greatly valued yet it produces much prized

Opals ; and from dirty, apparently worth-

less, soot we get the most precious stones

of all Diamonds.

This illustrates a common situation in the

Drug Store business.

In the opinion of some chemists, the profit
on an individual sale of Bisurated Magnesia
does not appear to be as large as it should.
But it is the aggregate sales that count, and

no matter how much Bisurated Magnesia
you hold in stock we guarantee to sell

—every bottle so if you hold big stocks you

will make large profits.

There is one important difference in the

simile.

The jewels only materialise after a con-

siderable lapse of time, but increased

profits materialise as soon as you stock

—Bisurated Magnesia because our extensive

advertising will send you many new cus-
tomers and sales will mount up rapidly—

there is no waiting for sales.

nesia can be obtained fron-; any wholesaler

his Captain of Chariots after a battle with the Elamites. The King is called "Bearer of the mighty bow,
fearless in battle," and the Elamites were a great host— "by their dust the face of the sun was darkened."
