he was not the size of an ordinary human being. That was an objection nobody could possibly get over, and one upon which-however long he might live-he could never satisfy his critics. The third monthly dinner of the London Chamber of Commerce for the session 1897-98 was held on Tuesday. The practical business of the evening consisted of a discussion and criticism of the Companies Bill as introduced in the last Session of Parliament. On the one hand it was urged that the Bill was too large and sweeping, and that instead of secking to remedy admitted defects it sought to cover too wide a field. It was pointed out that under the present law a large amount of what might otherwise have been idle capital had been employed and a great deal of enterprise promoted, whilst the amount of non-success and insolvency, as shown by the winding up of companies, had been exceedingly small. There was a danger that if the law as to public companies were made too stringent it might exercise a deterrent effect on the working of Acts which up to the present had been of enormous benefit to the country. It was suggested that there might be a codification of the Companies Acts and certain modifications introduced. One of the provisions of the Bill which met with a favourable reception was that seeking to prevent companies going to allotment on insufficient capital. On the other hand, it was argued that the Bill would provide a much-needed improvement in the law which regulated public companies, and would, by imposing upon directors a greater responsibility for their conduct, tend to check the flotation of worthless companies, and protect the interests of shareholders. A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the proceedings to a close. FOR THROAT IRRITATION AND COUGH.-" Epps's Glycerine Jujubes" always prove effective.

It is not a nourishing beverage, and as usually decocted is washy, trashy, and deleterious. Coffee, even when of the best, and prepared in perfection as you will find in the East, where Mahommedans are forbidden by their religion to use alcohol, is only a cardiac or heart stimulant. It increases for a short time the power of that organ without being in any sense of the word a nourishing beverage. Cocoa.--The ordinary cocoa is not by any means a & CO.'S SPECIALTIES FOR INVALIDS. ESSENCE OF BEEF, BEEF TEA, MEAT JUICE, &c., Prepared from finest ENGLISH MEATS BRAND & CO., LTD., MAYFAIR, W., & MAYFAIR nourishing beverage. Its good qualities either in the LONSDALE PRINTING WORKS, Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa is a nourishing beverage, containing four great restorers of vitality, Cocoa, Kola, Hops, and Malt. It stands out as a builder up of tissues, a promoter of vigour, and in short it has all the factors which make robust health. Being a deliciously flavoured beverage it pler es the most fastidious palate. Its active powers of diastase give tone to the stomach, and promote the flow of gastric juice, and however indigestible the food taken with it at any meal, it acts as a solvent and assimilative. All the leading medical journals recommend Dr. Tibbles' Vi-Cocoa, and Dr. G. H. Haslam writes:-"It gives me great pleasure in bearing testimony to the value of ViCocoa, a mixture of Malt, Hops, Kola, and Caracas Cocoa Extract. I consider it the very best preparation of the kind in the market, and, as a nourishing drink for children and adults, the finest that has ever been brought before the public. As a general beverage it excels all previous preparations. No house should be without it."
