THE CAPTAIN'S TROUBLE.

There is no need for formal introductions when you enter a ward of wounded soldiers. A writer in the "Daily Chronicle" says that "Where'd you get yours?" will do, if there is that in you which has more power than speech —the non-Prussian will-to-power with hearts which is sympathy and love. . "Got mine at Mons," a wild-eyed

giant says. "Down—flop. An' me cap'n hauls me out. Stripes me, he does, n' stares, 'n stares. " 'MacPherson,' sas he, solemn-like, 'd'ye know how to pray?' " 'No,' I says. "'Try,' says he, "cos it's had!' " 'Never was any hand at it/ I says. 'We-el,' he says, 'have a pull at my pipe—lot 6' praer in a pipe, Mac' N' he pulled, V I pulled all night long; never a word atween us. In the mornin' the bearers come an' hauled us both out o' the glue—pop! Might ha' bin bungs in the bar'l o' beer! "Then, an' only then, did I know he'd had a pill, too;— sight worse'n mine, wha's more. Yes, sir. And yes'dy cap'n come along the ward with a lady. " 'MacPherson,' he says, 'did ye pick up my pipe.'"

AN APPEAL TO COMMON-SENSE

Do you, stout reader, wish to get rid of your dreadful ' over-fatness ia so thorough, a manner that you will have no further anxiety on that score; that you will, in fact, be able, without following any kind,of fixed rales as to diet or anything elsfc, to preserve your easily recovered good figure and robust health until a ripe old age? If so—and we make this an urge at appeal to your common-sense —you will studiously avoid all dieting and drugging treatments for good and all, and take a short course of Antipon, iho standard treatment which . combines unmatched tonic and fat-reducing properties In an equal degree —the treatment that makes you eat well, digest well, ana sleep well, whilst rapidly removing every vestige of unnecded and unhealthy matter; the treatment, In a word, which stamps out radically the most stubborn tendency to clog up too entire organism with dangerous and disfiguring, excess fat. There is the whole marvellous Antipon treatment in a nutshell. Yet get healthier, fitter, brighter, stronger with each day's treatment, and when you hive completely recovered ncumal weight, nice shapely proportions, a trim supple figure, and rounded slenderness of limb, you may lay aside the Antipon treatment altogether, sure of immunity from a recurrence- of fatness. In slight cases of threatening corpulency, a single bottle, or two at most, may suffice. Antipon has an' admirable tonic effect, on the digestive system, and, with the help of wholesome food, entich.es and purines the blood, braces up the skin and no matter how much fat is taken from the chin, throat, cheeks, etc., prevents looseness and wrinkling, and improves the complexion.
