"MAN IS AS OLD AS HIS STOMACH."

THIS FEESI4JN EPIGRAM IS THE | KEAi GAUGE OF A MAN'S LIFE. The Persians were a very sagacious people, noted,.among other'things, for their deep thinking on life and the things which make up life. The above epigram shows the wisdom of their thought, When a man's stomach is able to furnish new material to the system as fast or fastor than the natural decay of man requires, then such a man lives his fullest and his best. When through wrong living or disease a man's stomach begins to tax the other organs, and. takes from the bloodstrength which it cannot givo back in nourishment taken from food, then begins the death of man, and ho decays fast. The stomach is strong, splendidly strong, and ran stand- an untold amount of abuse and ne"lcct, but when it dies, man dies. The stomach gives tons upon tons of good rich, blood every year to the system, and draws only Gfc'Olu. of nourishment for its own use. If, however, the food which it receives cannot be turned into blood, i which, is capable of use by the body, then tho stomach receives no help from the other organs. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tubules contain tho most perfect digestive qualities known to science, and at the same time the most powerful. They will mix with the poi-, sonous juices of a sick stomach, and di-' gest food in spite of this handicap. Thoy will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of tho whole digestive, canal, including those of the stomach. A single ingredient contains strength enough to digest 3000 times its weight in mixed food. ' They have stood tho test of time, and ' to-day aro more sought after than all their imitators combined. Dr. Sheldon's Digestive Tabulcs are obtainable everywhere at 2s. Cd. per tin of 80 'l'abules. 12 . "Excel" electric irons is the subject of a special advertisement in this issue by j Messrs. Thos. Ballinger and Co., Victoria : Street. I Messrs. Chas.
