"We saw a shell plank in the water and by that time we were all ready and we opened with our gun. So qid the other ship.
"Altogether that submarine fired only two shots. We let her have it pretty close and the last one we fred landed very near alongside her.
"After that the U-boat disappeared, think

"We fired three rounds from our 52070

take Hall's Wine
today
When you are tired and run-down it is a sign that through either overwork or illness your blood and nerve cells have become weak and unfit. There is one tonic that is specially prepared from the formula of a Doctor to strengthen your weakened blood and nerve cells, and that tonic is Hell's Wine. It starts to pour new strength into your veins within thirty seconds after taking--but its effect also is permanent; your blood and nerve cells are lastingly enriched and strengthened. Doctors and nurses everywhere prescribe Hail's Wine for their patients to overcome tiredness and depression, and also to build up strength after illness.
