Very often the vital resources are small at forty-two, but if not then, be- tween fifty-seven and sixty-two years of age there is a strange slowing down and loss of vitality. It is important that this transient period of decay should be checked ; strength roust be imparted to the tired brain, the weak- ened nerves roust be fortified. The wise man will use Ferrozone whose potency is particularly applicable to these critical periods. Ferrozone quickens the whole being, imparts vigor and power, pushes back the on- set of eenility in a very manifest way. It's because Ferrozone gives strength, vitality and vigor that it is useful to old )nen. Try it. Price 50c. St. Helens. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Taylor of Guelph are visiting the latter's father, Win.
