"For several years I suffered with severe

crazy. I had no appetite, could scarcely'
eat anything without stomach distress

Indigestion, biliousness, headaches, ner-
Vousness, pains in the back and limbs : are
largely caused by allowing poisons to
accumulate in the body. "Fruit-a-tives""
is nature's remedy, made from intensifiecl
fresh fruit juices combined with tonics.
"Fruit-a-tives"' stimulates the bowels,
liver and kidneys to normal action and
brings about a condition of delightful

"Now d'you get it?" smiled Digby,
leaning back against the bottom of the

"Good God, man," I cried, starting
up. "You don't mean to tell me you
suspect Claudia of jewel -stealing?".
"Keep calm," he „replied. "I a.in

am asking you who remains if you
eliminate me and yourself as admitted-

"Michael and Claudia!" I murmur-

tilous?" I said aloud.
Now—Did you,
"Equally impossible," answered Dig

was one of those .two if it ,wasn't

that Michael has bolted for one or two
