LONDON, Nov. 30 (Reuter).-Mr. Chamberlain to-day made a statement in the House of Commons on the developments in Finland.

The statement was made at the request of Mr. Clement, Attlee, leader of the Opposition.

Build up your strength - take Hall's Wine today

When you are tired and run-down it is a sign that through either overwork or illness your blood and nerve cells have become weak and unfit. There is one tonic that is specially prepared from the formula of a Doctor to strengthen your weakened blood and nerve cells, and that tonic is Hall's Wine. It starts to pour new strength into your veins within thirty seconds after taking--but its effect also is permanent; your blood and nerve cells are lastingly enriched and strengthened. Doctors and nurses everywhere prescribe Hall's Wine for their patients to overcome tiredness and depression, and also to build up strength after illness.
