"lI was a sick woman for ten years," she continued. "My {ll health wast caused by overwork and then a severe shock which shattered my ner- vous system and I had a complete breakdown. I wad in the hospital for a year and when I came out I wasn't very much better. I had headaches that nearly drove me out of my mind, and all the sleep I ever got was after 1 was completely exhausted. 1 was as weak as a baby .and- went down from one hundred and thirty-eight pounds to a hundred and six. I-was 80 pitiably pale and thin that you wouldn't have recognized me for the strong, healthy woman I used to be. "It was my husband who per- : suaded me to give Tanlac a trial. He read of a case in the papers which almost described my own and he was convinced that it would help me. That was just before Christmas, and that bottle qf Tanlac was the best Christmas present I ever had, for it was the turning point of my illness. The first thing jf did was to make me sleep better, a ti soon my appetite improved, and I began to eat as I had not done for years. My whole con- dition steadily improved and I gained fn strength and weight rapidly. I now weigh one hundred and thirty- six pounds so that I have gained thirty pounds and really I feel fine. For ten years I have been trying to find something to restore my health, 80 you can imagine how thankful I am for what Tanlac has done for me." Tanlac is sold in Kingston by A. P.

'They are evidently not constructed for the use of children, as they can only scale their dizzy heights by climbing the steps on their hands and knees, They are evidently not constructed for the general use of women past middle life, for they have to be hauled up or rescued coming down--Ilike women in a drowning ac- cident or a house on fire.

In the early days of its history the earth grew rapidly by the addition ot meteoric matter. It is still growing in the same manner, though scarcely to an appreciable. extent, for the mass of meteoric matter added year- ly is reckoned to be omly 20,000 tons. In the course of ages the larg- er planets have swept up practically all the fragments of the original dis- ruption, and the only available source of supply of meteoric matter seems to be that brought by comets. | Pencil Fwister | Brest Mate a means of training In agility.
