A City Constable

Nervous Depression,

Lassitude, Rheumatism

From all lands, deputations come to study the melted which has made the London Constable superior to all others. The method by which I make myself equal to my work," says Constable Lawrence, consists of taking Phosterine at intervals, as in this way I keep myself aiert mentally and physically." Since taking Posterine, Constable Lawrence can remain on point" duty in all weathers, controlling the amazing `volume of" City traffic, without experiencing the terrible nerve strain and weariness which formerly distressed hun. Even amongst men who excel, Constable Lawrence is known as an exceedingly, capable officer, equal to any emergency, and he declares that Phosferine alone enables him to maintain himself in this fine-condition.

Quite removed.

Constable Lawrence, 398, High Road, Tottenham, writes: Possibly there is not an occupation more nerve trying than that of a "point-duty" policeman, especially when the roads are slippery and the drivers have a difficulty in bolding up their horses. Add to this, the skidding af motor onibus and the dodging of taxi-cabs, &c., it will be seen that my duty is not a pleasant one I am sure that no one would care to change places with us for more than a few minutes, for it would at once be felt that the dangers are too numerous to cope with. Policemen look big. strong men, but are just as likely to get run down in health as other men, and this is what happened to me sometime ago, when I suffered from headaches, nerve-depression, lassitude and rheumatic pains. After trying niany remedies, I was recommended Phosferine, and can say that it is a wonderful tender of health, and seems to put fresh life into one from. the first dose. I am now quite myself again, and very thankful that. Piu sferine was brought to my notice."-March 5, 1910.

TIDES FOR CRRAF ELECTRICITY.

Lucking water-power for developing cheap electrical energy, engineers in England are beginning to turn their attention to the tides In a paper read the other day to the Ipswich Engineering Socioty. W. O. Hornsnial pointed ont that to make tilal power profitable now there must be available a natural pond, which should be free from use for Barigation, must require only short dam to close it to the sea, and should have 2 minimum - tidal range of at least. ten foot. Snok .con ditions may be found along the Freex coot and similar low-lying shores with moderate tidos. Some use of tide power has been rande for hundreds of years, corn baving bees ground by it in the eleventh century, but the early method was the turning of a wheel by the current flowing back and forth in a natural channel. For this inofficiant rian the aforogo of water during the rise of the tide and its an na a considerable fall only during the outward How has been substituted. A tide mill at Wood- bridge, still regularly grinding corrs, has a shallow pond of 10,000 square feet, with

BAD LIVERS.

Not only is the Liver the largest but one of the most important organs in the human body, and when deranged it becomes the source of endless suffering. When the Liver is clogged by the inactivity of the kidneys and bowels, it becomes torpid, and fails to filter the bile from the blood, thus producing biliousness and a general impairment of the digestive system. The tongue is coated, the head aches, digestion is imperfect: there is aching of the limbs and back, feelings of fülness, weight and soreness over the stomach and liver; the eye becomes yellow and jaundiced and the complexion muddy, the urine is scanty and highly coloured, and the bowels irregular, constipation and looseness alternating. There is little use treating the liver separately, as it can never be set right until the kidneys and bowels are made. active in removing the waste from the body. It is for this very reason that Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have always proved so wonderfully successful in curing the most chronic Liver complaint, bilicusness and complicated ailments of the kidneys, liver, and bowels. They reach the liver as no other remedy does.

UNALTERED STERILIZED MILK,

A solution of the problem of sterilizing wilk without altering its ferments is claimed by B Russian chemist. When the sterilization is brought about by boiling water temperature, the. milk-in-rendered-inert-by: the decomposition of ils albuminoid bodies and their salt, and feeding infants with evoh milk is regarded as the esus" of many deaths. Heating eren to 62deg. C., if continued several minutes, destroys the far- ments and antifoxins It is found, however, that heating to 72 dey, to 80 deg. C. will give complete sterilization in a few seconds, and that in this short time the milk itself is not altered, „To effect this boating, the milk is broken up into fine globules by forcing it into a sterilized vessel by a spray-of-steam-or compressed-air.-It- is at onea condensed, and is allowed to drop into a receiver, where it is coolods The gorm-des- troying action on the sprayed drops is rapid and energetic.
