EIGHT WORDS So Simply Spoken

Essex, Feb. 14th, 1946

Dear S irs , These last few months I have

bean very run-down and miser­able. I've had neuralgia in my face badly.

One day on a bus I met a friend who said " But, my dear, why tuffer? Try Yeast-Vite tablets." These eight words so simply spo­ken have changed me into a completely new person. I eat with a healthy appetite, and sleep well, and have no more nights of agonizing neuralgia. My medicine chest wil l never be without your "vonderful Yeast-Vite tablets.

You can publish this, in order that others can reap the benefit that I have. (Sgd) Miss G.

Aberdeen, Feb. 14th, 1946

I Dear Sirs. I We all take your Yeast-Vite: j iVs a wonderful tonic. My i husband especially has bene­fited from it, in fact he is like a new man since taking it. I have recommended Ycast-Vite to quite a few people.

CHARMING They just

seem to

CHARM away

H E A D A C H E S I don't know how it happens. All I know is that so soon as I get a Headache—and sometimes they're really bad—I take a Beecham's Powder. Like magic the Headache is ' charmed •way' in a very short time. The throbbing ceases, Head-heaviness is dispelled and I'm as alert and clear minded as usual. Beecham's Powders are quickly absorbed therefore speedy in action. They are equally beneficial for Neuralgia, Rheumatic Twinges, Colds, Chills and Lumbago.

Where Your Heart Is . . .

By Reginald Lester " The re she is again!" A t Veronica 's words , a l l four heads

tu rned towards the door, and the giggle of her three companions at the cafe table must have been audib le t o the l i t t l e middle-aged w o m a n w h o had jus t entered She raised her eyes—clear i n ­t e l l i gen t eyes tha t were set i n a face s t i l l vo t ing—and glanced for a m o m e n t i n the d i r e c t i o n of the group. T h e n , w i t h a s l ight b a c k w a r d t i l t of her head, and an almost impercep t ib le fa l te r i n her step, she cont inued her way to the table in the far -away corner .

" The management ought not to a l l ow people l i ke t ha t to lunch here!" Veronica 's voice was even sharper t h a n usual .

Her companion pursed-his lips qu izz i ­ca l ly .

" Y o u k n o w , Vee," he r e m a r k e d q u i e t l y , " 1 t h i n k you ' re a b i t o l a snob "

" Maybe , " she re to r ted , sharp ly , " bu t there's a l i m i t to e v e r y t h i n g . Hands i n pockets, shoe laces undone, scarf un t i ed . Spoils the r epu ta t ion of the place as a smar t r es tauran t " A n d she tossed her head i m p a t i e n t l y .

" Everyone can' t be as chic as you , m y dear," her compan ion answered. " Y o u r taste is m D o e e a h l e . and w e l l , y o u mus t a d m i t tha t you have the means, too ."

" What ' s the ma t t e r w i t h you to-day, B iU?" Veronica demanded.

B u t in her hear t . Veronica thought she knew w h a t was w r o n g w i t h B i l l . She had t u r n e d h i m d o w n for the t h i r d t ime the previous even ing He had a s k i d aga in : " B u t w h y ? " and her f l ippant r ep ly had been: " O h . just because"

Her f l ippancy had been an effort to hide her real feelings To m a r r y h i m w o u l d mean the final abandonment of a l l her hopes -those o v e r p o w e r i n g desires w h i c h had taken root in her adolescent years, and g r o w n w i t h her i n s t rength , i n spite of a l l her parents had done to uproot them. H o w her fa ther had s tormed, but his daugh te r had t aken refuge in silence, her resolve f i rmer t h a n ever . H o w w o u l d it be possible if Bill . . .

T h e lunch wen t off as pleasant ly as lunches w i t h B i l l usually d i d , and they were discussing, the mat inee to f o l l o w w h e n a crash at the far corner c l a i m e d everyone 's interest . The u n t i d y l i t t l e w o m a n had a l lowed the coffee cup t o s l ip , and now i t lay upon the saucer, i n fragments .

" No w o n d i r ! " exc la imed one of Veronica 's g i n companions , " she was c rouch ing over i t . scarcely ra i s ing i t above the table to d r i n k I was w a t c h ­ing her."

" Disgus t ing!" Veronica m u t t e r e d , p u l l i n g a gr imace .

