Nine Steps"

When the famous scots author, John Buchan (equally celebrated in public life as Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-General of Canada), first embarked on what was, for him, anew line of fiction in "The Thirty-Nine Steps," he said he did so because he had "long cherished an affection for that elementary type of tale which Americans call the "dime ñovel" and which we know as the "shocker"— the romance where the incidents defy the probabilities, and march just inside the borders of the possible."

The story in which Buchan first Drink Urisal in the Summer Urisal refreshes you by clearing your Kidneys. Put Urisal in every glass of water you drink. Ask for Dr. Deschamp's urisal in the metal box. At all chemists.
