J rows of stretchers lined up outside, the steady tramp of the bearers as they carry the patients to and from the wards, the care and attention given by the sisters, medical offi- cery and orderlies to every man-- they would then realize that behind the bare recital of statistics lies a world of its own, where medical science battles day and night to mend the broken bodies of the men who have given their lives for Eng- land. Side by side, in the long ward they lie, the patient British Tommy, the lean, long Australian, the merry Canadian--all good friends, all indulging im wordy discussions as to how they would have arrang- ed the last "push," all eager to get over to 'Blighty, and one and all with a pleasant smile as you pass down the ward. It is amusing to hear the disputes between the Tom- mies and the Canadians as to the merits of their respective countries, but what is even funnier, are the heated arguments between perhaps a long, lanky Black Wateh High- lander, brought up as a orthodox Presbyterian, and a little Tommy from the Midlands, who has had the tefiets of the Prayer Book drill- ed into him by the village curate: "A dinna hold wi' you Episcopal- fans," remarked a lantern-jawed Scot one day. "How's that, Jock?" enquired the C. of E. adherent with interest. "Because ther's too much kneel- in"; a body in a kilt has his knees to conseeder," answered Jock with some asperity. They are very particular, too, about their rank. "Good morning, Jones" --this a very small person, swathed in bandages. "My, but you're such a little chap."

The stom- ach becomes 'upset and you have a raw, debilitated feeling in it. After a meal you feel that you must get rid of that nasty, bilious, burning sensation; that souring and rising of the food which is so unpleas- ant and in many cases very painful. It is not necessary for you to be troubled with indigestion when Bur- dock Blood Bitters may be so easily obtained. This old and well-known remedy, which is a combination of nature's best roots, herbs, barks and berries, will cure indigestion and all stomach troubles. Mr. Lazare Savoy, Pokemouche, N.B., writes: "About two years ago I was troubled with indigestion that bad I could keep nothing on my stom- ach. 1 was sorely disappointed in everything I tried to relieve me. At last a friend advised me to try Bur- dock Blood Bitters.
