You are tired of advice, What a weary thing it is to be ill, especially cit of trying this, that, and the other, tired of fancying your are a trifle better, tired of taking precautions against getting worse, You are tired'of pain, and half be-Tieve the sooner yon are under the ground the better for you, and the more agreeable to A und story.

"I, Mary Jones, of 3, Galton Street, Great Howard Street, Liver Il, declare as follow "T have suffered all my life from weakness of the stomach and sluggish liver. I was always tired and languid, and often troubled with' billions headache, My appetite was pons, Lnever had desire for food, aad what did eat did not digest properly, I had always a bad taste in my mouth, and a slim: scum would cover my mouth and teeth, and so bad was this that I was obliged to rinse it we way before eating, "When T was in my teens I was very weakly and would faint after sitting down to my meals. T had trembling at the heart, with a heavy weight at the chest, pain at my side, anda strange giddy feeling would come over ie, When out walking in the street I used to have to stand and rest for fear of falling. I was also so weak that when going about my work I often had to ait down'and rest, Attimes I had
