-"t'- A SUDDEN CHANGE IN TEMPERA- TURE.. Yesterday the temperature was 48 degrees. None arc more liable to catch chills than Outdoor workers. Out and about early and late, they are for ever running the risk of falling victims to the sudden changes of tem- perature peculiar to our climate. To guard against this there is no better preventative than a cup or two of Vi-Cocoa taken before starting work. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and Vt is better to ta-ke precautions against illness than to wait till it comes, and then try to ture it. Vi-Cocoa taken beforo turning out on a chilly, damp night, or a cold, foggy morning, will so fortify the system as to enable it to auceessfully withstand all the inclemencies of our erratic climate. +

THE MAN WHO FOUND IT. His name is :— Mr. R. A. Arnold, of 19, Shard-road, Peckham, S.E. He says Permit me to endorse the many opinions as to the good qualities contained in Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, and to assure you pf the fact that I have undoubtedly derived great benefill from its use. I find in it the lustaining power you assert it contains, and which I ha Yd so much need of. I can also vouch for its recuperative properties. My wife has also derived wonderful benefit from Its use. I believe Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa to be in important factor in the interests of the ftealth of working men." Times without number have children been fikened to flowers—and rightly. If a flowering plant does not blossom there's little beauty In it. If it is sick and faded and withered ifid lifeless, nobody cares for it. It falls short of its object in being. Mothers, there- fore, to in the growth of the flowering I plants around them should, as in the cases above referreed to, use Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. +

THE STRENGTH OF A CHILD. i child is father of the man"; it. is. ) therefore, necessary to build up the strength of the child to insure him a halo and hearty manhood, and in doing this you cannot begin too early. The preservation of infant life and the healthful rearing of children are of oational importance, and Vi-Cocoa is a food beverage of the greatest value in this connection. For hand-fed children not yet of an age to digest ordinary food, it cannot be surpassed, it is Bo nourishing and so easily assimilated.

27,533 DEATHS FROM DISEASES OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. In 1905 there died in England and Wales 13,.625 males and 13,911 females of diseases of the digestive system, making 27,536 persons j in all, of 'whom London alone was responsible This is a terrible toll to pay for neglecting one of the fundamental rules of hygiene, which j is the branch of medical science that relates to the preservation and improvement of health —^ We eat to live—not live to eat." Whole- some food is the great secret of long life, and every intelligent person is aware that unsuitable diet is the sole cause of all disorders of the digestive organs. This cannot be too universally known, for if you do not digest your food, you do not, nourish your body, therefore build up your body to its highest efficiency of energy, vitality, and strength by making Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa pour habitual beverage. You will find it a friend in need who will not desert you in the hour of dan er. 35,665 persons died of diseases of the nervous system during the same period. This is equal to about 1 in every 875 of the entire population of England and Wales. For impoverished blood and nerves out of order there is nothing better than a Food Beverage such a Vi-Cocoa. which has never yet been equalled for its recuperative powers. Drugs cannot cure troubles such as are here mentioned, and to soak the system with such rubbish is to i court disaster. Vi-Cocoa, which is in no sense a medicine, honestly docs what it pro- fesses to do. 4

LONDON PEOPLE AND THE FOOD THEY EAT. Do you know that a vast city like London consumes more food in a day than all other towns of England combined In short, London devours 9,500 tons of food every 24 hours, and of these fruit and vegetables are responsible tor 4,000 tons. Of course, food is the most I important factor in improving the human race, in producing finer, stronger and better Baen and women, and in extinguishing disease. By food should be understood that kind oi aliment which conduces to nutrition, growth and strength, which is capable of producing the most complete development and highest amount of power of the human being, t ow, Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa as a natural food that will accomplish all this. In a word, Dr. Tibbies Vi-Cocoaj which is in no sense a medicine, creates health, and in health we have the only trustworthy antagonist of disease. Ine art and the science of the physician are alike vain in hia combat with disease unless he can bring about health. Where drugs fall Vi-Cocoa succeeds, for it enriches the blood,, renews strength, creates energy, braces the nerves, relieves exhaustion, induces sleep, promotes appetite, and assists digestion m a quite, natural manner, and this means health. -1"

BEST FRIEND. As Sir Erasmus Wilson has laid it down. tnari s first and best friend is his stomach, and it is necessary to secure its co-operation an influence for the prevention of disease, is what Vi-Cocoa does for all who take it habitu- ally, as, in addition to its highly nourishing properties, it is so easily assimilated by both old and young of either sex. --+-
