OYSTERS AND ANAEMIA

WONDERFUL SCIENTIFIO DISCOVERY. A pound of oysters, it has been calculated, will provide all the iron necessary in a man's daily diet and a 36 per cent. surplus for good measure. It will furnish 50 to 60 per cent. of the needed phosphorus, 35 per cent. of the calcium, and an appreciable aniount of strontium, also valuable in bone-building. It will give two hundred times as much iodine as an equal quantity of steak eggs or milk. According to Dr. Paul Bartsch, of the Smithsonian Institute, the most recent research worlc shows that for the building up of red blood corpuscles and consequently in the overcoming of anaemia, the osyster contains more mineral salts in a i'orm that can bo absorbed by the tissues of the human body than any other food product in Nature. In all cases, Dr. Wipple and Dr. Wolfe, two eminent rcsearchers, i'ound oysters superior to livcr in the prevontion and corroction of anaemia. They found 15.1 grams of haemoglobin in a liver diet, and 21.9 grams in an osyster diet. _ , All the coneentrated richness of the oyster is contained in Thyrodone, whicli is having sensational saies tliroughoul tho Dominion, bringing health and happinpss to many whose lives were previously a misery. Thyrodone ereates rich blood, feeds the body with those mineral s it requires but has been lacking, and pnts firm flesli 011 emaciatcd frames. Cliemists everywhere sell Thyrodone at 4/6, but if you are unable to obtain, write to Thyrodone Development, I.td., P.O. Box 258, Invercargill.*

Their gifts from the bridegroom were gold bangles and to the bridesmaids he gave crystal necklaces. . Mr Jack Radinick was the best man aitd Mr Chris. Nodamy acted as groomsman. The guests were afterwards entertained at the Kpsy tea-rooms, and were received by the bride' s mother who wore' a navy ensemble with a white posy at the neck, navy hat with touches of white and carried a bouquet of autumn tinted flowers.
