Effects of Consultation

Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys-
tenn and often poisons the blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels. A
dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will af-
ford relief. Avoid drastic cathartics
as they take too much water out of
the system and their use is likely to be
followed by constipation.

general way, of the amount of
business the various bureaus are
handling. From the records of
the solicitors office it is possible
to obtain a comparison of the
amount of business handled for
the six mouths, April to Septem-
Der. inclusive, this year, and the
,amo,,nt of business handled, April
10 September, inclusive, in 1920.
SDnfing the months indicated in
-dicated IN 1920 the solicitors de-
;partment received 4,486 cases on
appealfrom the various bureaus;

corresponding months this year,
under: the administration of Sec
;retary Fall and the immediate
supervision of Solicitor Booth,
the solicitors Office received a
total of 7,449 cases and disposed
of 1854. In other words, under
the present administration, the
business of the solicitors Office has
increased nearly 100 per cent, and
yet. the Office, with no greater
force than was employed uuder

handled this increased amount of
work and disposed of over 100