I d l y the t a lk d r i f t ed on, over coffee and cigarettes, w h e n suddenly there came a c ry f rom behind the counter a t the other end of the cafe. The chef was c l u t c h i n g his w r i s t w i t h a fold of his apron , and the fold was red—and becoming redder every second. T h e w a i t e r who had jus t rendered assistance at the table, and w h o had h u r r i e d up , stood rooted to the spot, and obv ious ly para lysed w i t h m o m e n t a r y panic.

Veronica covered the distance in a r e m a r k a b l y short t ime . Not for n o t h i n g had she w o r k e d so conscient iously a t her V . A D t r a i n i n g . Here at last was an o p p o r t u n i t y to pu t i t to p rac t i ca l use.

" B i l l , " she commanded , " g ive me your braces at once!" and she t u rned to the chef, whose eyes were now d i l a t i n g w i t h t e r ro r .

"Scissors!" she requested c u r t l y . Q u i c k l y she r ipped up the sleeve and

w i t h B i l l ' s braces formed a t o n r n i o r e t r o u n d the a r m . above the severed a r t e ry . T h e n she began to tie a knot .

" Not a g ranny kno t—tha t won ' t ho ld . T i e a reef!"

Veronica glanced round in astonish* ment to see who was speaking I t was the shabby l i t t l e w o m a n

" Q u i c k l y ! There 's no t ime to lose." she spoke in a tone of a u t h o r i t y as Veronica hesitated " O n e of v»>u nr—s there ," and she indicated the s i v t wh«'re the fingers were to be appl ied . " now, ho ld steady u n t i l the *ot>rn!.niie4 is t igh tened . A pencil w i l l do for tha t . Anyone got one ' '" B i l l wh ipped one out of his pocket

A f t e r w h a t seemed ages t h e blood stopped spu r t i nc f r o m the wt>und Veronica real ized tha t i t was n o t t!\v->y = easy, i n the exc i t emen t of an em T O . » - . C V .

to app ly her theore t ica l k n o w l e d g e i n prac t i ca l use.

T h e low. some-what mus ica l v<-ic- r m-t i n u e d , addressing the eh" f -

" N o w go and l ie d o w n , and k- ep quits s t i l l . " T o the manager , w h o had a r r i v e d on the scene, she said: " C a l l a doc tor at once, please. We've done a l l we can for the moment But i f he hasn' t come w i t h i n t w e n t y minutes , let me k n o w . I ' m going to sit outside on the ter race ." A n d she w a l k e d out q u i e t l y .

" W e l l , I ' m !' exc la imed Veronica , " t a k i n g the who le t h i n g out of m y hands l i ke tha t ! "

" I ' m so r ry ! " I t was the l i t t l e woman ' s voice again. She had been h a l f - w a y ou t of the door when Veronica 's words , spoken loudly , had reached her ears. " Y o u see " she began, b u t Veronica cu t her short .

" O h , i t ' s a l l r i g h t . B u t I t h i n k I ought to k n o w w h a t to do, cons ider ing I ' ve had fu l l V . A D. t r a i n i n g . " The g i r l t u r n e d on her heel, and wa lked back to her t ab le But she seemed unable to regain her fo rmer composure L i f t i n g her handbag and gloves f r o m the table , she prepared to depar t .

" I say!" I t was B i l l ' s voice. " G o i n g a l ready! The show doesn't s tar t t i l l 2-30."

" Sorry!—1 don ' t feel l ike i t now, " she excused herself, end sl ipped away alone.

As she approached her flat shp became conscious of an o v e r w h e l m i n g rense of loneliness—a loneliness w h i c h caused her to shudder as i f w i t h cold S l o w l y she dragged herself upsta i rs hoping she w o u l d meet no one on the way L e t t i n g herself i n . she w e n t in to her bedroom, and sat d o w n w e a r i l y on the edge of the bed.

• • e • • r

A week passed, w i t h i ts usual round of meaningless social engagements, and T h u r s d a y found Veronica again at the cafe a w a i t i n g the a r r i v a l of her friends. . Id ly she perused a d a i l y p i c tu re paper, t u r n i n g the pages listlessly w i t h one eye e n her w a t c h Suddenly her fingers t igh tened S*ie brought the paper some inches nearer to her eyes Could she be seeing ar ight? There , on the page before her was a photograph ot the shabby l i t t l e w o m a n , and over i t the words in th ick black t y p e — " W O M A N D O C T O K S H E R O I S M Presentat ion to M a r i a n Stean M D 'See Paae 6)." ..

