the Dominion government for a

A Help To Those
Past Middle Age
When men and women get past
middle age their energy and activity,
in many instances, begin to decline,
and their general vitality is on the

Little sicknesses and ailments seem
harder to shako off than formerly,
and, here and there, evidences of a
breakdown begin to appear.
Now is the time when those who
wish to maintain their health and
vigor, and retain their energy un
