The amount of the reserve and depreciation funds of the railway companies in Great Britain, as shown in the published balance-sheets, was in round figures, £121,000,000 at December 3.1, 1923, and £21,000,000 at the same date in 1913. THE TROUBLES OF OLD AGE. With old age the digestive organs weaken, and for that reason many elderly people develop habitual constipation. Many aggravate the trouble by taking harsh cathartic remedies. Such medicines have a weakening effect, and in the end the bowels refuse to act without assistance, a drastic dose being necessary to have the required effect. Chamberlain’s Tablets arc an ideal preparation for elderly ppeople. Their gentle laxative properties have a strengthening effect, and act as a tonic on stomach, liver and bowels. Chamberlain’s Tablets act naturally, without shock to the system, and their use is never followed by constipation. Sold by all chemists and storekeepers.
