Alcock believed then there would be a flying-boat service across the Atlantic in 12 months' time. That was sixteen years ago. Their own journey took 15 hours 57 minutes a time that hasn't been very much improved upon despite the North or South Atlantic having been crossed 36 times since. Amelia Earhart and Jimes Mollison have crossed twice and von
Gronau three times by the Arctle route. Twenty-eight people have perished in trying to follow Alcock.

If the Band' were closed you. would! expect trafle congestion and the troubles that result therefrom. Tho same applies to the four rouds through which the poisons generated
in
the human body escape-the breath, perspiration, the kidneys, and the intestines, Constipation closes the serentest of these roads, throws the polsons back into the system and trouble follows.
When conscious of such congestion in your own system try Pinkettes. Gently, yet quickly and surely, these dainty little laxatives dispel consti- pation and liven up the liver, thus correcting the causes of billiousness, vertige, floating, spots before the eyes, sick headaches, conted tongstle, foul breath, Pinkettes also relieve piles. Sold by chemists everywhere.
