Swan the lifetime pen.

"

** Swan Pens are famous throughout the world for their reliability and lasting wear and the 14ct gold ribs are the finest it is possible to produce.

The fact that "Swan" Pens have held undisputed sway over other makes for more than thirty years is solely due to the excellence of the pens themselves.

OUR FRIGHTFUL PAST.

་ ་

It is the nature of the human mind to oscillate between thinking of the past as thegood old times and the dark The people of New York have decided that they must be glad they live Now, This is not. any easier in New York than elsewhere. A vigorous pro- paganda is found necessary. A 'museum has been established to show the modern New Yorker his frightful past. Or, per- haps, as Amarionu humorists assure that such a creature as a born New Yorker is not to be found in that city. we should rather say: to show modzen New York bow frightful it was it the past. What used to be the home of a wealthy family in a distetet which oneel was fashionable has been turned into a museum. There are displayed the night- shirt which men wore betre pyjanaS were discovered, and a sota of horsehair and fruits of Wax in a glass crise, n

is already used by a large number of people in China, Straits Settlements, India, Ceylon and Burmah. But it is only recently that production has made it possible to spare a fair quantity for export, hence this message.

INTRODUCED my antiseptic, "Yadil,' to the British Medical Profession on the 16th November, 1916-more than seven years ago, Today it is recognised as the ideal antiseptic sought for by Lord Lister. Yadil' is entirely of harmless vegetable origin, its active principle being natural essential oil of garlic, It contains no animal or mineral matter whatever. It is abso lutely safe to swallow at all ages, from birth to old age, and to apply to sores and wounds, which it heals promptly.

7ITH 'Yadi' it is possible, for the first time in the history of man, to disinfect entire human system without risk to the most delicate internal organs. It clears the" body of all morbid matter, bacterial infection, or other causes of discase. Once the cause of disease is removed, normal health is promptly restored.

T

HIS explains the extraordinary success of Yadil in influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis, consumption, scarlet, dengue, blackwater and typhoid fevers, typhus, plague, cholera, dysentery, even psilosis or sprue. The results in malaria would be almost incredible, were it not for the. repeated reports received from sufferers in China, From India, South Africa, and elsewhere.

these reports it would appear that one or two doses are generally sufficient to check an attack at the onset. Liquid Yadilhas been used in all these cases except one. In that one, the süfférer reports similar success from the use of "the Pills..

THEN Yadil is applied to wounds..

sores, cuts, bites, and stings, the results. are prompt; blood-poisoning can never follow, and healing is clean, without scabs.

F

OR seven years I have received valuable- information from medical men as to how they have used my antiseptic in the treatment of various disorders. In this way I have been able. to write THE YADIL BOOK, 288 pages, cloth bound, in which I give correct treatments in some- 200 disorders. More than that, I explain the causes of disease and how to avoid it. Over 500€ reports from medical men and others prove the: value of the treatments given. THE YADIL BOOK will be sent to any address on receipt of 2/6, or you may order a copy from your chemist.

RDER at once a supply of Yadil and a copy of THE YADIL BOOK from your chemist. If he does not already carry stocks, he can soon obtain supplies through his. London buyers.

improved.
