foreigner may sneer at the enthusiasm of our Volunteer Forces, and imagine that in actual warfare they would be of
LITTLE
use, but there is no doubt that, in our recent difficulties, and they have been many, the fact that the BRITISH ARMY
is so well prepared for any contingency, has made our very doubtful friends and would-be enemies pause before insulting or annoying us too far: but it
GOES
without saying that, to remain strong, we must keep healthy. A person suffering from Indigestion, Bilions- ness, and general ill-health, often declares that life is
burden, and he imagines nothing will set him right." Let him, however, purchase a box of BEECHAM'S PILLS and try them, and he will soon have cause to wonder why he suffered so
LONG
and unnecessarily when such a complete remedy exists, as it were, almost at his door. In this
he will realise beyond all doubt the truth of that old saying that Beecham's-Pills are Worth a Guinea a Box.”
