foreigner may sneer at the enthusiasin 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 as too far; but it

GOES

without saying that, to remain strong, we must keep healthy. A person suffering from Indigestion, Bilious- 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. PILI.S 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

WAY

he will realise beyond all doubt the truth of that old saying that Beecham's Pills are Worth a Guinea a Box.
