TEL 1741,

A Famous Doctor says: "After long experience of Hall's Wine I still continue to prescribe it, and have never failed to obtain benefit in all cases." Hall's Wine is a scientific preparation-the prescription of a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, England, and it has been steadily growing in popular favour for over a quarter of a century-the period it has been before the public. Each day brings new evidence-every post adds to the countless letters on our files in praise of Hall's Wine..

Doctors recommend Hall's Wine for building up the system against Climatic Dangers, Exhaustion, Nerve Trouble, ad. the ill-effects of Overwork.

THE PASSING OF THE VISITING CARD.

AND ITS HISTORY,

Printers and stationers are bemoaning the passing of the visiting card, which, in all its ramifications, used to earn them small fortunes, writes Mr. Bassett Digby in the Manchester Guardian To what heights of foolish affectation the visiting card and its ritual arose in the nineties, and evon later,

If the greatest privilege of motherhood is to be yours j if you would know the joy of having Baby dependent on you alone for health and strength, make sure now that you will be able to nurse him yourself. Very many mothers who could not otherwise nurse their babies have been enabled to do so by taking Glaxo theca- selves every day.