f e v e r i s h l y , Veronica ; . .meo to m e news page, and read tha t four months p rev ious ly a ch i ld ren ' s hospi tal had caught fire d u r i n g the n igh t , at wh ich D r Stean had organized the r emova l of a l l the l i t t l e pat ients , and how she had then remembered one smal l boy w h o was shut up i n a r o o m apar t — isolated w i t h measles. Dash ing back t h r o u g h smoke and flames, - h c ^ i a d ca r r ied h i m almost to safety when the blocks f r o m a col laps ing staircase- had fal len upon her—crush ing her hands. A fireman had saved the ch i l d s l ife, and hers. B u t no surgeon could savt her hands. M a r i a n Stean had escaped w i t h her l i fe , b u t her l ife 's w o r k was finished for ever. W h a t could a doctor do w i t h o u t hands?

Veronica was conscious of a feel ing of sickness. Ris ing f r o m the table , she dashed ou t of the cafe, a lmost col­l i d i n g w i t h B i l l i n the d o o r w a y . She passed h i m w i t h o u t a w o r d , and ran i n to the street.

I t d i d no t m a t t e r to Veronica tha t Doctor Stean w o u l d be u n a w a r e of the w o r k i n g s of her m i n d . I t was enough tha t i n her thoughts even, she had been d i s loya l to one w h o so l i t t l e mer i t ed d i s l o y a l t y . I n a flash she realized the mean ing of i t a l l n o w — t h a t un t i ed shoe lace, the scarf u n t i d i l y draped r o u n d the d r o o p i n g shoulders, the crash of the coffee cup. Dr. Stean had. not ye t become used to a r t i f i c i a l hands! I t was too soon ye t to be able to make proper use o f those strange append­ages, and whose f u l l use even w o u l d never approach to w h a t her o w n clever hands w o u l d have con t inued to do.

Veronica r ang the be l l under the name-plate , i n a block of fiats. She had paused a m o m e n t on her w a y . to con­sul t a telephone d i r e c t o r y i n a ca l l -box, to f ind ou t the address. She was ushered s t r a igh t i n to the smal l but com­for tab le lounge, and i n a few minutes Dr . Stean entered.

W i t h o u t w a i t i n g , Veronica burs t out : " Dr . Stean, I 've come to apologise!"

Her lips were t r e m b l i n g s t rangely, and she g r ipped her bag t i g h t l y . She wen t on w i t h o u t f a l t e r i ng : " I ' ve been jus t a beast!"

Dr. Stean smi led , and said, i n a low, k i n d l y voice:

" W o n ' t vou sit d o w n —please?" A n d then, w i t h i n a few minutes , she

was p o u r i n g out to the elder w o m a n a l l her f rus t ra ted hopes. Pa t i en t ly M a r i a n Stean l istened, w h i l e Veronica to ld her of her father 's ban upon her heart 's desire—to qua l i fy in medicine. Then the doctor began te l l ine the younger g i r l of her o w n " w o r k , d r a w i n g her in teres t and sympa thy , t i l l Veronica e x c l a i m e d : " O h — y o u must have been ve ry , v e r y happy before th i s— th i s accident I i a p n - ned. weren ' t you? "

" I was—and I wasn ' t . " the doctor answered w i t h a quie t smile , bu t the smile was of the l ips on ly . The eyes re ta ined the i r shadow of sadness

* I I on ly I cou ld be a d o c t o i . I 'd be happy for evermore!" Veronica insis ted.

" I said tha t once too my dear. ' the doctor repl ied . " I was so sure of my­self t ha t 1 t h r e w a w a y •>ttur chances to fu l f i l wha t seemed to be the dearest w i s h of my h e a r t "

* Wha t were they?" Veronica asked. I n rep ly Dr Stean countered w i t h

another ques t ion: Have you no desire to m a r r y ? "

The g i r l flushed, and then shook her head

" I don ' t t h i n k so A t feast, not yet. I ' m on ly t w e n t y . I f I cou ld take my degree, and do some w o r k for a h i t , perhaps . . . "

•• W e l l , " the doctor spoke q u i e t l y , " v o u seem to know your o w n m i n d . I was in love mysel f once, but 1 loved m y w o r k more. O r perhaps 1 should say, I thought 1 d i d . I sent John away because I believed m y career was more t o me. I broke o f f the engagement, and then realized— t o o late- tha t i n a w o m a n s l ife love must have first place. T h i n k w e l l before you d o wha t I 've , done. Now you see. I h - t v e ne i ther a husband nor my w o r k vVhal can I do w i t h these?" and she held out her a r t i f i c i a l hands, pa the t i ca l ly helpless. T h e n suddenly she smi led again

" V e r o n i c a — I have an idea 1 W i l l y o u come and l ive w i t h me help me i n m y work— be m y hands— w h i l e you are ea rn ing to s tudy medic ine? What do y o u say?"

