AVERAGE MAN BETTER OFF TO-DAY .THAN 100 YEARS AGO.

Tho. advance of civilisation has unI doubtedly improved the condition of mankind. People generally are better clothed, better fed, better housed today than ever their forefathers were. » Medually, the attention they get is vastly superior also. The age of bloodletting is gone ; anaesthetics and Ront-gen-rays, etc., combine to make surgery less painful and more effective. Time was when the healing- virtues of the earth's natural mineral springs could be .participated in only by those living in the vicinity, or the few who could afford to travel to them Today, tho waters of these, mineral spring's (with all their healing qualities unimpaired) are 'bottled and d'stributed, and may be partaken of by purchasers who need not leave home. Here in New Zealand today the famous Wai-Rongoa Natural M l neral 1 Water is distributed' .throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion, and thousands are experiencing the benefit of this, the best of all the Dominion's mineral waters. The advantage of drinking WaiRongoa regularly cannot be over-esti-mated. It contains properties which make it both tonic and. aperient. Charged as it is with its own natural gas, its effect is to exhilarate and invigorate the system, ""to promote digestion, to check acidity -of the stomach, arid to cure rheumatism, gout, etc. The best advice we can give to anyone is to drink it daily.
