The chairman continued:--- From the profit and loss account. you will observe that the net re- sult of the year's working is a loss, of $27,129,59. This unfavourable showing is traceable to two main causes: firstly, a smaller turnover of business, and secondly, though not less important, the unduly severe competition with which we have had to cope, leading to un- remunerative rates for storage, both of which factors have contributed to a shrinkage in the gross earn- ings. Towards the close of the year, however. there were noticeable signs of improvement, and it is to be hoped that this favourable fea- ture will develop during the pre- sent year.

Strengthen your body against Feverish Diseases
The chance of catching malaria and other fever- ish diseases is far greater, if the power of resist- ance is lowered. Lack of minerals in the body usually causes this lowering. Tiredness, heart troubles, irritability and dizziness are signs that your power of resistance is below par. Prevent serious trouble by taking Kalzana tablets regularly. Kalzana replenishes the mineral content of the body and blood cells in a.... perfectly natural way, strengthens the whole system, and so prevents serious infectious diseases, such as malaria, skin rashes, etc.
