He did not disclose his real rank and position until the modest equip age, whioh carried them to their home, stopped before a most stately mansion. The erstwhile country girl was bewildered, and despite the affection lavished on her by her lord, she gradually sank, and died a gracious lady, a trao adornment to her elevated station, having mastered every detail of card-leaving precedence, Lord Burteigh never recovered the Bhock, but then, that great healing balm, PLANTEKOA, was unknown in those days. Science was unaware of the elements that compose the most valuable recuperative agent of modern times. PLANTEKOA gives mw life, heals affliction of the body, and removes mind troubles. Mr C A Jolly, the successful auctioneer and land agent of Wellington, writes ;—• With pleasure I recommend PLANTEKOA as a sovereign cure for headache. For several years I have constantly had recourse to headache wafers, powders, eto, to geb relief. I took one bottle of PLANTEKOA (nearly two years ago), and I hay c not had a single attack since. You may mention my name to anyone suffering as I did. I sincerely recommend them to try * Plantekoa.'
