The Exhibition at Olympia was opened with.. out any great formality by his Royal Highnes, the Dake of Connaught, who was accompanied by his son, Fringe Arther, and Major Murray, and attended by Lord Montaga of Beauliou, and Mr. E.

With the closing of the Show comes the question: will the Olympia Motor Exhibition be dis continued for the future? The fact is, it does not pay.

THE BOON OF HEALTH.

HOW YOU MAY REGAIN IT, IF

LOST, AND KEEP IT.

There is no greater single source of happiness than that which co nos from the possession of good health. An invalid though he posses £100,000 cannot be really happy. Therefore, every man and woman should seek the boon of sonnd health Now what is health! It is the orderly working of all the bodily functions. The nourishment and strength of your body and brain depend on the proper digestion of your food.
