Now, . auy constitnency doubted that their mem- ber had any brains, "they could get his head photographed m order to see, and I would strongly advise all constituencies to have the brain of the candidates photographed before making a choice." This was a most thoughtful suggestion of the Premier. But what is the value of brains without digestion ? He should have gone further and recommended the applica- tion of the X Rays to the digestive organs of the whole of Her Majesty'B subjects, when it> would have been found that those whe wore m the habit of drinking ordinary teas b would find the coating of the Btomach con- -3 verted into a sort of partially tanned leather. This causes indigestion, shortens life, and spoils the most angelic temper. 5 Suratura Tea being as pure as the lily un- defiled, is not only harmless, but an invigor- f ating digestive tonic, and is recommended by q ALL who have used it.
