Responsible Agrents wanted Another Clock Coincidence. Here is a strange but absolutely true story. in whch a clook plays a mysterious part. It was a small American timepiece, which stood on the mantlepiece in a sitting room in a Liverpool builder's house. At a quarter past eleven one morning a few weeks ago the timepiece fell from the mantlepiece to the floor. When pickd up it was found to be quite un injured and still going, as if nothing unusual had happened. There seemc.d to. be absolutely no reason why it should have fallen, but an lio-r Tater, wh~en*th'e-btiilder came home-t.- his midd-y meal, -he re inarked that at a quarter pa4 eleven he fell from the top of a building, but happily without sustaining any injury. His wife then described how the clock had fallen at the same time, and the couple pondered in vain over the curious and utterly inexplicable coincidence. 1-Maker renuine blood making tonic, a , the whole system and fortifies ring Medicine" to overcome de l Feeling" so common at that on Mixture L. prescribed and recommended reases the appetite, making it and affords the power to digest un-do.xn women and pale. list )aie cheeks and gives ntw !ife :ellent as a recuperative tornic any disease.
