HAVE YOU BOUGHT IT YET?

Is a question which appeals to almost every phase of life. . The child who is promised a gift often asks the parent: Have you bought it yet? and j>ou can notice the intense look of disappointment upon its face when you reply that you have . not. . Then tho young lady, when her young admirer has been brave enough to ask the' long-waited-for question, and she has replied favourably, naturally asks him: Havo you bought it yet? meaning, of course, , has he the right size of ring,-and if ho has not done so, then she too is disappointed. Then conies the marriage day, when, in duo course, the lucky, or unlucky, pair, stand before the officiating minister. Everything is getting on famously until the time comes to produce the ring. The bridegroom fumbles in his pocket. Ho cannot find it. Lost surely. Then in hard, cold words comes the inquiry from his annoyed intended inothcr-in-law: Have you bought it yet? And io on through life various incidents happen; and the inquiry, is often made: Havo you bought it yet? It so happens that it is part of. human nature to keep on putting off things, and that is the reason the inquiry is so often made. Now, delay in all things is dangerous, and that is the reason why you should buy Red Cross Ointment today, and not leave procuring it till tomorrow. An accident might happen tonight, when the shops aro closed. If you havo it handy in the houso it will be tho means of Baving immense sufforing. Many a person lias had causo to nrniso tho healing properties of tho Mighty Healer, as Red Cross Ointment has been aptly called. Get a pot to-day. As your grocer and chemist stocks Red Cross all, the time, and tho prico is only ono shilling and sixpence, there is no reason why "the question should bo asked you again: k Haw you bought it yet?. •
