plaintiff. Mr. Silva added that that these were more than sufficient to meet the judgment, and applied for a stay until the goods were sold.

:

Mr. Sin, however, strongly op- posed. Certain goods, he said, were delivered to defendant some time ago. Defendant pocketed the, pro- ceeds after disposing of them. Re- peated demands for payment were: unsuccessful. Finally, defendant made out three cheques, at the same: time requesting plaintiff not to pre- sent them at the bank until the end of May. At the end of May, defen- dant requested plaintiff not to pre- sent them until some time in June.. This continued, until August, when' the cheques were eventually pre- sented and were dishonoured;

Judgment with costs was award- ed plaintiff.

QUICK RECOVERY AFTER ILLNESS

Very often a period of convalescence · is much more critical than the actual'. Illness that preceded it. Your whole body is left in a state of complete ex- baustion. You have no strength to combat any renewed attacką. ·~

Doctors and nurses realize the im-. portance of a speedy recovery, after illness. In Horlicks they have found a highly nourishing food that can be easily digested when all other foods:

cause nausea,

Horlicks rebuilds your exhausteds body. Convalescence is shortened. You feel full of vigour and vitality. Always keep Horlicks ready at hand. In these difficult times of anxiety and worry, the task of carrying on and doing work which must be done lak doubly difficult one which must tend to exhaust one's nervons energy. Horlicks builds up strength, vitality and prevents that listlessness and tiredness, catised, by constant, nervone strain. H. M: Hodges, 408-408; Asin Building Queen's Road, Hong
