You can never become a good bridge player until you learn to analyse the hund and plan the play In advance. In today's hand, for example, when Wesl becomes declarer at five spades and North hearts, many the klog of opens South

Recently the Hongkong newspapers have carried important news items regarding the discovery of a NEW vitamin in the treat- ment of pernicious anaemia (vide H.K. Telegraph Jan. 4, 1949 and. South China Morning Post Jan. 6, 1949).-
THIS IS CALLED VITAMIN B12. Another of the large B-Complex family. Because of the unswerving policy of VITA- MINERALS INC., GLENDALE CALIF., U.S.A..in manufacturing only vitamin products derived from 100% NATURAL SOURCES. AND NOT USING SYNTHETIC TEST TUBE CREATIONS this nows
of a "NEW" vitamin proves that VITAMINERALS policy of providing 100% natural vitamins in a naturally balanced formula containing all of the other vitamins and minerals--and exactly aşı, provided by Mother Nature-is the correct policy--and the ong that provides the purchaser with the greatest values,
VM's contain all of the known and unknown vitamin factors- because they are NOT synthetic test tube' creations and. because they are derived from 100% natural sources,
When you take VITAMINERALS you know that no matter what "NEW" vitamin is discovered in the future, you are already raking it...These so called "NEW" discoveries are always available to YOU when you ask for VITAMINERALS. You do not have to wait months for them to be created-synthetically you get them IN ADVANCE in their natural state when you specify V.M.'s. Scientific research has proven that vitamins are more beneficial * when taken into the body in their natural state: That's the way nature intended you to have them and the way VITAMINERALS supply them.
As general tonic we suggest you try VM 2BG For Anaemia we suggest you try....
