A Boy's Ceptcity For Food

An Englieh ectiooimcLticer has jist oo»« peted an exhaustive reaearch into tht subject of a boy's capacity for food. This, according to the explorer, Js eaormons* The result of tho school master's study of the boy in his own district shows that after rich cake, the first article in favor it aondensod milk, This is noo taken with a spoon or in dilution as a beverage, Tht boy simply bores two holes In the top of the tin, and sacks It as he would an «gg. After condensed mi)k the various form of chocolate are most in demand. I hay* seen a boy aged 10 years, eat, !u a single afcernoon, enough food to satisfy an adult) party of twelve persons. I have myself known a little frail boy to eat a portion of a rich cake, a third of a potind of ion* densed milk, 4os of mixed chocolate, a handful of asserted sweets, two orangM, one app c, four gingerbread cakes, ado»n Brrzil nuts, and two large pieces of peppermint candy, Nor did this b f conscrictortah meal appear to have tmf evil effects. The boy displayed one or two symptoms of uneasiness which h« quickly dispelled by a few well drawn yawns, like those of a sleepy baby* He walked about for a wbiie, and presently accepted an invitation to join in a gam* of ball. The schoolmaster's observation! have led him to a very natural dednotion that a boy's condition is entirely different to that of a trained strong man. Th« latter could not eat the things that a boy could, because his fitness is mainly muscular, while the boy's is organic M well. The man may have a sluggish liver, and still be a strong man, but the boy who runs aod romps and tarns somerssaifii and langhs and shouts is physically without) a blemish. Bence he has the capacity of a tramp steamer.

It's a Manly Act.

AN ASHBURTOJS CITIZEN SPEAKS FOR THE BENEFIT OF HIB FELLOW CITIZENS.

A plain straight forward stafcemsnt, A grateful acknowledgement: of help, Tbtitig a personal experience, Making It public for Che public good, It's a manly act, Xc« a manly aefc because it helps Others* ho many people have been misled! ISo mauy claims made that were not tint, An Ash barton man speaks here, Speaks in the interest of humanity, Removes the stumbling block of doubt* No better proof can be had Mr 0 W Andrews, East Belt, Ashbarton, States:— 1 Some merits ago I was attacked by ft bad pain in the small of my back. It need me rather hardly for a time. I sop pose it mast have been cold in the kidneyi tor daring the past 12 months I have baen pubject to this sort of thing, and to protect) tha part I wore a flannel belt. I flaw Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were recommended for this sort of cop"p]»lnt daring my last attack) and I procured a box at the Ashbarton Drug Company in Eaet Street. This medicine relieved ins shortly after I began to use it, Anybody with such troubles should try thil medicine ; if they do they will not be disappointed.'

September 3, 1901 DEAR Sir, —Possibly the short account; contained in this letter, In reference to the use of PLAMTEKOA OINTMENT, may ba of Interest to yon. We had just removed from Blackbridge to tha Nai INai when my daughter Ethel had the misfortune to step on a broken tumbler, making a fearful gash, cutting into the ball of the foot and laying open the big toe in two halvop. We had It attended to, but it seemed to be getting worse, when, about five days after Iha accident, we wera advised to use PLAi\~ TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured that PLAJSTEKOA. would socn heal it. At thia time it was very bad, the foot; swollen and hard, and the wound had an angry fiery appearance, and locked as if blood poisoning was setting in. However, we faithfully applied Plantckoa Ointment, and without going into details, fieffije to say that in a short time the foot was healed, ahe was able to put her boota on and attend school again. I would also like to state that I used Plantekoa OinniK>nfc for my fion, who had a gathering or abscess in the ear. He waa home from work for some time with it and was m & tai stata. The discharge from the ear was of such a character that it would set up irritation on the side of the i face, and the pain was vrry severe. In this case P!antftkr>& Ointment was success fully applied, and in a few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yonrs sincerely, Mbs Jane Swan. This wonderful ointment oughb to be in every home, not only to be there in case of accident or emergency, bub for everyday purposes, its uses are legion, Ib is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemists at 2s per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet bhe demand for this ointment from farmers and others, tot' use with horses and cattle, ib has been placed on the market in half pound bins at 4s 6<L Unsurpassed for sore shoulders, girth galls, etc. Have you tried PLANTEKOA, the Great Herbal Remedy for the Blood Manning & Uo's NEW SEASON'S BOTTLED ALES AND STOUT, IN QUARTS AND PINTS, THS BEST IN THE MARKET Eqpial to the Leading Brands of ENGLISH ALES.

Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote; for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many yeats from ulcerated stomach, indigeption, etc, My life was a perfect . misery, and I ■was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying diffuren*} medical men and 1 remedies, of which I had trieri almost 1 every known ono bub yours, and oae day pome eighteen months ao;o a gentleman came Into bhe shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was). He added, * Will you take some medicine if I procure ib \ I repiied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I book ib accordingly as directed, and to ray delight I began ba get) well, and after baking three large bottleo I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. 1 always keep ib by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish yon the success with it 1 that such a medicine merits.
