It Is built on the site of that erected by Dick Whittington, and In which he was burled, but the original was so entirely wiped out in the great fire that no trace of Sir Richard Whittingtons grave now remains. The renovation scheme Included the painting of the walls and ceiling, and the moving of the heavy altar railing forward to form a choir screen. The representations of Moses and Aaron found In all Wrens churches are In this case exquisite statues which formerly stood on pedestals beside the altar. They have now been accommodated in niches In the walls some few feet above their original location. Your own physician will confirm this doctor s statements. The real cause of bad breath You cannot cover up unpleasant breath for any length of time. The only way to rid yourself permanently of it is by removing the cause. Sometimes poor teeth are responsible. But the commonest cause of a coated tongue and offensive breath is constipation. You may not realize that your intestines are slow in eliminating waste matter, or that your breath is objectionable. But others will notice it. Get rid of constipation, and your breath will become fresh and sweet. Even more important, you will notice an immediate improvement in your health and spirits. Nujol relieves constipation in Natures own way Constipation is dangerous for anybody. Nujol is safe for everybody. It does not affect the stomach and is not absorbed by the body. Medical authorities approve Nujol because it is so safe, so gentle, and so natural in its action. Nujol simply makes up for a deficiency temporary or chronic in the supply of natural lubricant in the intestines. It softens the waste matter and thus permits thorough and regular elimination without overtaxing the intestinal muscles. Nujol can be taken for any length of time without ill effects. To insure internal cleanliness, it should be taken regularly in accordance with the directions on each botde. Unlike laxatives, it does not form a habit and can be discontinued at any time. Ask your druggist for Nujol today. Remove the cause of bad breath and begin to enjoy the perfect health that is possible only when elimination is normal and regular. Nujol THE INTERNAL LUBRICANT For Constipation Poetry Restored Let poetry once more be restored to her ancient truth and purity; let her be Inspired from heaven, and, In return, her incense ascend thither; let tier exchange her low, venal, trifling subjects for such as are fair, useful, and magnificent ; aud let her execute these bo as at once to please, Instruct, surprise and astonish; and then, of necessity, the most Inveterate lgnor ance and prejudice shall be atrucs dumb, and poets yet become tne light and wonder of mankind.--Juo- w Thomson.
