous diseases experience de-
cided relief in an amazingly short time.
Neurasthenia. however. is not the
only ailment for which Glandex Com
pound can be effectively used. Thousands
are taking it for anaemia. old age and
its attendant weaknesses. lack of energy
and general rundown conditions.