The g i r l j u m p e d to her feet in amaze­men t

•' B u t — b u t Dr . Stean! Y o u don ' t k n o w me! I m i g h t be u t t e r l y worthless — a n y t h i n g "

" M y dear, anyone w h o cou ld do wha t you 've done to-day, cannot be w o r t h ­less. A n d anyone whose heart 's desire is so f ixed as yours is . . ." she left the sentence express ively unf inished Then she added: " I t w i l l g ive me new l i fe a n d n e w hope. Y o u ' l l be d o i n g me a service. I sha l l have somefhinc to t h i n k abou t—someth ing to do. We can s tudy together. Perhaps I ' l l be able to make some of the r o u g h places smoother, as y o u go a long ,"

The re came a knock at the door. The m a i d entered.

" A M r . M a r t i n to see y o u , Doc tor . " The doctor 's face b lanched, a n d

Ve ron i ca t hough t she was going to f a i n t . T h e n jus t as s w i f t l y she con t ro l l ed her­self w i t h an effort .

" Show h i m in to the d i n i n g - r o o m , M a r y . T e l l h i m I ' m engaged for a f e w m i n u t e s . "

As the door closed on the m a i d , Veron ica rose to t ake he r leave.

" Come and see me again t o - m o r r o w , " D r Stenn t o l d her, " and w e ' l l t a l k over a r rangements t h e n . "

• * » * * « N e x t day, Dr Stean's first words were : " I ' m a f ra id you must have thought I

le t you go ra ther a b r u p t l y yesterday." she said, " b u t m y v i s i t o r w a s — w e l l — unexpected , and his v i s i t ve ry s igni f i ­cant . "

" O h ! " Veronica m u r m u r e d , a l i t t l e mys t i f i ed by the strange l ight in her eys.

" Yes—it was a M r . M a r t i n . " said M a r i a n Stean qu ie t ly " I ment ioned h i m t o you yesterday as J o h n — m y . lohn I had never expected to see h i m again, bu t he saw the morn ing ' s paper as you d i d , and came s t ra igh t to me—as you d i d He knew then tha t my w o r k could never come between us again "

O h — I ' m so g l ad !" Veronica s qu ick percept ion to ld her tha t the doctor and her John had made the i r pact anew

T h e n — l i k e a sudden c l o a k - c a m e a reac t ion Th i s , of course, w o u l d mean the end of her hopes Dr Stean w o u l d be m a r r i e d now Veronica 's l i fe w i . u l d go on as before—fut i le—a devas ta t ing waste Suddenly , her con t ro l snapped, and she bu r i ed her face in her hands, sobbing Then she fel t a gentle touch on her shoulder.

" W h y re you c ry ing? Sure ly you don t t h i n k th i s w i l l make any differ­ence?"

" I 'm—just—sel f i sh!" the g i r l j e r k e d the words out between her sobs. " I — a m — g l a d — f o r y o u — r e a l l y . "

" D i d you hear w h a t I said, Veronica? 1 said, th i s w i l l make no difference."

Veronica l i f t ed her tear-s tained face W i t h a puzzled excression.

" B u t — h u t you ' r e go ing to m a r r y h i m ? "

The doctor nodded, s m i l i n g . " Yes—but John k n o w s about y o u ,

and approves of m y idea. He o n l y makes one s t i p u l a t i o n . " A g l i n t o f mis ­ch ief c rept in to M a r i a n Stean's soft eyes.

" O h , o f course, t h a t I don ' t l i v e w i t h you w h i l e I ' m s tudy ing . I shou ldn ' t d r eam . . . " Veronica ' s w o r d s were cut short .

" No. H i s s t i p u l a t i o n is t h a t i f y o u ever f a l l i n love—rea l ly and t r u l y i n l o v e — y o u ' l l t h r o w u p y o u r career and m a r r y your m a n a t once. John says he 'd never be responsible for a l l o w i n g another m a n to suffer w h a t he d i d ! "
