She never enjoyed good health alter she reached her " lovneciith year.” Dr Chamberlin based these statements on written opinions of eminent, medical experts, including ibe late Sir Wm. Osier, Professors Allbntt. Keiih and Doran. He had submitted to them a. of the records of iho illnesses of Elizabeth (or her entire life, and they bad unanimously agreed that she was never physically' strong after the age of fourteen. For a whole decade before she came to the ’Tin one slip Iv af! a.fflieied by continuous attacks ol some disease from whHi she seemed never to have recovered. She was afflicted with frequent nervous attacks, or fits, with habitual melancholia, and periodica! attacks of unconsciousness which lasted tor many hours. Sim was always very th:n, except when attacked by the dropsy, from which she was sometimes so swollen as to be unrecognisable. She, bad neither the instincts of a sweetheart nor a mother, which would be impossible in such a. frame as lb?rs. Her condition was really sexless. “ S!m fnytd with young men. lint one cannot conceive morn than Unit," said the lecturer. "Her condition freed her from the bonds which bind most women, but in exchange she had to bear other bonds, the misery of disturbed health and ill-being. If a, study of Elizabeth’s health and illnesses can throw a light on her character. and through her on the history of her period, it will be found in tbo disordered condition of her sexless system. "It is this frail, amende, weak, sexless woman, with no capacity for feeling natural sex desires, with no yearning for motherhood, we shall continue to study next week, directing our inquiry strictly to a. critical examination of all the extant enntemnorary evidence of her see: morally. She rendered 'bis Empire such services as to entitle her to a, retrial, when her side may ’m heard. Her nmnnvy. he'- fame, her nride, her right, and her hrlrdcs.-.iwss against iuivcndoca of the jealous, the disappointed, t'm idle, and the rossln, demand an unbiassed test of Ml the ovidence which is imw available for the first time. Elizabeth could and would demand nothing more.” AA'CAIEN ARE LEARNING. "No. thank yon, .1 want HEENZO (Hean’is Essence), and nothing else. 1 have already tried Heenzu, and if it. cost double the price. I. would willingly pay that price.” Tbo proprietor of HEENZO (Hean e Essence) had just stepped into a, shop where patent medicines arc sold, when a- lady customer was using the words above related. He was unknown to either shopman or customer. Apparently the Indy had formerly tried HEENZO (fleams Essence) for making her own good family cough and cold remedy, had proved it good, and desired to purchase another bottle. The man behind the. counter wanted to sell her something else—probably he would mako a little more profit for himself—hut his "just as good” substitute didn't appeal. (’crlainly the ladv was clearly within her rights. She had asked plainly for HEENZO (Mean’s Essence), and because sho had formerly proven its quality and money-saving value, insisted upon getting that which she wanted HEENZO. Sho left the shop with HEENZO and satisfaction in her hand —she was a wise woman. If you have not yet tried HEENZO (Hcan’s Essence), got a bottle from vour chemist or grocer to-day. One bottle makes from 7 to 8 ordinary eightcenponny bottles of the finest family cough, cold and sore throat remedy it is possible for money to buy, and saves you 10s. HEENZO (Mean's Essence) is '2s 6d a bottle everywhere, or nest free promptly on receipt of price from Hcan’s Pharmacy, Wanganui.
