When Mrs. Sunderland husband about it he drew a cheque for the amount and the matter was disposed of

Mrs. Sunderland, feeling aggrieved, got in touch with the bank manager. Occasionally she had made bets, sometimes winning and sometimes losing. Dr. Sunderland knew that but did not know that the account was being used in a substantial way for payments to two bookmakers.

FOR THE NURSING MOTHER

Both before and after the birth of her children, a mother needs plenty of simple, easily digested nourish- ment to meet the extra demands made upon her system.

Doctors und nurses know that Horlicks is an ideal food for both expectant and nursing mothers. Not only is it extremely palatable and easy to take, but it promotes sound sleep and prevents morning sickness.

Horlicks, moreover, provides the extra nourishment nursing mothers need. It is invaluable where the digestive powers are weak, and tends te prevent constipation,

In these difficult times of anxiety and worry, the task of carrying on und doing work which must be done Is a doubly difficult one which must tend to exhaust one's nervous energy. Horlicks builds up strength, vitality and prevents that listlessness and Uredness caused by constant nervous strain. II. M. Hodges, 400-400, Asla Life Buliding, Hongkong.
