He sald that the young soldier is the best to work with, “orn account av the surpassing innocinse av the child.” “Now, listen!” said Mulvaney, throw- tng himself full length on the wall in the sun. ,“Im a born scutt av the barrick-room! The Army's mate an’ dhrink to me, bekaze I'm wan av the few that' can't quit ut. -T've put in sivinteen years, an’ the pipe-clay’s in the marrow av me. Av I cud have kept out av wan beg dhrink a month, I wud have been a Hon'ry Liftnint by this time—a nuisance fo my betthers, a laughin’ shtock to my equils, an’ a curse to meself.

So we shwum on into the black dhark, wid our chests on the logs, trustin’ in the saints an’ the luck of the British army. - “Evenshually we hit ground—a bit av sand an’ a man.

It seems like a miracle, but after you use Opex a few times each day for a few days, you will find that the sore, tender membrane is healed;! sniffling and hawking have ceased and the discharge of catarrhal mu- cus stopped. And_here’s something that will: bring joy to millions—after you use Opex for two weeks the chances are you won't find mucus in your throat in the morning—that means no more hawking and straining. It is worth a whole lot of money to be free from stubborn nasal ca- tarrh, but Opex, which costs so little, will ‘send its purifying, healing, smokelike vapor just where it will do the most good—you can actually see it going in one nostril and out of the other.
