" The truth,' said one writer, "is that people can now enjoy themselves with confidor.ee; they can betake themselves to amusement and recreation without the damping influence of threatened bankruptcy and ruin. People could not patronise sport when they were depressed with, anxiety for the future. They could not be expected to enter fully into thi> spirit of racing when they felt themselves incapable of enjoying it." Acts like a charm! That's what thousands Bay of, NAZOlt—the handiest and surest remedy for coughs and colds. 60 doses Is 6d. Refuse substitutes.
