Should Women dread the approach of a perfectly "natural event?

TATURE never intended you to suffer

Nandur. Why is it then that so many

thousands of womea experience, such pain and weakness.

Simply Ulamutes Crete is a shortage of vital minerals in the body"

That is the reply, supported by the best medical opinion. Calcium is the vital food ol every body cell, and any shortage hinders the correct performance of all bodily functions, particularly those of women.

The use of Kalziua, the minoral food, for a few weeks pregues the whole system with the indispensable m perals needed to establish that care-free, vigo/eus health that Nature intended you to enjoy.

But it must be Kalzania, as only in this scientific form (a combination of sodium- lactate and calcium-lactate) will the mineral salts be taken up and retained by your body." Lose your dread--re-establish the functions on a normal basis by starting a course of Kalzane to-day.

The heavy block of iron struck! the stone wall back of the bench and carromed off on the arm of one of the soldiers who's sword thrust would have wounded Ben- renuto. As it was, the soldier's thrust went wild and a slash from Benvenuto's sword seemed to half sever the soldier's hand, so that he was helpless.

"Come on, variets." Benvenuto cried at last, have yourselves spitted speedly, that I may cut off the ears of this, dog, Ottavanio!"

At this, Ottavanto danced in and out, making sure to keep away from Benvenuto's sword reach and to prick him when he was turned sideways to face the others.

Amid the turmoil none of them beard the fan-fare or trumpets outside. The Duchess of Florence had arrived in full state. to see matter of the
