BRAIN-FAG is an expression used to convey the idea of that condition of the brain where it is tired, worn-out or broken down from various causes, si oh na worry, ankiety, over-work and excessos of various kinds. In cases of this- kind, so common in this enervating climate, the first impulse is to resort to stimulants, which may give temporary relief, but wherever there is stimulation there is bound to be a reaction, which leaves the sufferers in a far worse condition than they were before. To this fact may be ascribed more than one half of the break downs which are so frequently brought to our notice in the Far East. A cup of

bridges over the difficulty, and stimulates, strengthens, and sustains without any deleterious after effects.

BOVRIL IS

[s

SPARKLING MINERAL TABLE WATER. (Manufactured from TREBLE DISTILLED WATER.)

Is the most suitable for mixing with Wines and Spirits; neither discolours them nor changes their flavour, as is so often the case with those Mineral Table Waters which con- tain iron and other salts.
