Varicose Veins.—An entirely new production has been introduced for the support of varicose veins, in the form of a new silk elastic stocking. They are made in a flesh colour, of a new weave, which enables the 'appliance to go unnoticed under modem silk hosiery. Being more closely woven, they are much stronger, although not as thick as the old kind. These are specially recommended as the most suitable elastic stocking, and you will be with the comfort and support they give. Although much superior to the old variety, they cost no more, as we imported them direct from the factory in England. Call and inspect. All sizes In stock. Also full stocks of elastic knee caps and anklets. E. C. Ayres, chemist, Timaru
