Eyebrows are very importantly revealing; that being so, the fashion among women of having their eye- brows plucked and "penciled" may well be a very unwise one, for it can so casily suggest quite false-and possibly most unflattering-qualities of character to the trained physio- gnomist.

GNAWING PAINS BETWEEN MEALS

Of all the painful forms which stomach trouble takes, is there anything that in more depressing than the gnawing pain that makes its appeamace like clockwork between meals P

Mr. A. B. was a victim to these pains, and was beginning to despair of over being without them until one happy day ... | But read his letter

"For the past 10 years I have suffered from terrible guawing' pains in my stomach.

"These pains always occur between meal-times. I tried scores of different medicines without result until I tried taking Maclean Brand Stomach Powder. From the first dose: I felt a 'now-man." Every time these pains come I take a dose of Macleans and in a minute or two they have vanished. I am never without a bottle of your stomach powdar in the house. Thank you for the great benefit I have received."

Alacican Brand Stomach Powder not only puts your stomach right—it takes a great load off your mind as well. "If you are a sufferer go straight to your chemist and get a bottle of the genuine Maclean Brand Stomach Powder-the one with the signature "ALEX. C. MACLEAN on battle and cartoa. You won't suffer again after taking that. Never sold loose-- only in bottles in cartons (powder or tablets).

If you have any difficulty in obtaining it from your local chemist or store, write to Banker & Co., P.O. Box 536, Hong Kong.
