During that time I tried various remedies, but obtained no relief, and was seriously consider­ ing going into hospital. However, seeing a case similar to mine describ­ ed in an advertisement for Kruschen, I thought I would try it, and was more than surprised to find the pain getting less. I have been taking Kru­ schen for Jour months, and would not be without it for anything. I must say I am free from those dreadful pains,”’—(Mrs.) B.C.

Girl Loses Tip of Toe Hazel, the 7-year-old’ daughter of Harold Henderson, who is in charge Both Sides of the Question The considerable public interest now existing with regard to the problems of temperance, prompts the Brewing Industry to state its side of the question. Providing as it does a living for thousands, this Industry claims con­ fidently in Ontario the same respect that it is accorded throughout the British Empire; for its sense of public responsibility is the same! Consider the facts. Moderation and true temperance are causes which the Brewing Industry in its own interest must support. For moderation means respect-for law and order. It means a decrease in secret drinking—a reduction of drunkenness. It means a chance for the ordinary decent citizen to exercise self-control. In fact at every point it means the very opposite of excess—the very opposite of prohibition. For prohibition whether general or limited, does not mean temperance. Surely that fact, at least, has been abundantly proved. Rather it ifleans the return of the bootlegger. It means the growth of rackets. It means making illegal drinking the "smart” thing to do, with the result that drunkenness becomes a distinction instead of a disgrace. No thinking person can possibly want the return of these evils—yet that is what propaganda against our Industry seeks to achieve! > This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing Industry in the interest of a better public understand­ ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance and local option.
